Is empirical testing of string theory possible?

Conference at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich

String theory considers particles as energy vibrations, occurring within compact-dimensions, so small that empirical testing is a technical impossibility. Since the experimental testing of ideas is regarded as an essential requirement in science, string theory, the elegant and promising concept in theoretical physics, remains highly philosophical. Its wildly speculative nature is reminiscent of pseudoscience. Nevertheless, string theory's proponents are entirely convinced by its beauty or logically compelling quality. Einstein probably would approve of such a mathematically elegant approach. As he said in 1933, “I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.” However, such speculative ideas can quickly spiral out of control into truly bizarre notions, such as the possibility of multiverses, or wormhole travel.

A hypothesis detailed the book, The Science of Consciousness, considers the mind similar to material fermions. All aspects of elementary particles thus play out in the mental complexity formed by the neuronal connections of a biological system. Some of these phenomena include the Pauli exclusion principle, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, emotional fluorescence, emotional hysteresis, and emotional fever. 

Several aspects of our physiology, such as semantics, obeys the laws of quantum mechanics. For example, in quantum entanglement, observation on one part of the system instantaneously affects the state in another section, even if they are separated by space-like distances. In emotional fermions, the same phenomenon transpires over time. Entanglement means a shared wave function, which cannot be decomposed as separate subsystems. For example, in word association experiments, entanglement activates associative target words simultaneously, and the semantics of concept combinations can be modeled by quantum theory. The contextual nature of cognition leads to unintuitive word associations (analog to ‘spooky action at a distance’) or resistance to ambiguous situations (such as the Necker cube). If the string theory characteristics were correct for the mind, then string theory could be easily tested.

The new physical worldview, based on physics principles, is detailed in the book 'The Science of Consciousness.' Find your copy on  Amazon.

The above hypothesis is supported by the 2017 article, Origin of Neural Firing and Synthesis in Making Comparisons.
