Description |
I will review the present status of String Theory. I start with its drawbacks, including the difficulty of any direct experimental test in the near future. I then explain its achievements as well as its interconnections with gauge theories, statistical mechanics and cosmology, before and after the discovery of the holographic correspondence. |
