Dedicated to the NOVA series, The Elegant Universe, this section of the University attempts to communicate to your Mental Body a view of our universe that is based on Pattern, Precision, and Regularity. There is a intelligence, purpose, and reason behind natural laws that give reliability to our life, and the universe in which we live. As Einstein stated, "God doesn't roll dice with the universe."

One of the most ambitious and exciting theories ever proposed—one that may be the long-sought "theory of everything," which 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.

Also known as "superstring theory", the startling idea proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strings of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. The theory successfully unites the laws of the large—general relativity—and the laws of the small—quantum mechanics—breaking a conceptual logjam that has frustrated the world's smartest scientists for nearly a century.

A Theory of Everything? In this excerpt from his book The Elegant Universe, Brian Greene explains why string theory might hold the key to unifying the four forces of nature. A Conversation with Brian Greene 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, and more. Viewpoints on String Theory Leading physicists offer insights—and sometimes conflicting opinions—on the nature and meaning of string theory. Imagining Other Dimensions Our brains may not be equipped to picture ten spatial dimensions, but see if you can get to at least four here.

Part 1: "The Elegant Universe: Einstein's Dream," introduces string theory and shows how modern physics—being composed of two theories that are ferociously incompatible. General relativity, versus, quantum mechanics.
