Line 17: − − == Dark Energy Confounds String Theory == − − The discovery of [[dark energy]] in 1998 was a particularly damaging blow to string theory. It was just the sort of thing that string theorists hoped to explain, and yet string theory cannot explain it. As of today, string theory has attracted strong interest among theorists but has not suggested any critical experiments.
dark energy has not been discovered it is either hypothesized or theorized
Some string theorists, such as Leonard Susskind, say that string theory may not be testable but may still provide insights on multiple universes. But his book defending string theory appears by its title to be a rant against [[Intelligent Design]]: "''The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design.''"
