Introduction

We report here on some recent developments in "The Theory Formerly Known As String Theory", which we will denote by the symbol . The most recent of these is that there doesn't seem to be any more string theory in it: No quantum calculations, no conformal field theory [1], no massive states [2], etc.

We use Bjorken And Drell (BAD) conventions and reverse Polish notation. Solar neutrino flux, as measured at Super KaramelKandy [3], is given in SNU*.

*What's SNU? Not much; what's SNU with you?


Unification

The most important discovery in string theories is the revelation that they are all the same [4]:


D=11 batgravity

This has been termed the "Götterdämmerung" of string theory, since appearance of the extra dimension and membranes [5] has resulted in the loss of predictability and renormalizability, which were the only reasons for string theory unification in the first place.

This is your brain. This is your brain on branes.
Any questions?

Calculations


Bhabha scattering causes Lamb shift

This 4-point amplitude has the remarkable feature that the s, t, and u quarks [6], which appear in the s, t, and u channels, represent S, T, and U duality [7], with respect to the proper time s, time t, and worldline length u, respectively. Since it is conformal, it can be derived from M(aldacena) theory [8-9] in the limit 0 -> hbar (but only in the large colon approximation), where singletons become princetons [10]. Then it is calculated on ADS (Amplitude Deficiency Syndrome) space. In that approximation we only have Weylation of violin variance for a little Weyl. The high-energy limit can also be taken by use of the Curt-Kurt equation. Here we have used the Bored transform:
B(z) = a + bz + czzzz....

These results can be compared favorably with those from the recent g/2-1 experiment (which is twice as accurate as previous g-2 experiments), where g is the well-known "Ridyard coupling", which appears in as one of the moduli oblongati. We have used soft explicit supersymmetry breaking to avoid producing a Goldstino [11]. This term is added to the usual Higgs potential:

Unsolved problems

  1. If dark matter fell into a black hole, would anybody notice?
  2. How bright is a neutrino star?

Appendix

Stages of theory development:

  1. No examples: Theory is useless.
  2. One example: Theory is unique!
  3. Two examples: Theory reveals new "duality".
  4. Many examples: Theory can be fit to experiment.
  5. Infinity of examples: Theory is useless.

Lost Feynman rules:

  1. Don't run with scissors.
  2. "i" before "e", except after "c", ...
  3. Don't let the sun catch you crying.
  4. Never leave your campfire burning in the Sahara Forest.
  5. When in doubt, um, ...
