In any case Bosonic String Theory isn't even a viable Physical Model.

I have made it clear in the past that I don't accept String Theory as is not falsifiable. My comments relate to how a String Theorist sees the physical significance of renormalization.
What you don't seem to understand is your song and dance routine over a set of numbers that supposedly adds up to -1/12, relates to the mathematics of renormalization, not string theory per se.

You seem to hop from Metaphysics to Physics to Philosophy and back again - which isnt necessarily a negative, but at least inform posters when you do this otherwise the demarcation between solid mainstream Physics (which can be challenged incidentally) and mysticism and metaphysical conjecture becomes shiftingly blurry. Very shiftingly blurry indeed Steven

You have got to be joking.
I made it perfectly clear
in the very first post of the parallels between Science and Philosophy in this topic.
In case you missed it.

A question that spans both science and philosophy is how is how a Big Bang cosmology which has a finite expansion velocity and occurred in a finite time frame (13.8 billion years ago) leads to an infinite Universe.
In other expansion based models such as the Steady State this is not a problem as an infinite Universe is also infinitely old.

Where does the metaphysics and mysticism show up in this thread?
