I don't think you 'get' string theory.
I don't think I do either.

Sorry, that was cheap. God, I hate this thread (Irony intentional).

What I'm saying is no, you see, scientists are actually quite happy on occasion to accept and support ideas without evidence if they seem logical/rational. String theory is a great example cos there will never be evidence to support it because it will always be impossible to create an experiment that will prove it. As a result string theory comes in many flavours most of which are wholly incompatible with each other. Its almost like a faith with many denominations. hth.

Edit : Yes, this is a shitpost, but this thread is full of them so I feel entitled to make one.
