Comment Comment by planck01 Some issues that string theory has:- We have not found any evidence for it.- Some predictions have been made from it that weren't found (e.g. no supersymmetric particles in the LHC).- It can be tuned to fit almost fit any universe and any observation, which doesn't really make it scientific.- The reasons for inventing it might have been misguided or flawed. (universe must be beautiful / simple / etc).The lack of results are turning a growing part of the scientific community off, while there is still a core amount of scientists holding on to it. parent planck01 3 years ago
- We have not found any evidence for it.

The lack of results are turning a growing part of the scientific community off, while there is still a core amount of scientists holding on to it.
