(Something like 9/10 of theoretical physics grads are string theorists.) I view this as a 200 year travesty. (It'll be that long before we move off of Strings, I think.)

It has provided very valuable mathematical tools that have already started bearing fruit. -And we're discovering how to test it.-I don't like it. But if they can start finding ways to test it--and it works--that means that I get to eat my foot.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
