Strings Double Slit Experiment

[rogerl]

If electrons are strings (in string theory), what happened to the string between emission at the double slit experiment and detection on the screen after it passes thru the 2 slits? Does the string splitted and joined again after the slits?

Before string theory, we just say particle properties like position don't exist before measurement. This is possible because electrons as point particle could not exist as such in its fundamental form. But with string, what does it mean the position doesn't exist before measurement? What happened to the string?

Don't be oversold by those pictures of little wiggly lines and circles! Strings, if they exist, are still quantum mechanical objects. Giving particles some kind of complicated structure at the Planck scale won't change that.

If physicists don't even know what happened to the strings between the emission and detector in the double slit experiment. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the supposedly Final Theory? Why and why not?
