Comments on: Slashdot | String Theory a Disaster for Physics? http://www.daniel-lemire.com/blog/archives/2006/06/23/slashdot-string-theory-a-disaster-for-physics/ Daniel Lemire's blog is about life in academia, research in Computer Science, wondering how we can reconcile fast databases and algorithms with the informal and asemantic nature of the world around us. It is broadcasted from Montreal (Canada).

Thanks and happy holidays. Kwan Please see my website: http://www.physicsrenaissance.com

Thanks and happy holidays.

I can't help but think that if string theory didn't have any promise people wouldn't be looking at it as much---but I'm sure there are people who would call me naive for saying so. At least string theory as an attempt to model the strong nuclear force did make one prediction: gravity! There are certaintly other options being looked at, like loop quantum gravity.

That aside, I've always been worried about how string theory has managed to forge on without ever having to really prove itself. Finally maybe people will start looking at other options I’m just waiting for the Intelligen Design crew to jump on this as proof of why science is biased.
