Since strings are finite, string field theory doesn't need to be renormalized or regularized, only normalized and gularized.
The type I theory is special in that it is based on unoriented open and closed strings, whereas the other four are based on oriented closed strings.

M-Theory: strings, duality and branes : un art culo no especializado escrito por el Prof.

Conspiracy theories postulated small groups of bankers pulling strings and controlling the world.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

Finally string theory is accepted by the mainstream physics community as an actual candidate theory uniting quantum mechanics, particle physics and gravity.
This is the best popular introduction to string theory, the leading candidate for a theory which will encompass not only gravity but quantum mechanics and particle physics as well.
My research is mainly concerned with quantum field theory in two dimensions, in particular with conformal field theories and their applications to string theory and branes.
