Where is String Theory at this moment?

[Unity+]

Earlier, String Theory had gotten much more attention and now(as I know of) it seems to have less of acknowledgment. Is there a reason for this?

[Mordred]

string theory by itself isn't as strong however ADS/CFT correspondance and twistor theory still have a decent following AFIAK. Both are string based models

There are lots of people still working in string theory in its many guises. It still gets plenty of attention from a physics and now especially a mathematics perspective.

what if particles have an internal clock that controls it's rate of spin and other parameters. If the act of entanglement syncs up these clocks, then isolating them will keep each clock running at the previous identical speed. Only when one particle is exposed to the outside universe will it's clock be altered, spoiling the entanglement, as the altered clock will start to shift the rate of the spin of the exposed particle...and the particles lose sync "unbeknownst" of each other and entanglement is broken with no violation of einstein's speed of information rule, or any transfer of information. The isolated particle remains steady at the pre-failure rate. I see the "strings" of numbers being the output of these clocks, one mechanism of string theory...
