Current Thoughts in String Theory

DrLudicrous writes "The NYTimes is running a nice little synopsis of the current ideas in string theory. Apparently, there is still quite a bit of disagreement about how to interpret the various theories, with some string theorists supporting a semi-deterministic worldview a la Einstein (God does not play dice), while others believe our universe is just one possibility among many, with respect to various physical parameters."

We did eventually understand relativistic motion, however, so we probably will eventually understand the extension of subatomic particles into multi-demensional space, too.

Speak for yourself about understanding relativistic montion. I get the basics, but the further I try to get past that, the more my head hurts.
