Description: Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Lawby Peter WoitEAN: 9780465092758ISBN: 0465092756Publisher: Basic BooksFirst Edition: 2006, HardcoverProduct Dimensions: 0.9 x 9.2 x 6.1 inchesPages: 320Language: English Book OverviewNOT EVEN GNORW"This is a courageous and necessary book that should spark a debate about the future of theoretical physics."-Lee Smolin, author of Three Roads to Quantum Gravity "Not Even Wrong is an authoritative and well-reasoned account of string theory's extremely fashionable status among today's theoretical physicists. I regard it as an important book."-Roger Penrose, author of The Road to Reality "Peter Woit presents an authoritative, sobering, and very readable history of a scientific and sociological phenomenon that is largely unprecedented in the history of science. From a physics perspective, what is known as 'string the- ory' remains primarily the 'hope' for a theory. Nevertheless it has dominated theoretical particle physics as well as the popular consciousness as few other notions have, all the while without ever making a single falsifiable prediction about nature! Readers interested in a more balanced understanding of mod- ern theoretical physics are sure to benefit."-Lawrence Krauss, author of The Physics of Star Trek, and Hiding in the Mirror. The Mysterious Allure of Extra Dimensions, from Plato to String Theory and Beyond
