>The possible existence of, say, 10^500 consistent different vacuum states for superstring theory probably destroys the hope of using the theory to predict anything.
>If one picks among this large set just those states whose properties agree with present experimental observations, it is likely there still will be such a large number of these that one can get just about whatever value one wants for the results of any new observation.
Scientifically speaking, what does it feel to mentally masturbate for 60 years to a theory that has no real use cases and makes non testable predictions?
