"In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other."
Total disconnect!
What is this idiot professor talking about?
"buzzword, buzzword, buzzword...."
“African sparrow or European sparrow”. What you posted is the physical string theory. Here is the social string theory.
Anyway, kidding aside, the study author stretched too far to sound ‘knowledgeable and impressive’. Such buzzwords are like a piece of brightly colored string with lots of bling, if you twirl fast enough, people will fall for it.
Especially if you have MD, PhD, and all kinds of titles after your name.
The use of "American exceptionalism" to mean something like "the American Dream" is Langford's and should be deplored. It's sloppy throwing around of vague buzzwords.
