The probability of string theory being accurate, from string theorist Jim Gates view, is far lower than what has been posted on this board. Gates has the math for a string theory that does not require extra dimensions at all.

According to Gates, if supersymmetric particles are not realized by the LHC, string theory is falsified. If the lightest supersymmetric particle ( the LSP and which all the other, heavier supersymmetric particles are calculated to have decayed into and given us dark matter) turns out to be a squark, then it will be over 300 years before the technology will be advanced enought to possibly falsifiy string theory, provided technology continues to advance at the present rate.

24 months ago two Princeton physicists published a paper claiming that they had the math to describe the behavior of quarks at room temperature, whether those quarks are in rocks or flowers at sunrise or anything else. The science community has been waiting for some follow up and nothing has come.

If string theory cannot be falsified even 300 years from now, I still hold very heavy doubts that any mBHs will be formed in the LHC. The solar wind has far greater energy collisions than the LHC and should have far higher probabilities to create billions of mBHs if the LHC has the capability of producing one. That same solar wind has been bashing up against our magnetosphere and atmosphere for 4 billion years+. And now some of you think that you are in danger? We should have been eaten up long ago.

After the first wood and stone cart was invented thousands of years ago, I am sure that some trough-like slope was an experimental ground where some wishful thinking soul thought that he could reach the moon if enough people gave it a real big push. After all, all his other primitive calculations were accurate, weren't they? All those other rocks and boulders couldn't make it cuz they didn't have enough zip. Look at all those meteor showers that gave them the false impression that someone some place else did give it the extra oompf required.
