"Brian looked a little hurt by his question at <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98HZanvAJ8Y&amp;t=28m32s"">28:32</a>",(reply>), @Alexander Abrashev <br>Many scientist have criticized these string theorist so this is nothing new. Major criticisms of string theory has to with the theorists. They have formed something of a cult of string theorists, who have bonded together to promote string theory above all alternatives. String theorists have spent more than three decades building a community of physicists who firmly believe that they are performing the most important science on the planet, even while achieving not a single bit of evidence to definitively support their version of science as the right one.,(reply>), @Sassa His job is precisely working on the mathematical underpinnings of theories that can, sometime in the future, be tested. Also, the word cultist has no relevance here. Do you not know what it means or did you just try to seem edgy?,(reply>), @Sassa well in fairness, he’s a theoretical physicist, not an experimental one.,(reply>), Well Brian is a string theory cultist. It hurts when you understand that you have spent 30 years advocating for a theory, making documenatries etc without any scientific proof.
