Physicists who have been roaming the “landscape” of string theory—the space of zillions and zillions of mathematical solutions of the theory, where each solution provides the kinds of equations physicists need to describe reality—have stumbled upon a subset of such equations that have the same set of matter particles as exists in our universe.
But this is no small subset: there are at least a quadrillion such solutions, making it the largest such set ever found in string theory.

My definition of string theory -— the phenomenon of the ability that any quantity of rolled up string, when placed in a drawer, manages, on its own, to end up in a tangled mass (okay...mess), which cannot be untangled, despite diligent and heroic efforts, as well as a prodigious use of very bad words.
String Theory is a made up industry to give some scientists a job instead of letting them fend like normal people on unemployment. It’s a hell of an expensive way to keep some nerds off the street. It is definitely an enterprise worthy of ZERO taxpayer dollars.
Then there is James Clerk Maxwell’s 200 field equations of which 196 were thrown out by Heaviside, except 4 which he converted into vector equations resulting in everything we know about the electromagnetic spectrum.
Name one.
The MEST universe.

Max Tegmark, Physicist giving a TED Talk in 2014 stated flatly that: “If you could measure what all the particles in your brain are doing and find they perfectly obey the laws of Physics, then that would mean that this purported soul is having absolutely no effect on what you are doing. Whereas if you were to find that the particles in your brain are not all obeying the laws of Physics because they are being somehow pushed around by the soul, that would bring the soul into the domain of Physics. Because now you just measure all these new forces that the soul is exerting and study the properties physically of it just as you would the properties of a field, etc.” Failing to see his own error (fallacy of the undistributed middle)he leads himself into proclaiming that the brain is conscious.
