Doesnt point number 37 hint at string theory by what the likes of smolin and woit says?

And btw, I am no expert in this and I announce that all i have read is a few "layman" books and have no heck of idea what string theory actually is and my voice is utterly insignificant..
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I posted here in case people took it seriously and started flaming all over again and I don't want to be the initiator of it lol. Ok, since Gokul agrees, this should be moved then.. how do i move it btw?
 
I'm not moving it, but one of the men in green has to do so. 'Tis beyond your ken.
 
nah, i am going to go there and post myself already..

I wouldn't advise it. The index is meant as a joke. Unless you have anything of any actual value to discuss, drop it.
