A Total Failure
I removed the blatantly untrue sentence "M Theory is a total failure". Many of the dualities that comprise M-theory have been verified mathematically. A fundamental goal of M-theory is to unite the existing and various versions of super-string theory. This project is far from complete, but nor is it a "total failure". It's an on-going topic of research.--Lemonpeel 20:39, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
