String theory: "Not Even Wrong" according to Peter Woit
I haven't read the entire book, but Peter Woit has written a book on string theory that calls the theory "not even wrong" because it does not provide any testable predictions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465092756/?tag=pfamazon01-20
I have limited understanding of string theory from Brian Greene's book The Elegant Universe. Given that there are various threads of evidence for string theory and some postdictions of the standard model, and the widespread support for the theory among scientists, does anyone care to share thoughts on this subject?
