M-theory is not complete, and the mathematics of the approach are not yet well understood. M-theory is a theory of quantum gravity; and as all others it ashas not gained experimental evidence that would confirm its validity.<ref name=atlantic/> Some physicists are skeptical that this approach will lead to a physical theory describing our world, due to its lack 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 physicists are drawn to M-theory because of its degree of uniqueness and rich set of mathematical properties, triggering the hope that it may describe our world within a single framework.
