I added some facts about bosonic strings but I feel my wording is clumsy. I think someone ought to rewrite it. - sigfpe 2:51 PM Jan 31 2006

Somebody had added a reference "Bosonic String theory and its relationship to Sacred Geometry, Kabbalah, Sri-Yantra, I-Ching, Acupuncture,E8E8 symmetry group, Tertactys and Pythagoras." I will not give my personal opinion on the material concerned, but will point out that it is not considered generally accepted fact among the string theory community and is thus inappropriate in an encyclopedia article. Reference removed. -- R, 10/09/07

the section which reads "Nevertheless, bosonic string theory remains a very useful "toy model" to understand many general features of perturbative string theory, and string theory textbooks usually start with the bosonic string." - is offensive and should be reworded or removed. Just use the wording 'useful model.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.220.122.85 (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
