"So string theory is back? Cool!"

I don't know. Reading about string theory will give a guy a serious headache. Cosmology is no fun any more. Maybe it's just my old age, but I find it all harder and harder to keep up with these days.

I keep trying, but...it's a young guy's game.

It became less fun to me when I learned how hard it really is.

You're not kidding. How many dimensions are we up to now to make the math work, 10?, 11? I have enough trouble with 4 and that time dimension keeps speeding up.
