the string theorists admitted that after 20 years, they still did not know how to test string theory

I happen to think string theory shows great promise - but it is this admission which, so far, makes it tantamount to religion. Here's hoping they find a way to test it.

They're looking pretty hard for ways to test Superstring Theory. And there are many critics of the field, a loyal opposition who think that physics ought to be testable. But what's testable now and what might be testable a few years from now are very different things. We're still on the way to something, but what it is we don't quite know (kind of describes life, too, huh?).
