Do Physicists Have To Work From Big Cities?

sorry to go off topic but is Grothendieck still alive ?

String theories, M-theories, LQG, etc are attempts to extend the Standard Model in order to unify all four interactions - weak, strong, electromagnetic and gravitational. These interactions are basicallly forces between particles that can themselves be described in terms of carrier particles. So, it is natural that such work be grouped under High Energy/Particle Physics.

But wouldn't cosmologists need to work with String theories and M-theories? Cosmologists work on how the universe works and the M-theory for example can explain what the universe basically is if it is true, this what cosmologists work to do. So wouldn't maybe these fields overlap?

At what SCALE do these two overlap?

Consider this current FACT: cosmology has experimental observations to deal with. String and M-theory have NONE. There are theorists and experimentalists in cosmology. There are only theorists in String and M-Theory.

There are more provable and verified physics that overlap between CONDENSED MATTER physics, particle physics, and cosmology than there are with string and M-theory. So if you're just using "overlapping" criteria to justify the study of a subject matter to get to cosmology, there are more valid avenue to go through than via String/M-Theory to get there.
