String theory is patent rubbish and many theoretical physicists say as much. The implications for math are profound. But as a physical theory, it is untestable for one and based on shoddy foundations from what I've understood for second. More like a shotgun wedding instead a natural union like say electromagnetism. Ok, I never got past beginning graduate quantum mechanics but you get enough of a flavor for the way things are done.
