Folks:

Can anyone suggest any active physics research fields which do not
depend much on experiments ?

Please do not say theoretical physics, because majority of theoretical
physics still heavily depends on experiment data (such as high energy
physics or condensed matter theory ). Please also do not say
mathematical physics, which is almost a branch of math.

I understand that physics is based on experimental data, I just want
to find a field which is loosely coupled with experimental data.

AFAIK, string theory, cosmology, and general relativity (in that order)

the general areas of active research most loosely coupled to experiment.
May I suggest you try pure mathematics, however, if you really want to
avoid experiments.

It was not allowed into SPR because it was a retarded post crafted by
a moron.

If you don't like SPR's policies, tough *****. Start your own
newsgroup! It worked for [Hammond].
