This does look interesting, especially after reading Smolin's book The Trouble
with Physics.
I bet I like them both, even though many (wrongly) consider Smolin's book
anti-string. Its more pro-physics (at least as practiced through the 1970s).
Did you read it (Yau, not Smolin)? Yau won the Fields medal, always a good
recommendation.
