There is still a great deal of support for string theory, and will continue to be until something else comes along that has a better chance of explaining all this. At the moment, there isn't anything else. Harte What about quantum gravity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted April 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just now, sci-nerd said: Reality is subjective, and God is Schródingers Cat. If a believer opens the box, he's real. If an atheist opens it, he's dead. There you go, I united science and religion in one blow! I have a little saying about that. (in the bold) We are subjectively experiencing objective realty.

It's the subset that actually successfully combines quantum theory and gravity (Einstein's General Theory.) Harte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harte Posted April 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2019 There are variations on string theory. Could be another variation not yet uncovered. Harte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
