It wouldn't have mattered if it had because string theory hasn't made one
single prediction that could be tested. Well OK it did make one but it
turned out to be wrong; it predicted that there were 10 spacial dimensions
and then had to introduce a fudge factor about 7 of them being so small you
could never see them. The trick is not to find a theory that quantizes
space-time the trick is in finding a theory that quantizes space-time AND
is consistent with experiment.
