String Theory Simplified

That’s right, I’m a big nerd. If you ever wondered about indepth physics, well I’m sure you’ll enjoy this video. This was made for a contest Discover magazine hosted that challenged people to explain the theory in 2 minutes. Enjoy

    I don’t know whom you are, or why you posted this, but I bow at your feet :) I teach physics and science (plus French…everyone needs to teach one fun class), and my student are grappling with string theory. This is perfect. I have posted the Seed Magazine pull out of it, but they use it now as a dartboard b/c it was nonsensical to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Thanks for posting this!

    This is awesome. I never understood string theory until I watched this. Bravo!

      I’ll bite. Please send me an outline or a small excerpt and I will get back to you if it isn’t complete rubbish or regurgitated.

    If you just click in the video it will pause it. No ff or rewind though, sorry. And I haven’t found the video posted anywhere else.

    the string can be broken down even further, into sting fibers, and even further stil, into string sections. need to keep searching… small enough to break the stands of gravity with pure energy or thought

    Thank you for posting- great help! Now what or who decides what vibrational frequency a “string” will manifest?
