I've known about how super-symmetric string theory describes energy and other assorted things, but I'm am still some what in the dark about how the one-dimensional strings compose a three dimensional objects such as mass.
at the moment, my understanding is that mass is formed by strings composed of strings forming a complete loop. Is that right?

mass is due to the speed the strings are moving (vibrations, not through space).  using quantum mechanics, the faster something moves, the more mass it has.  that was the one I found easy to understand.  don't ask me about electromagnetism, inertia,  strong nor the weak forces.

The mass is depend on the frequency of the vibration.  The higher the frequency, the more energy it has, the more massive the particle.

11 dimensional string theory, (and 26 dimensional M theory), has not produced anything.

It is possible that the extra 7 dimensions of space in string theory, (that are not perceived), are mathematical deception that first appeared with 5 dimensional Kaluza-Klein Theory.

String theory is possibly deception involving adding dimensions of space to the already existing 3 dimensions of space one dimension at a time at 90 degree angles to the previous dimension.

That string theory is possibly invalid is stated at the end of the wikipedia article on string theory.
