Has there been any experimental verification of string theory? What if this is a colossal dead end--what's Plan B?

I imagine that we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

No experimental verification of string theory yet (although certain properties of black holes have been deduced using string theory techniques). Perhaps string theory is a dead end, perhaps not. Either way, physics goes on. After all, what else is there to do?
