i wanted to agree with you, and apparently the author, but reading the article left me thinking the title is pretty poetic the title reminds me of a title of a poem by the russian poet osip mandelstam: sumerki svobody, may 1918(i); the word sumerki is vague in its definition and so can be understood and, as many have found intriguing and frustrating, translated as either sunset or sunrise, dawn or twilight, and the poem's terseness allows the reader to project their own preconceptions into the word, attempting to solidify its fluid nature to either find in the poem support or something to be angry about this word 'unravels' has a similar fluid character, here's the goog run on it(ii) : verb 1. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads). 2. investigate and solve or explain (something complicated or puzzling) undo or explain even the author of the piece seems to feel the titles fluidity: Should decades drift by without experimental support, I imagine that string theory will be absorbed by other areas of science and mathematics, and slowly shed a unique identity. In the interim, vigorous research and a large dose of patience are surely warranted. is this the twilight or the dawn of string theory? is it unraveling or unraveling? and the author agrees: who knows?; as others have noted this piece is more of a 'this is where we are and where we came from and where we're headed' so i think how you read the word unravel is largely based on your interest in the subject matter (i) https://books.google.com/books?id=4O6F8BMhW6oC&pg=PA34&dq=%E2%80%9CSumerki+svobody,%E2%80%9D+May+1918&hl=en&sa=X&ei=v_KWVPzNNNO7ogTAp4DoCQ&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%E2%80%9CSumerki%20svobody%2C%E2%80%9D%20May%201918&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=4O6F8BMhW6oC&pg=PA34&dq=%E...
