String Theory

We have been watching a Nova set of episodes called "The Elegant Universe". It's about String Theory. (Physics) I pulled it out of Netflix.

It's pretty interesting, they talk a lot about quantum mechanics and general relativity. They also talk a lot about the math that brought string theory about. I keep thinking that's it's all math anyway, and if they could go and figure out how to unify the different types of mathematics, they could answer a lot of questions in physics. Anyway, it's a very interesting set of shows. I might have to get the book and read it.

We got the girls to sit down and watch a good portion of the show today. Maybe tomorrow Emma will turn in a paper proving some of the questions asked in the documentary. (and don't worry too much, the other disk currently out from my queue is cartoons.)
