I don't even think the string theorist know the answer to that one.

This fall, Columbia University mathematician Peter Woit has published a critique of string theory (Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory), pointing out that in more than three decades, string theory still has yet to make a single prediction that can be verified in the lab or through the lens of a telescope.

Hmmm,
All I can tell you is about the timeline of string theory based on the information I got from the site
Future: The search goes on for the Higgs boson (the only particle predicted by the Standard Model that hasn't been seen yet), for supersymmetric particles predicted by string theory, for proton decay and for magnetic monopoles predicted by Grand Unified Theories, and new kinds of exotic unpredicted particles is ongoing. Perhaps in a few years there will be some more interesting entries for this page. Come back later and see.

Fascinating, confusing as hell, totally unproven.

Recoil [became a factor] and it slipped into elasticity.
