- Abstract: String theory has been around for over 30 years. The string vacuum determines the spectrum of states and gauge interactions of the low energy theory. Some talk about on the order of 10^{300} vacua for string theory, BUT to date there are only a handfull of candidate vacua which look anything like our observed low energy world. In this talk I will discuss a new strategy for finding the minimal supersymmetric standard model in the immense string landscape.
