String Theory Gets Real--Sort Of /article in Science
Peter Woit mentioned this in his blog.
there is a 2-page news article by, I believe, a staff writer Adrian Cho
in the 26 November 2004 issue (pages 1460-1462)
that reports on a conference about research into String Phenomology.
That is, investigating the possibilities for making some predictions
that could serve to test the theory
As Woit observes, string phenomenology is hardly new.
Apparently there'v been a fair number of papers written over the years groping for ways to test, but no clear predictions that will serve so far.
I suppose an arxiv search for keywords "string phenomology" would turn up some of them, but I haven't personally checked.
If anyone has seen this article or gotten stuff from the conference, which was called "Strings and the Real World" and was held at Aspen,
it might be interesting to hear more about it.
I haven't seen the article because I don't have a subscription to Science journal. here is the link to woit's blog that discusses it:
