Stunning article. From Newton to String Theory through Einstein and Schrödinger
From the page: "The mathematics behind string theory is long and complicated, but it has been worked out in detail. But has anyone ever seen such strings?The honest answer is "no". The current estimate of the size of these strings is about 10-34m, far smaller than we can see today,even at CERN. Still, string theory is so far the only known way to combine gravity and quantum mechanics, and its mathematical elegance is for many scientists sufficient reason to keep pursuing it."
