It amazes me how, whenever they hit a snag in their calculations, they come up with another assinine theory to cover up the failings of the first. String theory is a fine example of the lengths to which they will go to unite quantum mechanics with relativity.

"Hmmm...that's not gonna work....how about we say that the universe is made up of...eleven dimensions....yeah! That's the ticket!...and uh...ummm....all but say.....four of them...disappeared after the big bang.....yeah...no, wait...they CURLED UP!....yeah, that's it!...they curled up into....into.....nothing!...something so small it can't be measured...yeah!....There! I think this will convince the Journal Nature!....(if I could only remember the question...)"

Right. There was a snag in Newton's Theory of Gravity. The calculations didn't add up and the Theory could not explain why the orbit of Mercury processed the way it did.

So what did those silly scientists do? Some boob named Albert Einstein invented some preposterous theory of gravity to "cover up" the failings of that Newtonian theory. It's called The General Theory of Relativity, and along with Quantum Mechanics, it's one of the most experimentally verified theories around.

I'm sure glad scientists don't listen to you, they'd never get anything done.
