String Theory certainly may have validity. It's original purpose was not to provide a theory of everything but to solve smaller problems.

It IS fascinating and strangely compelling, even though I read both pro and anti string material. When I was just out of college I set as one of my goals to understand String theory in a deeper sense, and that is a goal that I've not abandoned. Now, all these years later, I'm in a very fortunate position where I can do that.

Your art/science analogy is very poignant, if I understand it. It seems to be a very enlightened view of science.
