"A little learning is a dang'rous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.
Fir'd at first sight with what the Muse imparts, In fearless youth we tempt the heights of Arts, While from the bounded level of our mind Short views we take, nor see the lengths behind;
But more advanc'd, behold with strange surprise New distant scenes of endless science rise! So pleas'd at first the towering Alps we try, Mount o'er the vales, and seem to tread the sky,
Th' eternal snows appear already past, And the first clouds and mountains seem the last; But, those attain'd, we tremble to survey The growing labours of the lengthen'd way,
Th' increasing prospects tire our wand'ring eyes, Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise!"

My cat is a strong believer in string theory. So was Schroedingers cat before he was put it in a sub-atomic particle box.

Sounds like a lot of unintelligible connection of scientific words, terms, and phrases, by someone trying to justify research which seems to get more and more complicated, with the end goal getting more and more unreachable, the more they try.

I strongly suspect that the Higgs Boson doesn’t exist, at least in the realm of where it has been hypothesized to be.
The best ways to explain away the Higgs Boson are called Higgsless models.

crikey, they can’t even spell “bosom” right.

Biiiiinnnnggggoooo! We have a winner!!!
These con artists need 12 (or is it 13 now?) dimensions of reality to make their String Theory model work.

Are all these theories discovered by constantly evolving mathmatical equations on chalk boards?

That’s nothing. Our two Maine Coon cats, Norman and Olivia, are seriously into wire tie and string trimmer discards theory. They bring them back to us for approval.
