What's wrong with String Theory? Isn't it just another

>make predictions
lol

>>8311079
should i study physics or mathematics????!!!

unprovable. Although I don't know that much about it but it does seem like it is just conjecture

unprovable or unfalsifiable?

the lack of predictions is not a problem of string theory, it is a problem of quantum gravity, and string theory is the only known theory for quantum gravity. Blame the planck scale, not the theory!

You're an idiot.
Look into
- Loop quantum gravity
- Euclidean quantum gravity
- Group field theory
- Hořava–Lifshitz gravity
- Superfluid vacuum theory
- Canonical quantum gravity
- Twistor theory

And many others.

none of them is a theory of quantum gravity, actually. Because they have the word "quantum" and "gravity" together, doesn't mean shit.

No UV nor IR completition. No renormalization schem. No s-matrix computations. They are just nothing. And, even worse, none of them can predict black hole entropy. Why do you even call them theories os quantum gravity?

Nothing

>>8311104
probably unfalsifiable

It uses circular reasoning.
It uses itself to to prove itself.

hahaha

my sides are resonating in a 6-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifold


Until string theory can calculate cross sections for known particle interactions, it's not the theory it claims to be.
