Nuts.

That's Kaku trying to sell his wildly speculative books. IMO he has discovered that there is more money in hyped-up books than there is in physics.

There seems to be a new paradigm -- if you can't produce a prediction with strings, maybe you can produce a book. This is unfortunate as it destroys credibility of people who are actually trying to do real research.
