It is just not in a field of science you see as relevant. But it is enough for him to earn a doctorate on.


Edit:I can understand if you don't find theoretical physics relevant, but atomic behavior was theoretical at one point too. (Just look at our shiny bombs now!)
String theory has yet to produce an experimentally verifiable prediction. It also has yet to properly unify quantum mechanics and general relativity.

So it's not experimentally verifiable, and it doesn't answer all of the questions... We have a term for that, it's called 'faith.'

I often wonder when the scientific world will ever catch up. Nice to see they are still 100 years behind!

Anyhow it is a pity if relativity hasn't fallen, as it is the only way science progresses.
