Is string theory still worth exploring? | Roger Penrose and Eric Weinstein battle Brian Greene
Roger Penrose and Eric Weinstein go at loggerheads with Brian Greene over the relevance of string theory today.
We previously saw Weinstein and Greene battle it out over the string theory community’s toxic culture. Today we get to see physicist Roger Penrose join the the dissention, weighing in on whether the once revelotionary theoretical framework is a thing of the past.

String theory has been dominant in theoretical physics for thirty years, with more scientific papers arising from it than any other theory. But critics argue the theory has held undue influence and it is an error to pursue it.
Is it time to move on from string theory, recognise that the search for supersymmetry has failed, and seek alternative accounts of the universe that are supported by observation and experiment? Or is the continued dominance of string theory justified by its potential to unify our understanding of the universe once and for all?
