STRING THEORY

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-25 15:11 ID:+JteCVB9

I successfully lurked on every topic related to the string theory  for im studying early physics at college. And seriously, what the hell were they thinking with these theories.

<<actually, you could develope a theory that was an exact discription of reality, and an inability to test it wouldn't affect whether or not it was how reality actually worked.>>

This "discription" isn't really useful to science though, because, due to its unverifiability, and its apparent unfalsifiability, we can never really know if it is true. Such a matter is the bread of philosophers and logicians, not physicists.

Yes, it should be the String Hypothesis, a Theory must undergo rigorous and thorough attempts at falsification to become accepted. However, we should let physicists continue in an attempt to produce falsifiable results, else we may overlook the truth.
