Basing her discussion on the books of L. Susskind (2005) and L Smolin (2006) the authoress focuses on the controversy concerning the scientific character of string theory in contemporary physics. Since both authors referred to quote K.R. Popper, various aspects of his conception of falsificationism are discussed. Against this background some relations between methodology and metaphysical hypotheses also are examined.
