I think Igor was talking about Sarfatti's ramblings. ;-) But indeed, neither ST nor Sarfatti have *testable* predictions yet. Hmm... I would think that if you have a basic entity (like superstrings) making everything, that their interactional geometry should produce the Standard Model every time. This is what our Quantum Vacuum Charge scenario is based on and we make some testable predictions.

Does "testable" mean testable in principle? Is the lack of testablility untestablity in principle or does it mean we currently lack the means to test the theory and we might acquire them someday?
