SO........WHO SAYS STRING THEORY IS RIGHT?

Its popularity - especially in popular science circels - is way ahead of its veracity or reliability.

There has been no verification of even the smallest part of it to date, and

Andrei Linde, professor of physics at Stanford University, points out that string theory raises as many problems as it solves, and in no way explains some of the outstanding question of how the universe formed such as inflation.

But as Linde pointed out in a recent Sunday Times article, cosmological questions are taking longer and longer to resolve because the experiments needed to test ideas are taking longer and longer to perform - and in the meantime, the theorists argue.

Remember, no theory has even a vestige of truth until it has been experimentally tested.

I am still trying to comprehend quarks but find some aspects of string theory interesting such as the reported vibration in and out of multiple dimensions.

If I were to lay odds though I would say it's wrong. Just a little too exotic.

Wanna bet? I'll give you 2 to 1 odds... (but I get to hold the money)

String theory is a little to complex for me so I think that most of is will fall apart as new experiments are performed, like the old creationist crystalline sphere idea, but I do think that the idea of matter coming down to a smallest piece will survive.

i don't have self assurance in string theory or the different theory. i understand that the fairly some mathematical aspects of String theory and M-theory wisely describe the observable Universe and the testable parts of Quantum Mechanics. There are no longer any mathematical aspects interior the God hypothesis and none of that's supported by any actual evidence.

A whole bunch of idiots thats who. I see all you evolutionists need a new theory now that evolution is found to be such flawed "science" which is actually not science as it has no proof what so ever in it and cannot be tested. Creationists had the same believe since the creation.... and they don't have to keep changing the "facts"..........

It is a theory that is the currently what appears to explain what we are seeing.

Unless there are other theories and people are very interest to listen to.

It is not proven right or wrong. People are working on it.

it's not very probable.it's mostly just a hypotheticle theory.
it's mainly used so that researchers have something to base studys on,and as an alternate theory.

stick it up there with the oedipus complex, unproveable and full of hearsay and conjecture.
