The Elegant Universe (2003)

Icon: 
DVD icon

Examines one of the most revolutionary theories in physics today - String Theory. String Theory argues that fundamental elements of nature are minute strands of energy, whose different levels of vibration underlie everything in the universe. If this theory is correct, it could mean a universe with many different dimensions, ones that are unseen to our eyes.
