The significance of non-empirical confirmation in fundamental physics -- The dangers of non-empirical confirmation -- No alternative to proliferation -- Physics without experiments? -- Scientific methodology : a view from early string theory -- What can we learn from analogue experiments? -- Are black holes about information? -- Cosmology and testability. The limits of cosmology -- The role of cosmology in modern physics -- Theory confirmation and multiverses -- Beyond falsifiability : normal science in a multiverse -- Gaining access to the early universe -- Prospects for confirmation in string theory. String theory to the rescue -- Why trust a theory? Some further remarks -- The dangerous irrelevance of string theory -- String/M-theories about our world are testable in the traditional physics way -- Is string phenomenology an oxymoron?
