Abstract

An essay is presented which explores how the string theory may contribute to division and unification in the field of physics. Topics discussed include the religious discourse which offers a comparison between the string theory and the Holy Grail theory, the arguments raised by several physicists such as Steven Weinberg, Paul Davies, and Julian Brown regarding the contradictions involving string theory, and the response of string theorists to criticisms about the failure of the said framework.
