Odd. I gave you "all that math" in reference to your question about "string/M-theory".
String Theory (now M-Theory) is very "heavy" in math. True the "math" does not make
that (or any) theory "true". Only evidence can do that. Corroborating evidence.
With M-Theory this is currently lacking.

BTW, I don't think your "quote" spoke anything of the kind. Hardly mentioned it.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
