Speaking of "String Theory" and its 10^500 cat's cradles, one cannot
help but think of the great Maxwell's comment:

“I have no reason to believe that the human intellect is able to weave
a system of physics out of its own resources without experimental
labour. Whenever the attempt has been made it has resulted in an
unnatural and self-contradictory mass of rubbish.”
James Clerk Maxwell

Amen, brother!
