 Great Explanation of Superstrings and More! August 23, 2008
I am an engineer by education and experience. Like many engineers I am fascinated with the subject of quantum mechanics, superstrings, hidden dimensions, the quest for the theory of everything, parallel universes and more. Much of it isn't easy to understand, but it sure is fun!br /br /For years I had been hearing about superstrings. I have read In Search of Schroedinger's Cat, Schroedinger's Kittens, books on Einstein's theories, and more. I have also read articles on these subjects, watched several amazing TV shows and movies. Some teased the idea of superstrings, but I never came away with a feeling that the concept had been explained properly. br /br /Brian Green's book the Elegant Universe, and the subsequent PBS show does just that! It gives the best explanation of superstrings I have read (and seen) to date. Green also does a great job explaining parallel universes, hidden dimensions, quest for the ultimate theory and more.br /br /The Re-Discovery of Common Sense: A Guide To: The Lost Art of Critical Thinking
 Shockingly poor and trite May 26, 2008
The meaningful content of this 2 DVD set could have condensed into one 20min segment. The repetition in this set is astonishing. Take away the mind-numbing repeated intros, adverts for VW, Microsoft etc and constant revisions of what was said just minutes ago and you are left with a vacuous, boring and childish presentation of one of the most interesting aspects of science and life.br /Given the other reviews I was actually shocked at how poor this is.br /
Fantastic December 11, 2007
This is one of the best DVDs I have ever purchased. Even my mother who never ever studied physics could understand something as complicated as String theory and Brian Greene did a fantastic job and trust me this is the least I can say.
A very good documentary! January 10, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
A great production of NOVA based on the best-seller book of Brian Greene. This is a very ingenious documentary of physics with an excellent animation made of great special effects that helps you to visualize the physical ideas, like for example, the fabric of space-time. With the help of great interviews with many important physicists like Steven Weinberg, John Schwarz, Michael Green, Ed Witten, Jim Gates,..., Brian Greene explains to the public the basic ideas of general relativity and quantum mechanics, then the conflict between them and finally the string theory itself, the promising ultimate theory of Cosmos. The part I of this three-part show is in my opinion the best one because it presents a very good historical introduction of the development of physics and explains the main ideas of newtonian gravitation, general relativity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics in a very simple way. As a physicist I obviously didn't learn nothing new but I enjoy very much to watch this three-part show and I recommend it to everyone.
