The Problem With String Theory
From my perspective string theory is kind of ripping off quantum field theory because at the end of the day string theory is just another quantum field theory and so they're trying to portray it as this different final theory when really we know quantum field theory works well for the lhc all the particle collisions. Some theories have supersymmetry some theories don't and then the ones with supersymmetry often get looped into string theory which is just some weird symmetry. So eric wines dean is basically saying can't we just ignore all the no go theorems and and play around with ideas and i mean in some regards that's a little disrespectful to previous work, he says.
