by George Musser
When it comes to string theory, the leading proposal for an explanation of the deepest workings of nature, even the world’s experts feel like idiots. That’s what makes it so exciting! Nathan Seiberg, a pioneering string theorist, once said: “The theory is constantly more clever than the people who study it.” Physicists are still working through what string theory means and what it implies. Starting from a few ideas and mathematical equations, the theory opens up a universe of possibility that never ceases to surprise physicists. The same is true of other contenders for a fundamental theory.
Physics, like all science, flows from an appreciation of the beautiful complexity and intricacy of the natural world. Physicists’role in the grand scheme of science is to figure out how this complexity can flow out of a few basic principles, as it appears to do. Their goal is to explain the universe sim-ply yet comprehensively. This book has the same goal.
