Description
In *The End of Physics*, Lindley challenged the assumption that string theorists might achieve a unified theory. He contended that particle physics was in danger of becoming a branch of aesthetics, since these theories could be validated only by subjective criteria, such as elegance and beauty, rather than through experimentation. [John Horgan, *The End of Science*, 1996, p. 70; cf. Wikipedia]
Description
History of the attempts to find a "theory of everything" that also argues that such a theory will never be found.
