That's a true enough statement however, this thread pertains to string theory, and since string theory is hailed as a possible TOE, then I personally feel Steven's statement holds true, simply because a true TOE, MUST encompass ALL phenomena of nature, not just the ones we conveniently pick and choose. I stipluate this exact point very clearly in my book; we must address ALL phenomena if we are to observe and quantify all of nature.
I feel the definitions and demarcations of what constitutes science and what constitutes philosophy is a manifestation of yet another typically flawed facet of the human mind.
