Not too long ago i managed to catch Nova's presentation of The Elegant Universe on television. It provided a good overview of string theory. Today i came across an interesting interview with Brian Green, that show's host. I wish i could understand all that stuff someday and would be able to toss terms like "noncommutative geometry", "loop-quantum-gravity", and "Calabi-Yau shape" into the course of everyday conversation.
Posted by Matthew at November 5, 2003 08:23 AMI read The Elegant Universe a while back. Or more accurately, I read about half of it. After that it just turned my mind to mush and left it out in the cold. Missed the Nova show, although I doubt that would've helped much.
