    It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. *Cornell University Lecture, 1964*pic.twitter.com/erVFrzMbBa

        There's no experiment that demonstrates that the universe birthed into existence on its own (that is to say from nothing/without an intervention of non-physical kind) Yet many scientists religiously hold the said theory near&dear to their heart. The theory is also un-mathematical

        The experiment can only be so good as our instruments of measurements (our senses) which are imperfect to begin with. Quantum Mechanics shows us that sometimes logic & experiment do not agree with each other. So what does that say about the "truth of the theory" Mr. Feynman?

        ".. which are imperfect to begin with." Only Platonic forms are perfect. What are we to do?

        In search for truth one cannot rely on faulty instruments. You can live your whole life believing a reality which approximates your senses or a reality of pure logic.

        That puts String Theory firmly in the realm of Philosophy and not Science. Thank You

        Bingo! By Kant's criteria, string theory would fall under metaphysics ... and probably bad metaphysics at that.

        Thanks for sharing this, it makes the point clearly. Just one coda — the experiment needs to be well designed and replicated. I know you know this. I just want others to understand.

        Climate science has not produced definitive results, so any claims made on the basis of it are without value. What Feynman aims at is the dispassionate objective nature of science. Climate "science" is a bunch of Left wing people bleating at a bunch of right wing people.

        So what experiments do you propose that would prove or disprove the science definitely?
