Is Super String Theory Right?
Recent experiments seem to show anomalies in the behaviour of muons, their decays and their coupling to otheir particles. We don't know yet if those anomalies are going to persist over time but they certainly don't rule out super symmetry. Super string theory requires super symmetry to make contact with the physical world,. But it doesn't require that signatures of super symmetry are accessible to us experimentally. They could be up at the plank scale, or they would be complete, completely inaccessible. Let me emphasize, string theory is not dead. It might still be correct. And more importantly, even if it were dead, we've learned a lot by doing string theory. Know, all the stuff on
