So I guess you believe that Dirac's Nobel prize should be rescinded:
#1: String Theory is entirely bunkem...it’s an academic exercise to reconcile Relativity with Quantum Mechanics.
Can’t happen. R and QM are mutually exclusive theories. They could both be wrong, or just one of them could be right, never both. Thus, String Theory is a doomed concept because ST wants to make R and QM both correct. Can’t happen.
#2: dark energy is not real. It’s an academic fudge factor to “explain” why the universe is expanding at faster and faster rates each year...something that modern Physics says is impossible without some unknown energy source.
Except, no such energy source exists.
#3: Gravity itself and Gravity Waves can both be measured. Pretending that they don’t exist or are due to some other Force is silly.
I guess #1 is why the ST are gaga about this idea. They can’t reconcile gravity and QM so they just get rid of gravity, hee hee.
I’m increasingly of the opinion that string theory and the multi-dimensional universe(s)... is just a cop-out. It’s a kluge. It’s intellectual duct-tape, and it’s what happens when we simply don’t understand something very well at all.
I tend to think that the real answer, whatever it is, is simpler and more elegant.
Sorry but I'll believe Erik Verlinde, 48, a respected string theorist and professor of physics at the University of Amsterdam, over a FReeper whose only claim to fame was that he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night..........
I'm sure he's got more papers published than you too.
So I guess you believe that Dirac's Nobel prize should be rescinded:
Can be measured. I don’t believe they’ve had direct confirmation though.
String theory, as you noted, is BS of the worst sort. One of the basic ideas is to give the evolosers an infinity of universes to work with since they know the odds against evoloserism with just the one universe we see around us.
