Re: String Theory

I think this would have been an acceptable answer to your question.

I saw that. I even had to write a paper about it. Because it was so out there and the nova show explained it so well, I used many of the analgies and paraphrased it. I told my teacher that I did (she had seen the episode eariler) and she said that was a good idea. She also lent me the book. But I didn't get far in the book.

The whole idea of string theory is very crazy and I don't follow much of what they are doing with it, even in the nova episode. But it makes some sence in a strange, head exploding way. But I only know much about it because it is so weird, I like it. Does it's findings, what it could mean change how I do anything, no, but it is fun to try and wrap your brain around n-dimentional branes.
