I'd like to see what his thoughts are on String Theory.

String theory is a theory based on math rather than physical reality.


And we all know math has absolutely nothing to do with physical reality eh?

Modern physicists tend to understand math but not physics. They develop their
theories in mathematical terms, and explain them in mathematical terms, but
when asked to explain them in physical terms are unable to do so. This makes
them different from their more illustrious predecessors. For these modern
physicists, math has replaced reality, because they don't really understand
reality. They believe that if the math works, that's reality. Unfortunately,
there are infinitely many mathematical models that will work, but they don't
necessarily have anything to do with reality.

You won't be able to find anyone who can explain string theory without using
math. But Einstein could explain physics without math.

Then you should have no problem naming a few who exhibit this problem.

The ones who have the problem are unimportant, as they don't really understand
physics, anyway.

The physicists I know worry about confirming their calculations by
observation. I don't know who MX is referring to.

Pure math research doesn't need anything but internal consistancy, but
every worthwhile scientist is verifying by measurement, and the
measurements are becoming exquisitely accurate.

I wish I could be as predictive in my field as those in the hard
sciences are in theirs.

What's the deal with infinitely dividing the time it takes for a quarter to
hit the floor anyway?

Actually, I might have more insight into that than most in that lab we like
to cal "the last sector"

Haw!

You're on a hot streak, Bertie.

Wrong again. First thing he would have said after talking to you is "You
are one dumb mother****er"


That's math.
