String Theory?

Question

Why is string theory such a prevalent theory among physicists when there is absolutely no empirical evidence for it?

Answer 1

I believe string theory is on its way out.

It is a simple way to express the apparent connection of all mass in terms laymen can understand. Otherwise one has to use magnetic models but still what is really connecting all forms of matter?

I'm keeping this simple as it appears you already know your physics.

Answer 2

It is enough that people are corrupted and ignorant that string theory is such a pervalent theory among phyicists when there is absolutely no empirical evidence for it.

String theory is quantified sub atomic theory that solves the abnormalities and problems found in quantum physics. String theory describes the universe as a collection of entangled vibrating strings. The vibrations of these strings determine their quantum manifestations. Some collections quantify electrons, while others, protons and so on. The entangled strings occular speciality is to reveal the relationships between these quantum objects and transcend their machinistic cave.

Answer 3

It's one of the two known possibilities for uniting relativity (gravity) with quantum mechanics (other three forces). And since physicists believe that at the earliest time in the universe these four forces were unified, there has to be a mathematical explanation for it.

Answer 4

It makes sense. It combines several other prevailing theories that have been at odds with eachother for years. All theories start out on the blackboard, then, finally, they are proved. It seems like this is going to happen as there are several promising experiments out there.

Answer 5

Its a theory that unifies general relativity to quantum physics, which would explain a lot.
