You would probably learn more by listening to Cumrun Vafa [0] than anything I could say. It’s hard to say much about string theory without space time supersymmetry not because it doesn’t exist (we know it does) but because it’s so hard to calculate anything…physicists are very reliant on a few tools, supersymmetry is a big one, and without it it’s really hard to say anything concrete, yet.
