Physicists: It isn't

Eh, the responses are a bit more varied, ranging from "we have very low confidence, because it did not correctly predict several things" to "it's the best unifying theory we have, by quite a bit".
In my opinion, worth a read for folks interested in string theory...
And don’t forget the “we’re doing great but we don’t expect to have testable predictions for another 950 years or so” guy.
