In this groundbreaking book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that physics—the basis for all other science—has lost its way. The problem is string theory, an ambitious attempt to formulate "a theory of everything" that explains all the forces and particles of nature and how the universe came to be. With its exotic new particles and parallel universes, string theory has captured the public"s imagination and seduced many physicists. But as Smolin reveals, there"s a deep flaw in the theory: no part of it has been proven, and no one knows how to prove it. As a scientific theory, it has been a colossal failure. And because it has soaked up the lion's share of funding, attracted some of the best minds, and penalized young physicists for pursuing other avenues, it is dragging the rest of physics down with it. With clarity, passion, and authority, Smolin charts the rise and fall of string theory and takes a fascinating look at what will replace it. A group of young theorists has begun to develop exciting new ideas that are, unlike string theory, testable. Smolin tells us who and what to watch for in the coming years and how we can find the next Einstein. This is a wake-up call, and Lee Smolin—a former string theorist himself— is the perfect person to deliver it.
A physicist turned to sociology so as to refresh his ethical community - the scientific community.. he thought the string theorists used wrong methods to approach a (potentially) right question..

读过的关于物理研究现状，面临的问题，发展的趋势，以及学术圈的困境的最好的一本书。有机会一定要读第二遍，打开了很多新知识的窗口。像这样的书，真应该多读。

一窝蜂也适用于理论物理学界-几乎所有人都在做超弦理论。Lee Smolin为此忧心忡忡，担心这会压制其他竞争理论，而这些理论有可能更接近真理

引特别好，收也没大问题（即便学术问题变成学术圈问题），只是中段作为科普读物而言，信息量过于密集，消化过程需要读者思维高度紧绷才不至于脱节。作者不掩饰带着强烈的抗争立场，也是成书的初衷之一，作为大众来讲，似乎还是同时吸纳下弦论阵营的观点较为稳妥。也许是年纪上去了，要么专业背景有距离，理论性的内容在脑子里只是形式化地流淌而过，并没能留下许多。
