It reminds me of the great quote from Richard Feynman...

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts

Einstein may now have been debunked on the Speed of Light, as was in his theorems gravitational forces.

We think we know so much, when we hardly know anything

Then again, had Einstein been aware of this new information, he may have been able to work out his unification theory.

I try to keep up on some of this stuff, as much as I can, but I don’t have the advanced math to follow it all.

Many of the newer interpretations say that not only is FTL possible, it’s also necessary.

Some of them are Kaluza-Klein models with a few more dimensions than 5, it’s looking like they don’t need 11 or more. String theory is actually dying on the vine, sort of, as more classical explanations are starting to fill the void.
