These are now, however, being considered in the debate on non-empirical physics. At the same time, since the contributions of Thomas Kuhn historians have developed a critical attitude towards formal attempts and methodological recipes for epistemic demarcation and justification of scientific practice. (Johannes Walcher, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2014) This book is amazing The author presents the string theory in a very pedagogical way. The occasional mathematician with a physics inclination will also find the book accessible. History of science also teaches that times of conflict are often times of innovation, in which novel scholarly identities may come into being. It is totally suited for a course in string theory straddling the undergraduate and graduate level. Just as Einstein is claimed by both sides, historiography offers examples of both successful and unsuccessful non-empirical science. At bottom, the conflict centers on the question: who is a proper physicist? To illustrate and understand the differing opinions about proper practice and identity, we discuss different appreciations of epistemic virtues and explanation among string theorists and their critics, and how these have been sourced in accounts of Einstein's biography. Certainly it is, mathematically, a structure that contains in various limits a plethora of quantum field. This paper argues that this conflict is really about who holds authority in making rational judgment in theoretical physics. String theory is a theory in fundamental physics. String theories are essentially unique in their critical dimension, and unify all forces and particles, including gravity. Yet, some of their recent critics deny this. String theorists are certain that they are practicing physicists.
