Still no real support for string theory:-https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/will-the-lhc-be-able-to-test-string-theory-869e6be00e1f-"Unfortunately, the predictions from the string theorists did not agree very well with the data. The quark gluon plasma in the end doesn't seem to be as strongly coupled as it was thought to be, thus moving it out of the regime where using the gauge-gravity duality would work well, or at least almost out. The LHC, thus, has already tested string theory!-"Unfortunately, the predictions from the string theorists did not agree very well with the data.

Maybe then physicists are eventually settling into a stable relationship with string theory, one in which reality replaces dreams. The LHC, then, will test how seriously they take their new commitment."
