Argument Ideas on String Theory: Explore Now

[shipreckdpenguin]

I have to write an argument paper on string theory and i was wondering if anyone has any good ideas about what to argue... I could always go for the whole "Is this the holy grail of science" theory, but i would like something a little more indepth and not so broad... any ideas?

An argument for or against string theory?

 

[shipreckdpenguin]

either or... I basically need a question which has a strong argument in the physics world today. For example if my paper were on evolution i might choose the subtopic of Intelligent Design and argue whether or not it should be tought in school. My Topic is physics and my sub category is String theory, but I am not sure i can find a really good question to argue about it.

What's the audience?

possibly that it might unify everything, so it should be taught i guess, ur asking it kinda weird.

How about Susskind's Anthropic approach to the string vacuum landscape? That can be motivated for non-specialists and it's certainly contentious!
