Yet string theorists, the silliest members of Einstein criminal cult,
are not sycophants of quantum gravity theorists and even hate them to
some extent:

http://motls.blogspot.com/2008/03/crackpot-world-matrix-universality.html
Motl: "I am going to explain, using Lee Smolin's new paper, why he is
a textbook example of a crank and what it means. The paper argues that
all theories in the world are equivalent to each other and encoded in
the formula "S=Tr(M^3)"."

The hatred is generated by texts like this one:

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.09/stringtheory.html
Lee Smolin, September 2006: "Well, every string theory that's been
written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas
about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually
increased. And an experiment on the Gamma Ray Large Area Space
Telescope, launching next year, will check this. So I've said, look,
if the speed of light isn't universal, that disconfirms string theory.
But the string theorists say they could probably invent versions of
the theory that work either way. We'd have to change our notion of
what science is to accommodate this proposition. You just can't do
science on that basis."
