Isn’t string theory likely the fundamental idea that will eventually resolve the quantum enigma?

0

String theory, around for decades now, might eventually mathematically unite quantum mechanics with gravity (general relativity) to produce the so called “theory of everything,” the ToE. We know what the ToE will look like. It will be a set of equations. That’s what string theorists are looking for. But the quantum enigma arises from theory-neutral experiments. Without new experimental findings, findings, the enigma can’t be resolved. String theorists start out assuming quantum mechanics, that there are no such new experimental results. That approach might produce a ToE, but it can’t resolve the quantum enigma.
