Abstract

A conjecture formulated by Henri Poincare in 1912 suggests that Max Planck's elementary quantum of action constitutes an authentic "atom of motion". When the conjecture is implemented, the resulting entity, the xon, becomes "the string string theorists forgot to notice". If a string exists in Nature, then string theoretical research should be pursued.
