It puts me off reading. I would remove the picture or change it with another one. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/190.188.3.11|190.188.3.11]] ([[User talk:190.188.3.11|talk]]) 01:24, 14 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== What's new ? ==
Anything new in string theory in the last 10 years? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Alphachapmtl|Alphachapmtl]] ([[User talk:Alphachapmtl|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Alphachapmtl|contribs]]) 20:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Critical dimension and consistency ==
The article currently states that the critical dimension of string theory is not fixed by any consistency condition. This is pretty much orthogonal to what I know about string theory. My understanding is that the critical dimension follows from the requirement that the [[conformal anomaly]] present in string theory is absent, and that this only happens if there are 26 (or 10 for superstrings) spacetime dimensions. Of course, my info on this may be dated, but my gut feeling is that the work on super-/subcritical string theories is getting [[WP:UNDUE]] weight.[[User:TimothyRias|TimothyRias]] ([[User talk:TimothyRias|talk]]) 15:35, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
