String theory is crackpot

It makes no testable predictions! Wah wah wah! I only have a high-school education but I am perfectly suited to critique the most complicated scientific endeavour humanity has ever undertaken! Wah wah!

Relativity wasn't testable until, well, we found an experiment in a solar eclipse.  Just saying.

It's worth studying for the same reason time travel is worth studying.  (If you think nobody studies time travel, it's because they wouldn't get money if they called it that.)  Even if it doesn't work out, we can learn a lot about the math and ideas which lead to the theory in the first place.  Science, if nothing else, is about figuring out the what-if hypothetical questions first and trying to understand the real world in that framework.
