Abstract: We propose that the ten-dimensional $E_{8}imes{E}_8$ heterotic string is related to an eleven-dimensional theory on the orbifold $$ in the same way that the Type IIA string in ten dimensions is related to $$. This in particular determines the strong coupling behavior of the ten-dimensional $E_{8}imes{E}_8$ theory. It also leads to a plausible scenario whereby duality between $SO(32)$ heterotic and Type I superstrings follows from the classical symmetries of the eleven-dimensional world, just as the $$ duality of the ten-dimensional Type IIB theory follows from eleven-dimensional diffeomorphism invariance.
