Who here knows string theory?

>> No.4511368

>implying anyone knows string theory

>> No.4511372

Even the guys that came up with string theory don't know string theory.

>> No.4511373

How can string be a theory?

What a bunch of joke.

>> No.4511378

You guys are dum, string theory is easy. I learned it in seconds.

How can you believe in string if it is just a theory (a geuss)?

>> No.4511392

String theory in a nutshell:

"Guys, I'm sick of physicists coming up with theories to explain the universe. We arrogant mathematicians need some attention because our field of study is constantly overlooked for fields more important to human knowledge. The theory will be so complex nobody can explain it, and most importantly, it will be impossible to verify experimentally, so we mathematicians can be famous until the end of time for trolling popular science. We shall call it string theory."

And string theory was born. True story.

"Not even wrong" is a derogatory phrase used when referring to hypotheses that cannot be tested. In fact it was started by a theoretical physicist. How's Khan Academy working out for you?

>> No.4511423

>>4511418

"not even right" is a derogatory phrase that describes undergrads who have never done anything scientific in their lives other than a 7th grade science project, and who's closest approach to science was a science fiction work, typically Star Wars or Star Trek

>> No.4511429

there is perhaps one or two people who post on /sci/ regularly that understand, or have the background required to understand, the math behind it

Not bad, troll.

But just in case you are not a troll, I suggest you read this:
