Sadly, Yo-Yo Ma was unable to keep up with the latest developments in physics after M Theory gained currency, since he was unable to find the M string on his cello. ;-)

Yes. He has a better understanding of string theory than Eddie Van Halen. Yo yo Ma knows they vibrate instead of jump.

11 dimensional string theory, (and 26 dimensional M theory), has not produced anything.
It is possible that the extra 7 dimensions of space in string theory, (that are not perceived), are mathematical deception that first appeared with 5 dimensional Kaluza-Klein Theory.
String theory is possibly deception involving adding dimensions of space to the already existing 3 dimensions of space one dimension at a time at 90 degree angles to the previous dimension.
That string theory is possibly invalid is stated at the end of the wikipedia article on string theory.
