I never seriously studied physics. A few years back I decided that it was time to push myself a little and start reading up. I started with some articles on string theory and suddenly remembered why I didn't want to study physics.

Looks like I saved twice as much time as I thought I had.

String theory is barely a scientific theory, it's an untestable (experimentally) mathematical framework.

I'm far from an expert on this, but I don't think this is the best introduction to physics.

If strings are just a theory then how do you explain shoelaces? 😏

There are many kinds of 'string.'

For example, you just made a second string joke.

What are you gonna do, string me up for it?

We really should have more stringent requirements for joke quality here.

We would do that of you didn‘t keep stringing me along!
