String theory lied to us and now science communication is hard.This is just my opinion man. String theory is not bad. String theory is fine and interesting. ...

this is vaguely related to the string theory related post from a day or two ago, it's all bazinga science folks TL;DW string theory is a big thing because people that read pop science really liked it and it took a long time for physicists to come out in force and say "this is untestable garbage"

      Theories depending on ever-more universes which cannot be observed at all by us are massively inelegant compared to ones with just our universe.
