The Elegant Universe - String Theory (6/11)

A three hour program in three parts for television broadcast in late 2003 on the PBS series NOVA.

The Elegant Universe

Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory

Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modelling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings. Superstring theory is a shorthand for supersymmetric string theory because unlike bosonic string theory, it is the version of string theory that incorporates fermions and supersymmetry.

What if the vibrations are really strong... Could it break the string?... suppose theres a supernova -a star explotion- could it breake the strings and breake the atom?... or maybe the universe will be so big that the srtings would separate and it wont be any body...
