One of my problems with science is that it's become encumbered with a lot of metaphysical baggage now... Instead of "here be dragons" we now have "here be superstrings" written on the maps, and with no way whatsoever to prove or disprove it apart from a mathematical model that has lots of magic numbers inserted in it and an infinite number of possible solutions, we're back to faith again...

The trouble is that our theories have now transcended our comprehension. For example, it is utterly impossible for a human being to visualise four dimensional spacetime, but we know it exists because of observations made on the speed of light...
