A theory is something that has been tested over time and the data constantly supports it. Examples are the theory of relativity or the theory of evolution. This is way different from the conventional usage, which is just something somebody things. I hate it when people use it that way!
Note: A theory is never proven. Nothing in science is proven, but a theory is as close as you can get. The data can only support the facts.
String theory seeks to unite quantum physics with the theory of general relativity in the field of theoretical physics.
Modern physics!
Experimental physics. Only with experiments come a theory:)
It's the Quantum Theory.

As of now, string theory has not been replaced by any other theory in the field of theoretical physics. It remains a prominent and actively researched area of study.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, proposed in the early 20th century, was a key contribution that brought about a transition from classical physics to modern physics. This theory revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity, leading to new ways of approaching physical phenomena.
Yes, the names of specific theories in physics are typically capitalized, such as "General Theory of Relativity" or "Quantum Field Theory." However, general physics concepts or generic terms like "theory of relativity" are not capitalized.
