This is getting ridiculous. I feel like string theory will end in one of two possibilites: either it will be completely useless for anything except providing a mathematical diversion for a handful of physicists so that they can in turn dazzle laypeople with buzzwords that lead nowhere, or it will have some devastating practical application that will lead to the demise of humanity.
- ybexy 3y agoIt would be really great if string theory would just end! It is kind of worse than new age religion and it sucks way to much research dollars. Many people have literally wasted their lives with this. Just like new age religion.
- dylan604 3y agoat one point, the scientific belief was a heliocentric universe. until it wasn't after enough evidence was found to disprove it. even then, it took awhile to become accepted. there's plenty of theories out there currently that at least we only consider them theory instead of accepted because nothing better came along. so at least we are not locking people up because they do/don't believe in string theory. at some point it will either be proven wrong/right, but there's no harm in letting people play with it working towards an answer.

Religion is not waste of time really, it is part of one's world-view. It doesn't try to accomplish anything, except perhaps motivate us to not do bad deeds to avoid going to Hell.
