This is a fantastic series by an excellent author/narrator/host Brian Greene. The whole thing is like 15 parts, as I recall with potentially great error.

I think its stupid you canot exsplain string thery ore alot of scince properly in 40minit tv programs. the only use is to introduce people to them so thay can study them better ore become intrestead in them. unfortunatly these progrtams are often presented in a way as if to say here is all the information but simplifide.

In the world I think there are only about 2 people that understand Super String theory and M theory fully... one is Stephen Hawking and the other is a unnamed convict at mental home in alabama.

the math is too intense for me but these series are perfect. There's a lot of stuff to cover, no way in 40 mins. I've read a few of B.G.'s books (thats the author, Baltar) and this series is a great refresher.

This video reminds me of how dumb retriever dogs are also. My basset would have torn through that stuff.

Another physics fan, good choice lad you'll go far. I'll tell my goons to lighten up on you on the street.
