On Lee Smolin's The Trouble with Physics
Abstract
Lee Smolin's casual accounting of special and general relativity in The Trouble with Physics raises an interesting question: is it possible to develop a legitimate argument concerning string theories starting from a shaky basis? This is apparently what Lee Smolin succeeded in doing when he wrote The Trouble with Physics. The book's shortcomings are nevertheless troublesome.
