I am sad that such people are part of the physics community. I don´t know what his knowledge on string theory might be, but as far as how scientific theories evolve, it´s lacking. Does this person understand what is meant by a toe?

In such a case the unification coupling constant is one of, if not the most important result. It is the illusive point where all the four fundamental forces meet. What is the value of this coupling?

From the very beginning El Naschie starts not by classifying particles and fields but by determining the coupling constant of the different fields as well as that of grand unification and for quantum gravity. The inverse value for both turned out to be 42 and 26 respectively.
