Thanks so much for the ping, bvw, which must be a ping for later. Looks like seriously intriguing material. Will get back as soon as I can, God willing.

Meanwhile, I've pinged some friends.

Thank you so much for the ping!

I find this remark in the article most telling:

Case Western physicist Lawrence Krauss, whose latest book, Hiding in the Mirror, has stirred the controversy, feels that science's current struggle against political and religious agendas makes string theory a dangerous liability. As he writes in the journal Nature, the scientific status afforded to string theory "opens us up to otherwise avoidable attacks, particularly from those who would include religious ideas in high school science curricula."

But the real danger is not string theory's lack of experiments - it is the misrepresentation of what scientific theories are all about.

LOLOL! As we have observed on several threads - when one defends science with a worldview that reality is "matter in all its motions" - even mathematics gets wiped off the table as beyond natural for purposes of "methodological naturalism".
