I don't trust string theory and neither should you

Now, let me preface my further comments by admitting that the mathematics involved are well beyond my education, and perhaps even outside my aptitude, and that the relevant human principals are by empirical observation entirely worthy of the type of respect we so unduly grant to, say, obviously stupid brain surgeons.

But when asked to consider the workings of this and other possible universes, should we not insist on total empiricism over the multiple dimensions they propose? Now, I'm not suggesting that we must sensorily experience every natural phenomenon in order to concede its existence; for example, it's easy to accept the actuality of electromagnetic waves above and below the visual light spectrum because we know from experience that our senses are physically limited.

But are those eleven string theory dimensions the same sort of proposition as waves and particles we can't see or we've yet to detect? I don't think so. The problem is that, despite claims to the contrary by those physicists and mathematicians, we CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND THEM.

The spatial dimensions (i.e. height, width, depth, time) are easy enough to grasp and experience, and position with the universe might also be considered and comprehended as a fifth. But it seems to me that anything beyond those are merely abstract mathematical constructions, invented for the sake of a descriptive formula. They no more exist, by my understanding and skepticism, than two. Yes, the NUMBER two exists, and two of many things definitely exist, but two, itself, does not. It is mere abstract description.
