The Elegant Universe Complete Series TVRip iNT

As explained by Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe, and demonstrated through informative animations, string theory proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strands of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. Heady stuff, indeed.



Beginning with simple and clear explanations of major concepts of physics, including gravity, electromagnetism, and relativity, The Elegant Universe brings us to the frontier of understanding. Included in this set are two entertaining documentaries examining the life and theories of Albert Einstein, whose breakthroughs make these new discoveries relevant and useful.



Are there really 11 dimensions in the universe? Join author Brian Greene for an engaging, accessible exploration of the latest groundbreaking theory in physics: string theory, a potential "theory for everything." Based on his best-selling book by the same name, this in-depth NOVA production delves into the complexities of string theory with grace, humor and easy-to-follow graphics.



From Einstein's generally accepted laws that govern celestial bodies to the trickier mechanics of atomic particles, string theory attempts to bring the two disparate worlds of physics together. Discover the relatively brief history behind string theory and learn how scientists are coming to grips with the idea of multiple dimensions.



A theory of Everything. That is the holy grail of physics, an ideal state of understanding thought by many, for its sheer audacity, to be unattainable. Yet, as this illuminating documentary makes clear, the ultimate truth may be within our grasp.
