Dear Digital,

You are committing a very common error. You are confusing Mathematical Models for reality. Just because somebody can draw a complicated and imaginary formula on a blackboard does not mean that there is any reality conjoined to it.

It is one of the oldest errors of Philosophy. it goes all the way back to before Plato. They used to think that anything that was 'thinkable' had to have a reality in some higher, more etheric realm. In the Middle Ages Philosophy was finally able to shake off that Error when the Nominalist Philosophers kicked the crap out of the Realists... that is when the Philosophers who maintained that Words and Concepts only 'Named' ideas but did not signify any actual existence, and the "Realists", quite counter-intuitively, were those who felt (they couldn't 'think' anything so silly) that all ideas, concepts, words were based upon Realities -- that to 'Name' something was to identify something that had an actual Substance here or on some Higher Plane of Reality... what the Greeks called the Logos. Anyway, the Nominalists won the argument and for the next several centuries the Philosophers of the World laughed uninterruptedly at the silly Realists who thoutht that their thinking about things made those things 'Real'.

But, then, with Einstein, the laughing stopped and Philosophy became silly again. Perhaps the math became so incomprehensible tht people felt (again it was too silly to 'think') that it must be true. But when you look closely, yes, we are only still just talking about imaginary mathematical models. Nothing that is Really Real.

I have a twin brother who was a musician and he used to almost worship Jazz Musicians. I told him that it was all bullcrap and that they were probably laughing at people for taking them seriously. he almost hated me for saying that. But years later, he was backstage and heard some Jazz Musicians laughing that their audience had applauded after the crap they had just played. he called and apologized to me.

Now, let me tell you... that these mathematicians are pasting together these imaginary models of Nothing and they are laughing at the general public for taking any of it seriously. Study math, go to University, get your Doctorate and then Join the Club, and you will one day send me your own apology when you find your coleagues laughing at the gullibility of the General Public. Laughing at posts such as yours which supposes that String Theory is anything besides an imaginary mathematical construct.
