- WantonQuantum 2y agoFound Sabine Hossenfelder's HN account! I am, of course, joking but she posts this sort of easy and empty clickbait.
- tsunamifury 2y agoLaughing at someone who says “hey an idea that isn’t falsifiable isn’t a good theory and certainly not something that any other ideas or theories should be constructed upon is I think more serious than not.

Brian Cox didn't even make the wikipedia page so its difficult to claim he had any major role in perpertaring it as a large scale fraud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory
