But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future.

Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.
BRIAN GREENE

Long Respectable Theory
Every moment is as real as every other. Every ‘now,’ when you say, ‘This is the real moment,’ is as real as every other ‘now’ – and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

The real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That’s what it all comes down to.

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.

Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

Confusion Process Understanding
The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.

When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline’s mass into energy, in accord with Einstein’s formula.

You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.

I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
