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?
 
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!
 

Thread 'The "electroweak eta meson"'

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...

Thread 'Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter'

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
