God he looks bad.

I mean I feel bad for him in the sense that his and many others invested so so much in String Theory and now it's fucking nothing.

I'm not a physicist. Is it a consensus within the physics community that string theory is bad, or is this more representative of the department of the university at which you are?

No

There is a lack of actually-existing alternatives to string theory, so unless people suggest shelving BSM physics for awhile, people are going to keep working on string theory.

No.

Who cares what the consensus is? It'll either be verified or falsified or another option to explore that fits the data better will pop up. What Tom, Dick, and Harry think about it doesn't change any of these possibilities.

I liked him until he became obsessed with The Big Bang Theory self insertion, the climate change denying, and the too frequent use of the word "crackpot". I mean, come on, use another fucking word.
