> String theory, while unproven, is not crazy BS. <
My point was that string theory (and the ideas in this article) have no hard evidence to back them up. I would not call string theory “crazy BS” because there is some math to behind it. But without that experimental evidence, I don’t think string theory deserving of all that much respect. Just my opinion.
Now here’s the thing. Both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are odd, very odd. But both have been completely verified in the lab. Einstein himself proposed some experiments to test Relativity. And, of, course, his theories passed those tests.
But there seems to be no way to test the ideas in this article - or to test string theory. Hence the gentle satire (or ribbing, if you wish).
