mixed 3.50

The book provides a comprehensive overview of physics and string theory, with mixed opinions on its depth and focus. Some readers found it engaging and informative, while others felt it was outdated or overly critical of social aspects of science.

The book delves into the complexities of string theory and the broader issues within the scientific community. Readers appreciated the detailed exploration of physics and the critique of string theory, though some found the social commentary offensive and others felt the book was outdated. The narrative is engaging for those interested in pop science and philosophy, but the repetitive sections on academic politics may deter some. Overall, the book offers a thought-provoking look at the state of modern physics and the challenges it faces.

Quick quotes

    This book delivers on string theory, though I wished it went more into discussing it.

    The book spends a significant proportion discussing the social aspects surrounding the development and future of physics.

    I like Tim Ferris' Science of Liberty a bit better, but there are some parallels in this book.

critical 4.00

The review discusses two books critical of string theory, a prominent approach in theoretical physics. Both authors argue that string theory has led physics down a path of unproductive research, with one author suggesting it's not even wrong and the other proposing alternatives and critiquing the sociology of the field.

The review covers two books that critique string theory, a major focus in theoretical physics. Lee Smolin's 'The Trouble With Physics' argues that string theory has led to a period of stagnation and suggests it's time to question its dominance. Peter Woit's 'Not Even Wrong' is even more critical, asserting that string theory is not even wrong and has led physicists astray. Both books delve into the history and science of string theory, with Woit providing more mathematical depth and Smolin discussing alternatives and the sociology of the field. The reviewer notes that while the books are complex, they help readers understand the current state of physics and the debate surrounding string theory.

Quick quotes

    Smolin hasn't completely given up on string theory, but he is clearly pessimistic.

    That assessment is downright rosy in comparison to the critique offered by Columbia University mathematician Peter Woit in Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law.

    Physicists 'were missing something absolutely fundamental' at the time of the first Solvay Conference, he noted. 'We are missing perhaps something as profound as they were back then.

thought-provoking 4.00

The review discusses the book 'The Trouble With Physics' by Lee Smolin, which critiques the dominance of string theory in modern physics. The book argues that string theory has become too entrenched and that other approaches to quantum gravity should be explored. The reviewer finds the book thought-provoking and well-argued, but notes that it may be too technical for some readers.

The book 'The Trouble With Physics' by Lee Smolin is a critical examination of the current state of theoretical physics, particularly the dominance of string theory. Smolin argues that string theory has become too entrenched in the field and that other approaches to quantum gravity should be given more attention. The reviewer finds the book thought-provoking and well-argued, but notes that it may be too technical for some readers. The book is likely to be of interest to those with a background in physics, but may be challenging for those without a strong scientific background. Overall, the reviewer finds the book to be a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of theoretical physics.

    The theory, in its original incarnation in the so-called first superstring revolution, claimed to be not only a way to quantise gravity but a complete Theory of Everything.
