I don't think I understand your post, but here it goes:
Are you trying to justify string theory being unfalsifiable ?
Because I mean, if that is the case, then the issue is settled. I haven't taken a stance on string-theory as of right now, but from what I see there are some problems with the debate in itself. Because proponents of it keep saying how awesome it is etc. and keep making doubters look stupid, and objectors even more stupid. (primarily saying ''you oppose it because you don't understand it'' implying therefore every single objector doesn't understand it,)
I never proposed abandoning research on a philosophical basis (as you seem to by applying this stance on me, one that I never took), but what I don't understand is, if truly it is unfalsifiable, then why do M-Theory proponents act this way ? Doesn't it's unfalsifiability provide a legitimate reason to doubt it ?
If M-theory has something to do with it, great. If it doesn't, great.
Here you seem to imply that it is falsifiable, making all my previous comment unecessary.
Because I mean, you were trying to defend that it can adapt to anything, stating that this was the case because it can produce an infinitue of possible realities, which was expected because of the previous belief in some sort of a multiverse. Then this last sentence does becomes a contradiction, since if it can adapt to anything, then you will never be able to know if it is part of the nature of reality.
And of course, you may consciously don't give a shit about reality, but I can say that incounsciously you value it. Because if I ask you: Why do you think it is necessary to understand the nature of reality ? You will recognize it as an important question, but will answer it on philosophical grounds (because it is a philosophical question)
Same thing if I ask you why mathematics is only based on logical deductions of a set of axioms and not experimentation, or why I cannot posit a supernatural explanation for a natural phenomenon, etc. etc.
All very important questions, all philosophical. All will be answered with a philosophical answer. The modern scientist has lost this notion mainly because of the seperation of domains in our culture.
