Yet string theorists, the silliest members of Einstein criminal cult,
are not sycophants of quantum gravity theorists and even hate them to
some extent:

Motl: "I am going to explain, using Lee Smolin's new paper, why he is
a textbook example of a crank and what it means. The paper argues that
all theories in the world are equivalent to each other and encoded in
the formula "S=Tr(M^3)"."

The hatred is generated by texts like this one:

Lee Smolin, September 2006: "Well, every string theory that's been
written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas
about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually
increased. And an experiment on the Gamma Ray Large Area Space
Telescope, launching next year, will check this. So I've said, look,
if the speed of light isn't universal, that disconfirms string theory.
But the string theorists say they could probably invent versions of
the theory that work either way. We'd have to change our notion of
what science is to accommodate this proposition. You just can't do
science on that basis."

"Edward Witten is so softly spoken that his voice sometimes threatens
to drift away completely. His desk is a jumble of papers and his
blackboard a mess of equations. But his hushed words come straight to
the point and are infused with understanding and passion. Witten's
quiet manner belies his status. In his role as de facto scientist-in-
chief of string theory, Witten, the Charles Simonyi professor of
mathematical physics at the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) in
Princeton, is undoubtedly the heir to Albert Einstein's title of
greatest living physicist. If Einstein were alive today, he would
probably be a string theorist.....As personal opinions go, Witten's
make other scientists sit up and listen. His ideas in the development
of string theory are legendary. "There is no question of the
extraordinary quality of Witten's intellectual achievements," says
renowned physicist Roger Penrose in his latest book, The Road to
Reality. "Where Witten goes, it does not take long for the rest to
follow." Witten himself does not approve of the cult of
celebrity....Predictably, Witten is modest about his achievement.
"It's an exaggeration to say that I came up with M-theory," he says.
"We came up with bits and pieces but there's a long history behind
it." Wherever the credit lies, there is no doubt that M-theory took
the already bizarre world of string theory into even stranger
territory. Before M-theory, strings existed in a world with 10
dimensions. These included a dimension of time, the three familiar
space dimensions, as well as six extra dimensions, curled up so small
that they are invisible. M-theory demanded an extra dimension for
space, taking the total to 11......The future for the string theorists
looks bright but there are still some basic questions for physicists
to answer. The first is simply - what is the theory describing? "This
is unlike general relativity where Einstein laid out the principles
and then he derived the consequences," says Seiberg. "We are in the
very bizarre, unprecedented situation where we know how to derive some
of the consequences but we don't know what the fundamental principles
are."
