I stopped reading at 'Lee Smolin'. If you are a trained physicist read ahead and pick apart his misconceptions. If you're not a trained physicist then you are likely to be misled and I encourage you to not bother. Time is too valuable to be wasted here.
- hugh3 15y agoYour profile says you're a medical student. Are you a physicist too?
- inuhj 15y agoYes, but not that kind of physicist. I have a masters in medical physics, worked three years as a radiation physicist, and am now pursuing a career as a radiation oncologist. Perhaps I should update my profile ;).
- logjam 15y agoThat's a bit harsh. I won't guess your own objections to what Smolin says, but for everyone else -- Smolin wrote "The Trouble with Physics" and has expressed some controversial views regarding string theory, and the anthropic principle, eg: http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/smolin_susskind04/smolin_susskind.html http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/smolin_susskind04/smolin_sus...
