Unobservable dimension of existence
“[…String theory…],” Smolin says [… ] can’t be tested, for one thing. And whenever its proponents are confronted with a discovery that doestn’t fit their models, they blame the surprise on an unobservable dimension of existence.” — The WEEK September 29, 2006
In this one new book called The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next this scientist guy, Lee Smolin says that some strings physic guys have a perfect way to avoid pesky questions about what they’re doing.
I think that’s a really great plan.
Female: Why did you spend two thousand dollars of the emergency savings account on electronic gadgetry??!!
Male: Well … I’d have to blame that surprise on an unobservable dimension of existence.
or
Female: What the hell is sticking up out of your pants???
Male: Well … the only cause for that surprise would have to be due to an unobservable dimension of existence.
After all, aren’t females always complaining about how one-dimensional males are? I think they’d be happy to believe that we are searching for our own extra dimensions. Oh sorry. I could’ve made a LOT worse puns than that with all the physics stuff.
