"Sheldon Glashow ... He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1959, and went on to win the Nobel Prize for his work on unification of the fundamental forces of nature. He is a skeptic of string theory due to its lack of experimental support, going so far as to resign from the faculty at Harvard University in 2000 due to the physics department's focus on string theory research."

"Ed is unique -- the kind of person who comes along once a century." -- John Schwarz, concerning Edward Witten
Is string theory with the infinite nature hypothesis philosophically wrong but empirically irrefutable? Does string theory with the finite nature hypothesis lead to success in explaining dark matter? Is infinity beyond measurement and therefore not really part of empirical science? Is measurement a natural process that separates the boundary of the multiverse from the interior of the multiverse?
How can string theory explain dark matter? If the Heisenberg uncertainty principle needs to be replaced by a new uncertainty principle involving both hbar and alpha-prime, then I make 2 guesses: the 1st guess is that MOND-chameleon particles exist; the 2nd guess is that there is a quantum theory of gravity in which MOND-chameleon articles have pole masses in general relativity theory and running masses in quantum gravitational theory -- the running masses would depend on the nearby gravitational acceleration for the MOND-chameleon particles. However, I conjecture that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle fails only when the concept of measurement fails. Consider 3 conjectures: (1) Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" is one of the greatest books ever written. (2) There are 6 basic quarks because there are 6 pariah groups. (3) The monster group and the 6 pariah groups describe how quark tracking develops from Fredkin-Wolfram information below the Planck scale. What might be the physical meaning of the monster group? The order of the monster group is:
2^46 * 3^20 * 5^9 * 7^6 * 11^2 * 13^3 * 17 * 19 * 23 * 29 * 31 * 41 * 47 * 59 * 71

Does 11^2 represent a storage area for information associated with Witten's 11-dimensional model? Does 7^6 represent 6 basic quarks each with 3 dimensions of linear momentum, 3 dimensions of angular momentum, and 1 dimension of quantum spin? Do the prime numbers 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 41, 47, 59, and 71 represent 9 spatial dimensions in the superstring model with 9 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time? If a prime p divides the order of the monster group, then does nature contain a profound symmetry involving p and Fredkin-Wolfram information below the Planck scale? Does Wolfram's cosmological automaton use the monster group and the 6 pariah groups to distribute Fredkin-Wolfram information yielding an approximation to quantum information? Does string theory with the infinite nature hypothesis provide a mathematically awkward explanation of MOND and the space roar?
"... What insights are to be gained from category-theoretic, informational, geometric and operational approaches to formulating quantum theory? ... How do different concepts of probability contribute to interpreting quantum theory?"

Does nature require probability theory with the infinite nature hypothesis? Is there a unique mathematical method for unifying mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer science? Are Milgrom's MOND, the Koide formula, and Lestone's theory of virtual cross sections essential for understanding the foundations of physics?
