I don't know, maybe. It depends on what string and M-theory come up with and how important group theory becomes to them. It is however the very foundation of RSA (also known as Public Key) encryption which is what every bank ever uses to do transactions and keep your information safe. Without modular arithmetic we wouldn't have online banking. Hell we wouldn't have online stores or anything else online having to do with finances. Speaking off I'll see about getting a little primer on RSA encryption written up.

... I'll take that as a "No" then.
