Woit

Woit has only harsh things to say about the recent acceptance of an anthropic principle by several leading string theorists, notably Weinberg and David Susskind.

So the small differences between you and me, you and Horgan and you and Woit, are mainly related to how much patience we each have (based on our different levels of experience and of confidence in the record of experimental and observational science) to wait for the possible coming together of the “larger framework that will hopefully be testable” (your words to Horgan).

Hmmmm …. so that means that there is no safe haven for people who try to criticize Woit - because he deletes them all if you try that on his blog.

Who on earth would read a book specifically devoted to answering or debunking everything said by Woit and Smolin?

These are orthogonal issues and little of my argument with Woit has bearing on your question.

I think that Woit considers most models derived from string theory to be ugly and contrived, not necessarily stirng theory itself.

My 50 cent are, that string theory is loosing the public debate, because Woit and especially Smolin have the better arguments.

Look what you said about Woit after his discover interview:

It is Just Me, Or…? cjohnson 2006

This is the key question, for Woit, for Smolin and for string theory.
