− | When a new theory is thought up, the theorists will usually supply some predictions, measurable by experimental physicists. | + | When a new theory is thought up, the theorists will usually supply some predictions, measurable by experimental physicists. But in fact this theory still does not have any prove. |
− | [[Randall]] is unimpressed with string theorists | + | [[Randall]] is unimpressed with string theorists. The string theory did not provide any ''useful'' new knowledge to engineering science as the quantum physics has, and lacks the imagination-stirring philosophical implications, that the general population associates with other fields — for example, quantum scientists have many proved predictions like the tunnel effect, used by modern electronic devices, and relativity is relevant to modern systems like {{w|GPS}} navigation, but string theory hasn't reached that stage yet. |
− | + | At the title text Randall resumes, you can claim anything, and you always get people following you. | |
