String theory is well and truly outmoded - simply doesn't stack up. The most recent innovations (such as m theory) have simply pushed it further to
the peripheral.
Some of the more recent ideas include loop quantum gravity, Causal dynamical triangulations, quantum einstien gravity, quantum graphity, internal
relativity.
Causal Dynamical Triangulations is the most uniting theory of everything - this theory has been able to accommodate almost everything and
comprehensively out does String theory. (Pease see New Scientist 3rd May 2008).
NOne the less the collider may never be turned on if the court cases underway have any say in it -
