==Mathematical Predictions==

Although string theory has so far failed to make viable experimental predictions, it has proved remarkably successful at predicting new theorems in mathematics. For example, from string-theoretic considerations, Candelas, de la Ossa, Green, and Parks conjectured the correct formula for the number of degree d rational curves in a Calabi-Yau quintic. More generally, string theory has predicted a deep relationship in mathematics called "mirror symmetry" which connects seemingly unrelated topics in symplectic and complex geometry. Mirror symmetry remains an active area of mathematical research, and many highly non-trivial examples of mirror symmetry have been mathematically verified.

For example, from string-theoretic considerations, Candelas, de la Ossa, Green, and Parks conjectured the correct formula for the number of degree d rational curves in a Calabi-Yau quintic. Their formula was later rigorously proved correct by Givental and Lian, Liu, and Yau, establishing that the string-theoretic prediction was accurate.  More generally, string theory has predicted a deep relationship in mathematics called "mirror symmetry" which connects seemingly unrelated topics in symplectic and complex geometry.
