Hey, do you speak using a speech synthesizer and have to be fed through a feeding tube? No? Ok, then stop yammering about string theory like you have the first clue what you're talking about.

Topics not do discuss with Diesel:
Theoretical Physics, check
Edward Witten, Joseph Polchinski, and Juan Maldacena are very hurt by your attitude.
How about String Cheese Theory? Can we talk about that?
Gregory - Don't get me wrong, I know virtually nothing about string theory. And yet, you wouldn't know that because I don't insist on demonstrating my ignorance at every opportunity. Clever, eh?
Logophile - Who?
Robin - Absolutely.
Wow...SOMEBODY got up on the wrong side of the quark this morning.
Hear Hear! at the moment i have all i can do to figure out the "Stringing up Christmas Lights Theory" to be bothered by anyone wanting to discuss something i've only heard about on NPR.
Those would be people who actually work in the field of string theory.
I am allowed to mention them even though I don't have a feeding tube, right?
Hmmm ... I hope this wasn't me! I think I posted here about string theory a couple weeks ago after you left the great joke on my blog (about schrodinger's cat - which I actually received compliments from 2 real string theorists who found my site via 3quarksdaily).
I actually do (or used to) know a decent amount about string theory (I studied under Brian Greene while he was at Cornell, until I dropped physics for Hotel Administration ... much more my style), so hopefully I didn't offend!
I thought the guy in the wheelchair with the speech synthesizer was an Einsteinian Relativist?
Or, did I dream that?
Oooooh. Ooooooh. Count me in on the String Cheese Theory. I love the String Cheese Theory -- especially if it's accompanied by the Red Wine Conspiracy and the Law of Freshly Baked French Bread.
i shall stop this instant.
So noted.
Are you feeling a little insecure because you started a conversation with someone smarter than yourself and forgot you had loaned me your copy of "How the Universe Got Its Spots" (aka "Theoretical Physics for Dumbasses")? I'm not done reading it, but I'm happy to send it back if you need it.
