So... has string theory ever predicted any experimental results?
I don't follow the string theory goings-on, but I doubt it. Its always struck me as seeming like they just make up a bunch of crazy stuff, most likely after passing a joint around.
Then again, trigonometry seemed that way to me too.
It has, but there’s no way (at present) to carry out the experiments. Check the “stringtheory” keyword (above) and search for “Large Hadron Collider” in that topic list. There’s at least one experiment which will (further) refine, well, let me do it... no, let me use Google... okay, I’m going to be now, but this is probably good:
