The fact that there's a highway to hell and only a stairway to heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers.

The problem is though, what makes the strings have specific configurations? There would have to be a simpler framework underneath all that.

I find it interesting it's called String Theory when they still don't know what fuck it is.String Hypothesis yeah, but...

Simple is not always true.Because I wouldn't consider these strings to being intrinsic if they hold specific configurations aka matter, as opposed to just one or an infinite broadband without explanation. Any result to explain this would have to imply a simpler framework dictating their specific behaviour, and the answer 'they just are' doesn't convince me.

Only if it's an axiom.
