Of course, no theory is worth more than bag of beans unless it makes testable predictions about the universe.
Wen says that his theory has significant implications for the states of matter that existed soon after the Big Bang but doesn't develop the idea into specific predictions.
It's always so disappointing to look for the rubber-meeting-the-road part of a theory and see that the tires are still spinning a few feet above the ground.
- jamesbritt 14y agoIn what sense is this article using the word "theory"? In the scientific sense of "as true as things come" (e.g. theory of gravity, theory of relativity), or in the pop scientific sense of "plausible conjecture"? Seems like the latter. Little wonder we hear people saying evolution is "just a theory" when science reporting can't even use decent terminology.
