SBS 2 Tonight "The Elegant Universe"

Just a heads up. 7:30 tonight SBS2 is showing part two of Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe". It's been on before a few years back and the DVD has been available for quite a while, but there may be some out there who haven't seen it.

Tonight's episode deals with string theory...

Cheers,

Hi Neil,

Thanks for that. String Theory? Hmmm. I gotta see that.

Cheers Marty

If they think I am going to understand something on string theory, they can get knotted

Hi jjj, and All,

Most of these DVDs about the Universe and including last night's program are available from the ABC shop, JB Hi Fi and Dymock's.

I just may add to my library.

Hi Neil,

I watched that program. I'm more confused than ever before. Six dimensions? That's on top of the three spatial and the fourth (time).
My brain hurts. But I did find it interesting. Now I want to see the rest of the series.

Cheers Marty
