Transcript context
…Because we’d learn a lot. Because we’d learn a lot. The problem in some ways in physics has been that the fundamental theories have been just too successful for the last 50 years. Yes, you’re right again, it’s very attractive for a few years, but over 50 or 60 years, it’s terrible. I think that’s certainly part of the issue with quantum gravity. Does it bother you that so many people hate string theory, think it’s now low status, think it’s not aesthetic, think it’s unintuitive? Does that carry any weight with you? Or do you want to be short status again on this one?…
