      Oct 9 2012: Not, I think, if you mean the sort of string theory that physicists put forward as a possible model of the most fundamental configurations of matter in the universe.

      You can say, though, that music is music theory in tangible form.

      One day scientists will hopefully accept or refute that the universe is string theory in tangible form. There are other competing hypotheses under investigation.
