String Theory and The Elegant Universe

NOVA episodes such as these make me wish I were a theoretical physicist. M Theory (coined by Dr. Edward Whitten of Princeton) describes how strings and membranes are the basis of the universe and further introduces multi-dimensional math. Dr. Whitten took the existing five versions of string theory and united them under one understanding, furthering the future and interest in this exciting field. I highly recommend browsing through the PBS site below and catching the NOVA series if possible.
