Because we cannot have General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics co-exist together, we have now come up with the new String Theory. It is that everything is made up of small membranes (strings). They are like violin or Cello strings, each vibration makes a different sound or note, so for string theory, each vibration makes different 'things'. But because these 'strings' are so small, we cannot actually see them in any way, so how can we prove that the String Theory is correct (by the way if we find out that this string theory IS correct, than, we have found the UNFIED THEORY). But because we cannot do any real tests on it because it is so small, we can't actually prove it, therefore a lot of people are saying that it is not science, it is actually philosophy. I was curious on your thoughts on the matter.
P.S: On Youtube their is a great series called "The Elegant Universe" that explains all this.
Thankyou
Sebastien.
