Counterexamples to String Theory

String theory, (or super-string theory when coupled with Supersymmetry), is a class of models in theoretical physics which replace zero-dimensional points (particles) in four-dimensional spacetime with one-dimensional strings in an eleven-dimensional spacetime as the fundamental building block of the universe. The elusive goal is to develop a set of equations that unify all known natural forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, weak, and strong), according to some preconceived philosophical beliefs about how they ought to be unified. Counterexamples to String Theory show that it cannot be a correct method of determining why and how the universe behaves or came about.

1. String theory has never been successfully used to generate a model of the universe resembling our own, with previously observed particles and forces in place.
2. The idea of higher dimensional realms beyond 3 spatial dimensions and one of time has never been proven and is speculative at best
3. String theory cannot be tested due to the scale of the proposed strings
