String Theory

So, my physics instructor got bored today and decided to introduce our class to this today for fun.  My AP Physics teacher went over it for like a week in High School at the end of the year to take some time and I was wondering if anyone else on NS has ever looked at this.

I know it is wikipedia but it has the very basics of it.

It all makes sense until you get to the whole infinite amount of parallel universes part.

im not sure i can handle 11 dimensions and new math and physics coming together either.  Those are both tough enough as it is, haha.

It kinda deals with that proverb idea that a Butterfly flapping its' wings in China will cause a tornado in the States.  Basically, that everything is connected in some way.  Nothing is coincidence.  It takes the two sides of physics, the very big and very small of physics and connects them all together.

man this guy is the best, he will explain all of this in a more reasonable way, i think i've watched every single video of him on youtube, his words will blow your mind.  Heres for the string theory even though he has move videos of other crazy interesting stuff if you got the time!

I saw Brian (sp?) Green talk about it, very interesting guy. Met him afterwards and talked for a little bit, he seems chill.

I wish I could take a class just on this. This is THE most interesting thing to me. More than skiing, girls or breathing. In that order.

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and whatnot. I think we will get the answer sometime... not in my lifetime, but in the next few hundred years we'll have it pretty much figured out...

the explanation i got was that its the theory that every possible outcome of every single situation in the universe is being played out in different dimensions.they figured it takes about 11 dimensions i dont know if that makes sense...
