In my opinion, Einstein would definitely answer to Brian Greene that
he completely disagrees with such an approach (string theory). The
reason being that string theory does not depart from the
undeterministic picture of the world provided by QM. I have read a
biography of Einstein and it is clear that his major concern was to
invalidate the undeterministic picture of the physical world provided
by QM.
