If you're not worried that you're pricing it too cheap, you're not pricing it cheap enough.

Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light.

String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string's vibration determines the nature of its effect.
