Here's my theory: When some people saw that physics could be used to get great power, they decided to keep physics research a secret, in the hands of the few. So, they have been using governments and spies to keep it away from the masses (and hence adversaries). I believe string theory is a result of this.

I think String theory was a way to extort funding based on ignorance or snake oil tactics based on nebulous claims.

There is a growing number of physicists exposing them.

i think you forgot the /s thingy somewhere.

Unfortunately not and it's worse than you think because with "some people", "they", and "the few" they means Jews. You can look at the post history for the pattern, after which this is pretty obvious. I already emailed about this some time ago but antisemitism is completely fine if you use thinly veiled euphemisms and don't directly insult people, apparently.

if you are actually serious, all i can say is ‘yikes !’
