Lecture 6 | String Theory and M-Theory
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
(October 25, 2010) Leonard Susskind focuses on the different dimensions of string theory and the effect it has on the theory. String theory (with its close relative, M-theory) is the basis for the most ambitious theories of the physical world. It has profoundly influenced our understanding of gravity, cosmology, and particle physics. In this course we will develop the basic theoretical and mathematical ideas, including the string-theoretic origin of gravity, the theory of extra dimensions of space, the connection between strings and black holes, the "landscape" of string theory, and the holographic principle. This course was originally presented in Stanford's Continuing Studies program.

17:04 - Oh!!! How can he square vectors?
-
Thank you Stanford and Dr. Susskind for making these videos available. I wish I had known about them 4 years sooner.
-
He was sloppy on the math but still I have enjoyed the series.
-
NO
-
could gravity wave be measured by a pipe filled with water that had compression diaphragms ,gravity waqve relitive to the moon sun /earth ?
-
Holy crap I was able to tell that the Veneziano amplitude was a beta function before he derived it. I feel smart for once in this lecture series. haha :P
-
9:00 - That looks exactly like kirchhoff's first law about electrical currents.
-
The Fineman - pretty much a persons social habits of meetng people by a small to wide berth. Get outdoor to find the magic, outside your comfort zones.... Great explanation Proff

Before you teach be sure what you are doing!!

@arsal09 May he live long and Popper!
