| NOVA Launches String
Theory Companion Site |

| Parallel universes?
Eleven dimensions? A world made entirely out of strings? It's not
science fiction. It's string theory. NOVA has teamed up with New York animation
artist Odd Todd to capture the underlying humor of the ever-elusive Theory
of Everything, which may be found in a revolutionary set of new ideas called
string theory. |
| . |
The Elegant
Universe web site explores whether tiny strings vibrating in eleven
dimensions could be the ultimate explanation for everything.
One of the most ambitious and exciting
theories ever proposed—one that may be the long-sought Theory of Everything,
that eluded even Einstein—gets a masterful, lavishly computer-animated
explanation from bestselling author-physicist Brian Greene, when NOVA presents
the nuts, bolts, and sometimes outright nuttiness of string theory, on
"The Elegant Universe," a groundbreaking three-hour miniseries airing Tuesdays,
October 28, 2003, from 8 to 10PM and November 4, from 8 to 9PM on PBS (check
local listings).

The series host says we may not
be smart enough to ever fully understand the universe, he'd like to know
now if string theory is wrong.
Imagining Other Dimensions
Our brains may not be equipped to
picture ten spatial dimensions, see if you can get to at least four.
