Many seem to think that the string theory as a theory of everything is dead. It is difficult to see this as we know that strings are related to vibration and waves and they go into everything. The whole of quantum mechanics is built around a mass spring equation. We also know that the world is either free radiation (energy) or condensed radiation (mass). Vibrations and waves are also at the heart of Maxwell equations. The question is if it is possible to modify the present approach of string theory to give it a second life.
