Can anyone explanin to me how are strings related with energy, is enrgy created frmo strings or energy is something uncreated?

If you refer to strings of "String Theory", then energy itself is 'composed' of the strings.
 
In string theory, generally called superstring theory, the fundamental consitutent is a two dimensional string...kind of a stretched rubber band like strand which is actually a vibrating filament of energy. Properties we observe at macroscopic levels reflects the nature of the string vibrations. The detailed pattern of vibration executed by a string produces a specific mass, a specific electric charge, abnd a specific spin...and so on.

A string with highly active vibrations has more energy and from E = mc2 type cosniderations, is observed to have more mass. All particle properties are determined by the vibrational patterns of strings.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
