Peter Woit

Peter Woit is a theoretical physicist and mathematician best known for his critical perspective on string theory. He argues that string theory, despite extensive research, lacks empirical evidence and a clear way to test its predictions, making it more a mathematical framework than a proven description of the universe. Woit advocates for focus on alternative approaches in fundamental physics that can be experimentally validated. His influential book, *Not Even Wrong*, highlights these concerns and encourages the scientific community to remain open-minded and rigorously test theories before accepting them as descriptions of reality.
