Whoa whoa whoa.
The Theory of Relativity is one the most well-tested theories in physics. I have never heard of the theory failing ONE test that it has come up against. Who knows, maybe Gravity Probe B will find something that will pose a problem for relativity, but chances are slim.
You're taking me out of context here. I said this in reply to this quote from 1.61803. I said that
if he maintained this (namely that Relativity is not tested), then the following statement. Furhtermore, 1.61803 explained how I misunderstood what he was trying to say and we later agreed that Einstein's theory was proven.
String "Theory" is not much more than math right now.
For the very brief period before the first experiment that tested relativity, that's all relatvity was, math and gedanken experiments.
So, is math a science? Well, the study of math can be done scientifically, but a mere equation or set of equations is not "science."
I think that mathematical theories are called theories when they are mathematically consistent, etc, not really when they've been tested physically. When that does happen it can be a physical theory.
But really they need to stop calling it String Theory for the time being and call it what it is, The String Model.
But the real question is, is it even possible for the String Model to become science?
