Are we alone in the universe

Dear divlocks, String theory not a prejudice and it certainly is not a bible or a veda reading group in a local library. There are excellent reasons why reasonable people with expertise in the field like string theory. Any other approach to quantize gravity has faced problems of what is known as renormalization. There are few people doing different things in order to understand this very important problem. There are things called twistors and the emerging field called LQG which has its own problems. The low energy limit of string theory is the theory of gravity, which is given quite naturally by the theory. However, there is a simple rule that all physical theories must satisfy which is that it should be consistent with observations. Most reasonable people would not pursue a theory after finding sensible evidence that theory is not right. The thing that bothers me immensely is people like yourself making such extraordinary statements without even having an elementary knowledge of how fundamental science works. In order to make such an statement, you need to know what you are talking about. Science is not about consensus in an internet where you decide some guy should be the next pop starfor reasons that he speaks the same language as you do. Its about understanding the logical structure of the the universe.The only reason I am commenting is I don’t want a bright thirteen year old who could well have a great future be misled by people like yourself. Unless you discuss anything technical, I am not interested in your juvenile comments. PaulMaurice
