I see.
And yet you make this statement concerning the Casimir effect and bosonic strings
Rather than being a mathematical trick, renormalization has a physical significance and is related to the Casimir effect where there has been a shift in the ground energy state of the bosonic string.
(incidentally, I don't accept String Theory as a science. It's a concept more akin to a Mathematical Philosophy. This of course can change, should experimental evidence emerge that supports the predictions that String Theory claims.)
