alt Hacker News> magical thinking and pseudo babble, it hardly fits on HN
Don't ask Newton about the pseudo babble stuff. Nor the string "theorists". In fact, don't ask any of the "theoretical" physicists (an oxymoron by definition, which seems to be lost on almost all of them) about "magical thinking and pseudo babble".
Those are conjectures. Even the most diehard proponents are seeking verifiable proofs, not simply stating, "Well, like, that's just your opinion, man...".
Scientific hypotheses and religious/metaphysical articles of faith are orthogonal ideas.
