| To be rather blunt, and not to mirror Juan's sentiments too nearly, I think that string theory is pure rubbish. Mainly it suffers from having no intuitive basis. What was the intuitive insight that caused someone to come up with string theory? To me it just seems like they pulled it out of thin air. Also, string theorists don't exhibit much discipline the way they ad hoc manufacture all these new dimensions as it suits them. As string theory has been touted, logic has been forgone.
hey Guille, can we make this thread into an anonymous poll? I'm really interested in seeing a graph that shows the demographics of peoples opinion regarding string theory. In addition, you never stated your own opinion about string theory. What is it? |
