I thought the same thing. Thinking about seeing my entire life depresses the hell out of me for some reason.

It loses me at 5 because I'm a determinist.

I heard our third dimension is the same as Japan's sixth dimension...

That was cool, thanks.

I guess "women's lib" didn't fix the problem after 50 years.

Yea. String theory is not physically verifiable as of yet. It's just a lot of math on a piece of paper. It's not even really much of a theory. It will probably fade away and die before it becomes that "theory of everything" physicists are trying to figure out.

Well, M theory has pretty much revised string theory into an internally consistent model of the universe that so far hasn't been found to conflict with anything in accepted physics.

But whatever, this flash thingy really has nothing to do with string theory, and it doesn't seem to have any basis in actual physics. It's more pop sci-fi than anything.

This is what I was suspecting, but its still rad.

all i thought while watching this was "god i love my mobius strips" and yah that was cool, not a ton of new information, interesting having it all dumbed down and animated though.

is it just pop scifi-y? then whats the actual current theory?
