There has been only one,so you're in error when you use the term in the plural. |
Dark Matter and String Theory. We're back to plural.

I didn't even think string theory was still a thing.

The new contender is Quantum Gravity Theory

Good.
String theory already went down as a great sham?

String Theory isn't falsifiable.
The thing I like about Quantum Gravity is that aspects of it comport well with Fuller's Synergetics.

It doesn't have the word quantum in it, so has to go.
I really do prefer my physics to have quanta. |

....and Gravity?
String Theory produced no testable hypotheses. Quantum Gravity suggests undiscovered particles or fields.

You said it could be implimented with the stroke of a pen. How so? Suddenly dictate all shopping malls to close and cars to be banned? Who would enforce this? And to what extreme?
