NOVA- The Elegant Universe

A while back I wrote a review on Brian Greene's book called "The Elegant Universe" I was a bit harsh on it because it failed to really capture my interest while reading it. But today I found a series of videos that really portray String Theory in an entertaining way. The video's are cropped down into 7-10 minute chapters and can be found here:

There are 3 hours worth, and each hour is broken into several chapters if you're interested in taking them in piecemeal. Wish I could embed directly into the blog, but the videos are protected, so the link above will have to suffice.

I do have to admit, Brian hasn't completely pushed aside his characteristic cheesiness, but the videos are entertaining nonetheless! Much faster than reading the book that's for sure. Read my review of the Elegant Universe here.
