“String theory may be the way forward, but there is no consensus yet.”
I started to respond to another poster, but saw this and realized you have wonderfully condensed all that is wrong with all that is called science today.
SCIENCE IS NOT DONE MY CONSENSUS.
Every new discovery in science always comes from that rare individual genius who contradicts the consensus.
Global warming and evolution are “sciences” done by “consensus;” which is why they are not science.
(Don’t get funny ideas. I do not believe in God or creation.)

There's no need to shout. An individual can make any theory he chooses. But it only has currency when a consensus is reached. That's the value of a consensus.
Every new discovery in science always comes from that rare individual genius who contradicts the consensus.
Then can you name me that rare individual genius who came up with string theory?
