Is String Theory a Reductionist Program of Everything?
Tona: I took the point of view that string theory was not going to make an experimental prediction. And so, you know, it's disappointing, of course, that we haven't been able to make contact with experiment. But what has happened is teasers and inklings of how different the universe might be than what we imagine or our senses tell us. It could happen that some of these experimentalists are blowing our minds and our socks off every week. This would be even more amazing, you know? I'm not expecting that.
