In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when you bend it or stretch it as long as you don't break anything.
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are lik… - Edward Witten
