Case in point... Well that is an excellent problem with string theory that you have posed, but you know I can solve it by just making up a whole new dimension. Take that!

String theory is very theoretical and impossible to prove. It could very well be correct, but we won't know unless string theory makes a predction that we can observe. I think it has gotten some bad press making it sound like it was all just made up. There is a lot of math behind it and some solid physics, but nothing to prove it wrong or right.

You have it backwards. Weak-minded physicists like me aren't capable of doing the math necessary to work in string theory. So we hope and wish and feel intuitively that, surely, reality can't be THAT complicated. There must be a simpler answer. If there is, I at least have a chance of understanding it.

I dont think Physisits are weak minded and I is no physists.However dimensionality is a very interesting approach.
In probability densities we have "n "space random variable where integration to find the probability in over multiple dimensions. It is possible to develop a theory of the Aether using multiple dimensions. ,In the same way as we intergrate over radom varialbles.

String theory shows much promise, but so long as it remains background-dependent, it will not likely advance much further. Most theoreticians believe space is relational, not merely a stage against which matter & energy interact. Relalional theories regard the matter & energy interactions, specifically their spatial & temporal intervals, as the "source" of space itself.

Sting theory seems to have potential. It tries to put to gether a coherent explantion for the ambiguties present in other theoris. But again there is no one theory will explain everything.

You can get around just about any barriers by simply adding another dimension to the universe - as currently defined at the moment.
