Is it now fasionable for conservative minded folks to rip on it? This trend is evocative of the NAZI denunciation of relativity as jewish science, an incomplete and untested theory at that time. Only now with muon decay observation, GPS, and soon with Gravity Probe B will aspects of this widely accepted theory become "proven".

Excuse me for violating the thought police on the SPACE Board. As a net veteran, you must realize that you lose with the 1st mention of the "N word' although maybe you were never on USENET. FYI, relativity was eminently testable and was successfully tested LONG before the N word folks came to power.

Lay off the coffee, and simply accept the fact that what I wrote was simply what I wrote, not some imagined attack on liberals or the start of a new pogrom. Unlike the even more mysterious quantum theories, string theory has produced little science as of yet. QT is testable, however counter-intuitive. (I hope that citing a theory not well liked by Einstein does not somehow qualify me as an anti-semite.)

Back to the string folks. The theories get more and more abstract, revised with fashion and continuously untestable over time. Nobody can really tell if they're even anywhere near a right track or not. My stated opinion, free of ethno-political prejudice is that ST is like modern art, fashionable, beloved in academia, but of limited value. Your mileage may vary.
