What application does string theory have in YOUR daily life, other than to prove you don't have one?

Relativity was based on a progression of prior works. Hertz, Lorentz, Poincare, etc. weren’t just making things up. Incorporating things like dark matter and dark energy as fudge factor because your theories don’t work is a bit absurd. Relativity made specific testable predictions. None of the string theories currently do.
