String Theory Fitting Observations

Theories are evolving, and need time to become complete or abolished by observations. Many theories have been proposed over time that were false or partially false, and scientists with better tools and ideas enhance them, or prove them incorrect. The Theory of Relativity and the Standard Model explain the forces of the small and the large. When put together, the theories contrasted at the atomic level. Both of these theories have been proved by extensive experiments and, when left alone, make sense. The String Theory was proposed after both of these theories, and tied them together. The String Theory was better fit for the theory of the universe because it included gravity and the forces of the small explained in the Standard Model. The only problem is that there are no observations to prove it. From what the String Theory says, it will fit the observations of both theories better than the theories themselves do and fit a wider spectrum of observations. If scientists can find experiments that tie the String Theory to the ideas of both the Standard Model and the Theory of Relativity, the String Theory would be the ultimate example of a theory being able to fit observations better than an original theory and covering more observations than the original theory
