Prescod-Weinstein "fails to note the most obvious explanation" for string theory’s morass, Sokal wrote: "String theory has failed to succeed in expected ways because the problems being studied are extraordinarily difficult."

I've also read that string theory is wholly unsupported by any evidence. It's pure speculation.

Of course, that has nothing to do with its "whiteness."

I remember the Sokal hoax; all of my professors in my grad program were laughing about it.
