Literate Scientist

I was always intrigued by String Theory since 90s when my boss at Interactive Products, Inc., the physicist in the past, mentioned that in that theory mathematical apparatus changes every 6 months. While waiting for a flight in London Heathrow airport in 2002 I bought a popular book “The Elegant Universe” by Brian Greene. Later I read two books about String Theory Not Even Wrong and the Trouble With Physics that criticise the theory. Last year I also read The Road to Reality that has a few critical chapters about String Theory. However I always wanted to understand the mathematics behind the theory and see derivations. And I was delighted when the first edition of Barton Zwiebach’s book appeared in print and I immediately bought it. Although I read only a few chapters of it and never finished it, when the second edition came out I bought it too and started reading the book again. I hope to finish it this year.
