Instead of treating it as mathematical games, for whatever ungodly reason most physicists take it seriously.

Because string theorists might just maybe be right, and they don't insist on 17 mile long, multi-billion dollar circular tunnels in the ground.

Pad, pencil, laptop, living expenses... Pretty cheap science.

Keeps 'em off the street.

Catholics might be right, too, but no one calls Catholicism scientific.

As for particle physicists’ boondoggles, if they nit dominate string theorists at least comprise a sizeable faction in every physics department of every university everywhere in the world. That adds up.
