Smolin (The Life of the Cosmos) believes that physicists are making the mistake of searching for a theory that is “beautiful” and “elegant” instead of one that’s actually backed up by experiments. —Janna Levin, Columbia University, author of How the Universe Got Its Spots, “Reading The Trouble With Physics is like sitting down over a glass of wine with a calm, reasonable person whose knowledge of the field—both inside and outside of string theory—enables him to tell the story, and survey the road ahead, with clarity and grace.” Eμy��Q��5�**I�}w��՛;����_��� �?�8�|����o�R��"2;��V�����K����_��(Ocʳ(�I�Ѫ��3�Z�UVRX���c�zq�3&���up��N�=���B/�9O�Y����OC�(̢(���_b@���[,|������FTR�Dq�R���bgTi��d��'�U��"&���%IB_�{8���8���j/A��7h�Au{z�?ZUX|��ȑJ,[�a�'sls�T x�$\"��̢E/S@W-�y�����>ԺR���T�øq wȲtF؞:�K��MV��%�I�)�ۍ�;�Ќ�Z�_��"¾�^��b-/!O�Ͳg�,�q��8g�q���^�'!��#�y��q��@�h���J�jC�h�k�F��&�O��C|������L�3�X[R a:��0IQ}q0����g嬍,L�\ø�5|icBg�-y��)��lR�JT���Q�U�Y�(ƍ0���Z��r�-&����D�ꓫ˖��~��[��σV�{Z��x�Fd�MW��6M&h�0M�ۆ䟭��,9�(���D�� �[���Μ�IYZ��X���M! In fact, he (and others) argue convincingly, string theory isn’t even a fully formed theory—it’s just a “conjecture.” As Smolin reminds his readers, string theorists haven’t been able to prove any of their exotic ideas, and he says there isn’t much chance that they will in the foreseeable future. %PDF-1.5 %���� —Jaron Lanier, computer scientist and Contributing Editor of Discover, “An uncommonly clear and confident account of the great obstacles—and opportunities—facing physics today.
