The history of string theory is probably more relevant to its core science than histories of other physical sciences. String theory is presently, and essentially, a non physically testable science, and thus arguably not Physics, yet its derivation parallels testable physics. Consequently an understanding of the theory's development has useful relevance within its ascribed discipline.
