hurhurhur big think... string theory has at the very least given useful tools for particle and field theory as a research area, saying this doesn't work is like complaining that I can't take home a jar of magnons to show someone besides there's tonnes of theory people I know who work on completely unrelated theory problems and ways of working that predate or have come after the dawn of string-theory, complaining this hasn't panned out into M-thoery is to a point of almost being absurdist
