SUMMARY:Strings and the Real World\, Physics Department Colloquium\, G
 ordy Kane\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I'll describe how string theory is exciting b
 ecause it can address most or all of the questions we hope to understa
 nd about the quarks and leptons that make up our world\, the forces th
 at form our world\, cosmology\, CP violation\, and more. I'll explain 
 why string theory is testable in basically the same ways as the rest o
 f physics\, and why much of what is written about that is misleading. 
 String theory is already or soon being tested in several ways\, includ
 ing dark matter\, LHC physics\, neutrino physics\, cosmological histor
 y\, and more\, from work in the increasingly active subfield "string p
 henomenology".
