      I’m fairly certain it’s a meme. Pretty sure I saw this exact thing with a Hawk Tua as the person being quoted.

      Edit: A meme on the science meme community? For reals?

    not with current technology.

    but as it sometimes happens, we might find a way a couple hundred years from now, who knows. maybe even a practical use of the knowledge.

    maybe string theory was flawed all along and we come to understand the universe a whole another way.

    Btw, does string theory consider zero point energy? I get the impression that both, quantum mechanics and string theory, just ignore that phenomenom.

      Special Relativity was the theory to explain the results of the Michelson Morley Experiment from 20 years earlier that everyone else ignored because it made them uncomfortable and didn’t want to do the math.
