I'm not sure how you could get work out of them. And that's where this comment will come to a whoa. :^)

I’m buying the argument that if string theory were real —it would spin off real world applications. But over the last 50 years—it has done nothing of the kind.

So how can it be so bewitchingly beautiful to math geeks and yet be a nothing burger?

Does beauty mean nothing?

Here’s my theory.

String theory won’t get us to the next star. But it might get us to the next galaxy.

In the meantime there are some intermediary physics that need to be explored—in order to get the civilization to the next stars and on into the milky way.

The whole physics community needs to drop string theory for awhile —and build off the normal 4 dimensions. Three dimensions of space and one dimension of time.

All the answers in four dimensions have not yet been realized. Get those done first.
