Ah very true. Still, I think one of the differences with John
Ellis vs some other string theorists is that he places a far
higher priority on the validity of experimentation over pure
theory. That's the point that impresses me about him, moreso
than his work on or choice of string theory. Some string
theorists are happy to live in the land of pure mathematics -
and that's fine - but without the experimental data, they're
nice thought experiments. That's the nuance of difference I see
that he makes.
