bosonic string theory is not a realistic theory. good string theories are "heterotic" and have 10 total dimensions, not 26 (bosonic string theories have 26)

it's not just "to make your calculations work". the fact that anomalies don't cancel unless there are 10 dimensions is basically a mathematical fact. as a rough analogy, relativity implies that there is only one invariant speed (c), and you can't make a working theory with two invariant speeds. the fact that heterotic string theory only works in 10D is like that, sort of a theorem rather than "just to make your calculations work"

anyhow, underlying string theory is M-theory, which says there are 11 total dimensions. and 11 dimensions is special, because 11 dimensions is the smallest number of dimensions with which a kaluza-klein model can reproduce the standard model gauge group SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). it also is the dimension required for the "mother of all supergravity" theories, 11 dimensional supergravity. so 11 dimensions pops out not only from string/M theory but also supergravity theory and also basic facts about the standard model being able to come from kaluza klein (extra dimensional) models.

>there is no way to test it using the scientific method
false, in principle, there is a way to test it. most string theorists would agree to that (though Tom Banks has said some weird shit lately, but he's fringe at this point)

the only reason that controversy exists is because we still don't understand string theory fully (we have very very little understanding of M theory at this point, so that needs work). for all we know, a smart youngster could derive some very clean testable prediction any day now.

practically, as far as we understand string theory now, it is not testable in laboratory, but only because of our limitations at building super powerful colliders (think the LHC, but the size of the galaxy. not easy.) but there is a chance that someone makes progress on string/M theory and we get a more easily detectable signature. also, it is always possible we happen to spy a cosmic string "whipping" in the sky, something that e.g. LIGO could currently detect.

also, since i'm personally a fan of string gas cosmology, there is a possibility that more mundane astronomy could give us insight into stringy things that happened in the very early universe. something akin to the CMB stuff that WMAP and Planck did, combined with a better understanding of the currently viable cosmological models.

the string theory "skeptics" like Hosstardfelder and Woit like to say "haha! you don't have any predictions... yet! i am super sure you wont get any in the future! i am super sure nothing weird will be detected by telescopes or LIGO! haha!" or "Tom Banks said something weird, haha! that debunks string theory!" or "Haha! Vafa doesn't like KKLT! checkmate string theorists!" but that's just because they're loser dropouts. hosstardfelder is some sort of diversity bureaucrat now, and Woit is a glorified sysadmin for some small cluster at cornell. and don't even mention uber-tard Unzicker. don't trust blogger shills.

well, normal string theory dogma is that the universe started out 11 dimensional and some sort of spontaneous breaking caused 7 to compactify. so, it goes the other way around

in string gas cosmology the idea is that around the time of the big bang, all the dimensions were compactified (or, in a dual perspective, the dimensions were all very very large as in some sort of heat death/big rip scenario) and string dynamics led to only 3 spatial dimensions unfurling (this is actually a beautifully simple argument). so in a way, yes, one might argue that string gas cosmology says that the macroscopic dimensions we see today have something to do with the dynamics that went on when everything was furled up into a super small (or, equivalently, unrolled into a super big) package

basically no. i mean, the strength of gravity does have some dependence on the size of the extra dimensions, but only in braneworld scenarios like ADD or RS do you get gravity being a lot "stronger" than we see it in our 3+1 dimensional spacetime, because they assume the extra dimensions are noncompact. that line of reasoning has nothing to do with the standard string theory ideas nor my string gas cosmology ideas (really, Brandenberger's)

hmmm holography has a lot to do with AdS/CFT, which is based mostly on standard string theory (type II-B to single one out). i don’t think i really mentioned any “3 alternatives”, basically i only proposed one less mainstream idea which is strong gas cosmology, which isn’t really related to holography without some clever gymnastics. the only other place i see holography being relevant is meme Susskind black hole stuff, which i dislike, or it-from-bit stuff which i think may be on the right track but hasn’t materialized anything worth reading yet, or possibly in the ideas of M-theory where a higher dimensional theory reduces to something one dimension lower by taking some limit. on that last point i think there may be some connection between small extra dimensions being taken to 0 size may represent some large-N (dimensions or supersymmetry number) limit.

Feom an outsiders perspective, it blurs the line between ontology and physics. It's empirically motivated, but has the character of mathematicians investigating various ways of axiomatizing a theory, only mathematicians usually analyze very general structures that can apply to a while range of phenomenon, whereas shit like string theoey is very specific. That being said, we still see mind blowi ht connections between shit like supersymmetry and the Langlands program.

I believe it is. When you have to start inventing all sorts of complex artificial models which lack actual evidence then I believe its intellectually comparable to religious people invoking God. By another measure it reminds me of the complex mechanisms medieval academics used to explain the movement of planets and stars when they thought the Earth was the center of the Universe. I believe the answers will be revealed by simpler, but difficult to conceptualize, insights regarding the true nature of existence.

Basically yes. However, pseudoscience is occasionally accurate, so there is a chance that string theory is correct, it's just not plausible and involves unreasonable assumption.

this is a retarded argument. so what if we didn't discover the memes that theorists wanted us to discover? they were wrong. and we have learned things just by making more careful measurements of the standard model, and found new, more subtle things to study.

if it really were a corrupt conspiracy, and experimentalists were just lying to rake in the buxx, then isn't it more likely we would falsely "confirm" what the theorists shill? instead we've said "nope. it's just the same shit we knew years ago." that doesn't seem like a great way to generate hype for more funding, does it?

arguing that because theorists were wrong, then experimentalists should stop making more measurements and confirming what we think is correct, is like saying "okay, game over, we know everything haha" which is brainlet-tier. at least the theorists have taught us that for sure our current model, despite it working super well, can't mesh with e.g. the theory of gravity. there is definitely more to the story. and saying "whelp, no results besides the higgs boson for the LHC, that means game over" is fucking hosstardfelder-tier. physics isn't over and experiments should continue, and there is no evidence of confirmation bias in favor of confirming wacky theories. in fact, i can tell you that experimentalists are HIGHLY skeptical of any measurement they make that might look like SUSY or extra dimensions or shit, and they double/triple check that shit to the point where so far they have always ruled against it.

your argument is blogger-tier, which means you are a useless brainlet internet troll who contributes negatively to the popsci brainlet sphere

He's probably talking about this "unified theory of everything",

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P--HO3KDmdU

The guy put it behind a paywall but he was basically peer reviewing it here before then, and the basics are that it models everything as a single infinite fluid. So then to compute it you just you use a basic fluid diffusion / contraction equation (fluid is actually on a real number line, not absolute) and you calculate this on an automaton and voila, what you see in that video appears. Literally all that is happening in that video is the numbers in each cell are averaging. It's STUPIDLY simple. But you can see for yourself simulated waves, particles, gravity, lines of force, etc.... Guy was having problems with people saying he was lying and there is no way all that came from a basic fluid diffusion equation, but a bunch of us reverse engineered his program and thats all it is, literally just numbers averaging with their neighbors to represent diffusion if positive and contraction if negative. Just infinite fluid, that's all any of this existence is, theoretically . He posted here for a few months until a few physicists who frequent reddit came here trying to start shit.

You can simulated all 4 forces simultaneously using the most stupidly simple fluid equation. Like, the equation is so simple you feel like a 5 year old even computing it, and yet there are the 4 forces. It's some shit

Hossenfelder is a retard that does not understand this is not only about quantum gravity. We do have a theory of quantum gravity, it is called QFT, and it works and predicts everything at low energies. What we do not have is a theory of high energy quantum gravity. Her nonsense about alternative, cheaper experiments is not going to do shit to advance our knowledge.

Sounds like Gary just reads much of the bible as allegorical, and if followed would pull religion out of the dark ages and put them back on the track of science, and that theology is also completely scriptural, since Christians believe that Jesus was the author of the Old Testament and was famous for allegory. If Gary is trying to get Fundies to accept an allegorical interpretation of evolution in the bible, etc... That's actually pretty noble. Or maybe he is just trying to avoid another Scopes Money Trial scenario if unified physics does get accepted by the mainstream so that it does not get held back for a hundred years because of the religious backlash? Because face it, a theory that explains everything will meet strong skepticism from religious folks.

And I recalled that Gary, posing as an anon, had brought up seeing a cross in the video shortly after uploading it to youtube. https://boards.fireden.net/sci/thread/10534146/#10544430

As for covering for the Jews... if your argument is that the Jews control everything then how is that inconsistent with what is posted in that image? Believe what you want, point is America needs to stop being fucking marks who let people steal their money - fucking trillions of dollars - for bullshit that could have been solved by a single line of computer code. Its a fucking fact. The entire middle eastern wars and TSA would have been obsolete by a single line of code that did not allow planes to veer off course without traffic control permission.

Any superstring will do, it doesn't need to be heterotic, it's just that GUTs embed nicely in E8xE8, but by dualities these theories are equivalent to other, (potentially) non-heterotic theories, though these might not be weakly coupled (hence difficult to calculate in).
The more modern models actually use IIB anyway, see: flux compactification. This is needed to stabilise moduli.
