String theory is one of the leading candidates for a theory of everything, that is, a theory that unifies all 4 basic forces of nature, viz, gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong force and the weak force. The last 3 forces mentioned above are described by quantum mechanics. This is the link between quantum mechanics and string theory.
ps- If you believe in watertight definitions, then quantum mechanics is all the quantum theory till Dirac's equation. I'm taking quantum mechanics as the theory of the small as such, that is, all of the phenomena of the small from Plank till the standard model and beyond.

Firstly, there definitely are plates, and they definitely move. Those are facts. Secondly, "theory" in science doesn't mean the same thing it does in everyday language. In science, something doesn't qualify as a theory unless it explains everything we already knew and (correctly) predicts things we didn't already know. A "theory" is something that is generally considered to be almost certainly true, barring later discoveries showing that it may not be complete. That doesn't make it "wrong", necessarily, it just means it may only apply in special cases (or, perhaps, may NOT apply in certain special cases).
1. Determine which sort of spiral you wish to draw.- Clockwise or Anticlockwise. 2. Wind a long string around a pillar box /telegraph pole / lampost /etc in the appropriate sense 3. Tie your pencil to the end. 4. Apply paper underfoot. 5. Press pencil to paper and walk away allowing string to unwind while keeping it taut. 6. Repeat using longer string and wider/ narrower post as required.
