What is wrong with string theory?

*** If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Einstein

   Are string theorists missing some basic idea that would allow them to explain the computational basis of their theory?

*** Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. - Einstein

   What powerful leap of imagination do string theorists need? Is there some basic fact about alternate universes that is somehow revealed by astronomical findings?

*** Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone. - Einstein

    Should string theorists guess at the three most important predictions of string theory? Should string theorists give a simple explanation of three things: what are the basic ideas of string theory, why are the ideas important, and how do the ideas modify science?
