the question is could a STRING be a very long object with high energy wrapped into the size of the atom ??

the idea is if we could unroll an string would it deliver some kind of its energy ?

for example if we have some kind of Einstein equation but for string in the sense that Energy E would be proportional to the size of the string

so a STRING could have a potential ENERGY higher than an H or A-Bomb due to its size

no , Strings are not DNA in cells

no, but there could be something a lot more exotic
