Fnly, they killed String Theory!

The String Theory or any other multi-dimension esoteric is totally disproven in 2018:
[1801.08160] Limits on the number of spacetime dimensions from GW170817

No? At least they have ruled out the esoteric terms: "let us enter parallel dimensions", "Big Foot is coming out parallel dimension."

Not according to the researchers: "We’re not in any way ruling out string theory,” Spergel says.

Is that good news or bad news for you?

Good News. We are discovering deep secrets so quickly these days!

Ok! I always had issues with God creating "parallel universes" where His creation had multiple options concurrently to live. That just never jived with what I read in God's Word, nor did I find a scintilla of thought about it there. Not that God couldn't do this. And while I have often been caught in what I personally call "a vortex in time-space" it never felt like a parallel universe (though I have had missteps that I blamed on them! lol)

Limiting the number of space-time dimensions in another aspect doesn't seem God-like to me. GOD is limitless; the more scientists research the more they prove the things of God... and how vast His creation truly is!

Maybe they haven't heard that "the science is settled"

What are the dimensions? They are the coordinates, which are sufficient to describe position of a point-particle. The 11 dimensions of String Theory are 11 numbers: (x,y,z, q,w,e, d,f,g, g,h), despite the smallness of the additional dimensions (q,w,e, d,f,g, g,h). The parallel universes are not parallel dimensions. These universes have only three coordinates: (x,y,z).

Yes I was differentiating parallel universes and dimensions.

LOL. My sentiments exactly. When you get into areas of quantum physics and relativity that give birth to things like the string theory, there are some things that scientists probably know. But in my opinion, the scientists know about .1% of all there is to know. That means that they have yet to discover or figure out the 99.9% that they don't yet know.

I like to think we have an eternity to learn and know many things that we don't know now. Maybe that aren't important to know now. And while I think there is no knowledge that is not worth knowing, I just can't imagine that whether the string theory is right or not will affect the quality of my life in any way at this time.

String theories never die. They just become more tangled.

I wonder what they will do when they discover the interface between energy and spirit (I predict the mass suicide of scientists. )

Good. It's a goofy theory.

Sanoy · Feb 5, 2018

Is it dead, mostly dead, or awaiting an ad hoc* explanation to keep it alive? What's Michio Kaku saying about it?

Also, what's this about bigfoot?

(* Not saying that in the negative sense)

Only those who have staked their reputations on their scientific opinion that God and/or intelligent design does not exist. Of course any who would say that are not scientific at all so oh well.

It's not dead in the slightest. This result seems to say nothing at all about string theory.

What the heck is GW170817?

The last time I checked it was the Parlophone company album code for the Beatles' second LP, but that may have been in a parallel dimension. It's so difficult to remember where I am these days.

It was a gravitational wave signal observed on 17th August 2017 - see GW170817 - Wikipedia .

Fnly, they killed String Theory!
