This market resolves once we have a broadly accepted theory of everything.
It resolves based on whether the general consensus among physicists is that string theory was "onto something", even if it got many details wrong. (As opposed to being a complete distraction from the correct direction of inquiry.)'
If there's no clear consensus I'll try to poll a representative sample of physicists to determine resolution.
