Ok yeah I knew that quantum stuff, Newtonian stuff, and relativistic stuff don't work with each other, but hadn't had an update in a while cuz I'm a humanities guy.
These look like great sources, thanks.
Is string theory still a thing?
Yea its still a thing, but the problem with string theory for science, and the guy in the second video does a good job explaining this specifically, is, that its complex math that kind of works to leave the door open for GR to still be relevant. I kind of lost interest in trying to wrap my head around string theory when I watched an interview with Michio Kaku admitting that its not possible to even conceive an experiment that could detect the strings. Its complex math they came up with to make GR still kind of work. The reason science doesnt accept UFOs or ghosts exist is because its not possible to preform experiments on the phenomena. For some reason GR is the only thing in science that gets a pass on this. Its not bad people are passionate about it, but the entire community going all in on that kind of thing to prop GR up has stalled astrophysics from coming up with anything new for decades.
