String theory

Is String Theory a Meme?

Are there better theories now?

The mathematics are beautiful. Even skeptics don't deny that.
The number of predictions its made which have been confirmed by experiment is zero.

It keeps going because it (and loop quantum gravity) are the only games in town.
Maybe it's right but, if it's not, no one wants to admit they wasted their entire career. Scientists are human too.
You decide if that makes it a meme.

Choose one

No

>Are there better theories now?
Not even close

So

string theory is just speculative Math

that's like saying quantum mechanics is speculative probability.

Lrn2meme fgt pls

>speculative probability

where's the lie

But it is

hasn't quantum dynamics made predictions though? string theory has made zero predictions
not a physicist but i'm pretty sure experiments have confirmed quantum theories, no?
