perhaps the largest 21st century violation of "separation of church and
state" that exists. No one seems to know if the thing can be proven or
disproven at all, its a big argument. This is not science, it is is
religion.
There is vast difference between religion and spirituality or
metaphysics. Religions are based on faith, repetitive actions such as
bowing X amount of times, eating something such as bread, drinking
something such as wine or grape juice, saying a bunch of words, etc. No
offense, and there's nothing wrong those acts in particular, but what
does indeed do the harm is when they demand others follow there actions
to the point of killing and/or causing wars. Spirituality or
metaphysics on the other hand should be about developing the mind and heart.
If M-theory were even 1/10 as negative as you feel then the physics
community has fallen because a great deal of the top physicists around
the world are working on it. It does indeed predict and seems
promising, which is why they are spending so much time and money on it.
Good luck to you,
