|content=P.S. “It hasn’t even failed” because it can’t fail. So far as I can see, it can never fail. In the minds of the faithful, It’s unable to fail because it *has* to be the way forward. It’s hard to explain what’s wrong with that to the enlightened who see its infinite power & glory.

|content=A) High energy physics of real particles became the no-energy physics of toy models.
B) Quantizing Gravity was substituted for unification or extension of the Standard model.
C) Other research programs were obliterated because ST claimed it had it all rapped up.
D) Hype won.

|content=E) Focus shifted to mathematical structure of abstract field/String/M theory. Not our particular world’s choice of thy.
F) Standards of scientific progress were rewritten to disguise failure.
G) Differential application of standards became the norm.
It ended physics culture

|content=String Theory isn’t the problem. String culture is poisonous to science.


String theory, like love, means never having to say your sorry. Or mistaken.
It’s the January 6 problem
but in science. But where the physics versions of Mike Pence often got fired for not going along. 🙏

It is, by now, too big to fail. It is not even the elephant in the room. It’s the blue whale in physics’ linen closet.

The abuse of Beauty in String Theory and Quantum Gravity more generally is valid as a target.  
The abuse of Beauty in [[String Theory]] and [[Quantum Gravity]] more generally is valid as a target.  


Critiquing the use of beauty, by contrast is a suicide mission. And I don’t want to see you on it. As a friend.

|content=Either way, it’s a big deal. Everything changed in the early 70s. It’s impossible to say how much. The moment the Mansfield amendment came in, physics began to stagnate. And “Quantum Gravity” destroyed our culture of science. We don’t even whisper about its “Anti-Gravity” origin.
