The problem is that string theory on its own has taken the last 40years to PROVE it doesn’t work as a stand alone path by gobbling up mind share, students, resources and (to be fair) most of the most brilliant brains. So much that no one dares say the full extent of the disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is where I respectfully disagree with my colleague @skdh. You can’t ‘get rid of string theory’. String-like objects are natural and have an unbelievably rich and beautiful interlocking mathematics. The beguiling beauty isn’t the problem in my opinion. Beauty is the excuse. — PolitiTweet.org

During that time String Theory diverted the entire field into a magical never-land of “toy physics”. Models that aren’t in any way real. You know have “particle physicists” at the end of their careers who have never worked with anything like a particle and can’t remember the SM. — PolitiTweet.org
