I love science.

If you happen to drop a plummet of lead on your foot, you know it hurts.

String theory and Quantum Theory are still two different subject fields as far as I am able to see.

Also because right now I do not have in front of me what is really meant or implied by each one of these theories (meaning both).

E=Mc2 supposedly is having an explanation.

You still are not able to define the notion of time from this equation.

The more you delve into a particular subject, the more enigmatic it sometimes becomes and at times the result or conclusion you may able to reach or get to becomes more or less speculative, leading to possible controversies.

Everything we see in nature is there for a purpose in mind.

Sometimes what we are able to see is the physical, possibly not so interesting element or part of it. At other times you may able to observe its corresponding energy and whether or not this is being observed and you possibly may be able do deduce or conclude that such energy is part of or representing a field.

You still may be left out being able to conclude whether or not the possible divine was being part of or behind what was being observed.

Assumedly what may be regarded as being divine soon becomes having a religious meaning instead.

Well, I do think there are more dimensions than we perceive, and parallel universes, and perpendicular ones, too.

I'd like to see Flatland.

I agree, Gordon, that there probably are more. How will we know?
Re: Flatland
Read it in 1977, I think it was. Had a math teacher who entirely missed the societal commentary Abbott was making, and, instead, used the text to put down his female students, as they were described as line segments in a two dimensional world, where the more sides you had, the more important you were in the caste system.

Will have to re-visit that book, and perhaps see the movie.
Thanks for the reminder.
