I need to write a diary about this. Colman has already asked me before why I don't like string theory, and since I almost did my Ph.D. with Smolin I wuppose I can give a little inside view of this <wink>.

I wait for it.. really...

I am not a fan in the sense that I do not think it really has any "experimental" approach. They seem to try and try to find soemetting that they can test... with no success. The reason why I do no think string theory is a disgrace (as other fiels in science) it is because they do not lie anybody, they do not pretend to be what they are not.

A different issue is whether it prevented other ideas to flourish. I doubt it was for any particular "cabal" as it happens in other areas but just because the mindset is stablished for the beginning.

So I really wait your take.

From a humble non-string far-away theorists.

A pleasure

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

If I told you online I'd have to kill myself ;-)
