→Completeness and Computability: There is no possibility that string theory will ever be validated
== Completeness and Computability ==

This:
:: There ''will'' be a way (or ways) to falsify it in the future - if the particles predicted/required by the various string theories don't actually show up when we have particle accelerators big enough to generate the energies required for those particles to form. Yes it is not testable now but should be in the future. I don't see why we should disregard something purely because right now we don't have the technology to test it. Are we luddites or can we accept the ''possible'' validity of a theory which ''does'' seem to imply a huge amount of underlying structure in the way the universe is made. I am not saying that we should consider string theory as fact, but do not discount the possibility of it being validated in the future.[[User:Airdish|Airdish]] 16:37, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

::: There are no particles predicted by string theory, and there is no way to falsify string theory no matter how big the accelerators are. There is no possibility that string theory will ever be validated. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 19:22, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
