I initially saw all these maths in books about string theory and was scammed that these people are so clever and found something that it is hard for me to grasp.

I did my MSc and diploma work in pure mathematics inspired by this. then I saw the light and did my PhD in electrical engineering because I felt I was getting a rabbit hole that did not worth it and could ruin my life financially.

Still was convinced that with money and time there was something there. Thanks to all these people that eventually uncovered the scam and gave evidence to see that string theory is indeed a conspiracy theory.

Here's my theory: When some people saw that physics could be used to get great power, they decided to keep physics research a secret, in the hands of the few. So, they have been using governments and spies to keep it away from the masses (and hence adversaries). I believe string theory is a result of this.
