Lee Smolin: String Theory Is Still Wrong
Lee Smolin is a physicist at the Perimeter Institute who Is a vocal critic of string theory. He is fascinated by quantum gravity, contributing to two major theories, loop quantum gravity and deformed special relativity. He proposed ‘cosmological natural selection’: a falsifiable mechanism to explain the choice of the laws of physics.

He has also contributed to quantum field theory, the foundations of quantum mechanics, theoretical biology, the philosophy of science and economics. He is the author of more than 150 scientific papers and numerous essays and writings for the public on science.

He also has written four books which explore philosophical issues raised by contemporary physics and cosmology. These are Life of the Cosmos (1997), Three Roads to Quantum Gravity (2001), The Trouble with Physics (2006) and Time Reborn (2013). Most recently, he coauthored The Singular Universe and The Reality of Time with Roberto Mangabeira Unger.
