I think string theory is so pupular is exactly because it can make predictions that classical particle theory cannot.

Are you sure? I thought that was why it had largely fallen out of favor. The predictions it makes are not testable.

String theory is basically just noodles on the wall these days trying to find what sticks. mostly without basis and 99.9% of it falls off eventually as it's not backed by anything of substance.
