Gravity is an electrostatic dipole effect of sorts String theory, as you noted, is BS of the worst sort. One of the basic ideas is to give the evolosers an infinity of universes to work with since they know the odds against evoloserism with just the one universe we see around us.

Yet, what has always given string, or M-Theory it´s strong appeal is that it mathematically unifies relativity and quantum theory as no other framework ever has. This alone is what holds so many in it´s...charm.

Yeah, right.
Gravity is an illusion, and M-Theory is truth.

The String theorists really want this. I suppose it makes their whole viewpoint of how things operate much easier to do. A few years ago weren't the same people saying gravity was a strong force rather than a weak force? Helped make the rest of the theories work...
