3	Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law more books like this by Peter Woit add to wishlist When does physics depart the realm of testable hypothesis and come to resemble theology? Peter Woit argues that string theory isnt just going in the wrong direction, its not even science. Not Even Wrong shows that what many physicists call superstring theory is not a theory at all.
