i dunno know being the answer to EVERYTHING but certainly could explain some of the unknowns. years ago, a term in literature was used to explain the shortening of time travel. the word used was TESSERACT and the character in the book used a string to explain how the usual passage of time or linear passage was a straight line from one of the string to the other. well, if you were to close the ends by bending the string stretch, you traveled from one end of the string to the other but in considerable less time, agreed? certainly & the string theory is based on this tesseract concept. would it explain evolution, devolution, planet conjunctions, weathern patterns, etc.? it might but then maybe not. a theory is a theory until proven by scientific law (which translates into a concept where there is no exception - once you have an exception - poof! no more law). newton's three laws of universe motion, etc. has come under fire because there have been found exceptions to his three laws of physics & even if there were no exceptions to newton's laws of physics, they only apply to earth. what happens in space - stays in space & a whole new sets of 'laws' will need to be formulated. in the meantime, have another bowl of ice cream & smile!

It's possible, but right now string theory is no more than a complex system of mathematics involving such weird stuff like 11 dimensions, etc.,. Should string theory be perfected and its mathematics works out in actual experiments all four of the known fundamental forces of nature would be united into a single framework. With that tool science thinks that it could know everything there is to know about our universe.
Personally I'm not holding my breath until all this comes to pass. It's pretty arrogant to say that our science can eventually know everything. Some scientists about two-hundred years ago said the same thing, and look at how much we've learned since then.

No.
It would solve a small number of outstanding problems in physics, but would contribute more or less nothing to other areas of human understanding or endeavour. For instance, it would be more or less useless for musical theory. Or art criticism. Or even chemistry.
In other words, there is NO theory of everything - it simply cannot exist. And string theory - which increasingly looks to be wrong - is only a very minor sideshow.

String theory is the answer to nothing.
We live in a quantum universe and string theory is incompatible with a quantum universe.

In all of technology you possibly can nonetheless have a perception in God. you would be able to assert with all theories that there nonetheless is the prospect that God created each little thing. besides the fact that, to state string concept and relate it to the Bible in a clinical experience you are able to desire to apply appropriate clinical approach. so which you state that the voice of God is the frequency. properly, now it extremely is time so which you would be able to objective it. do not difficulty. because of the fact which you won't be able to. i'm a Christian and that i admire technology too. yet technology can not deductively coach a introduction or God. technology can't be confident that it has seen all conceivable records that is correct to an entire rationalization of particular actual phenomena or the universe itself.

It surely would.
If we could just string together all of our worries and woes, someone could walk outside dragging one end of the string and we would be forever clear of those nagging issues that drag us down each day.

It is a fascinating theory, but I believe it is just that. There is no conclusive way to really prove it.

I'm not sure if it's the answer to everything but is at least a good start.
blackjack432001, I loved that book.

Only if it can be proved to be true. It's a very fascinating theory.

No! needs minimum eleven dimensions to start and we cannot test anything at that level.
Asides from a few other notions....
