Removed the word "real". The term seems to support a non-neutral opinion. Everybody agrees the world is real.
Removed the word "fundamental"; was too vague

M-theory is not complete, but the mathematics of the approach has been explored in great detail. However, so far no experimental evidence for M-theory exists.<ref name=atlantic/> Some physicists are skeptical that this approach will lead to a physical theory describing our world, due to fundamentalits issueslack of predictive power.<ref name="Smolin_Response">[[Lee Smolin]], April 2007:[https://web.archive.org/web/20130621085800/http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/joep/links/on-some-criticisms-of-string-theory/lee-smolins-response Response to review of ''The Trouble with Physics''] by [[Joe Polchinski]].</ref>
 
Nevertheless, some [[cosmologists]] are drawn to M-theory because of its mathematical [[elegance]] and relative simplicity, triggering the hope that the simplicity is a reason why it may describe our world.
