Brian Greene: The universe on a string

www.ted.com In clear, nontechnical language, string theorist Brian Greene explains how our understanding of the universe has evolved from Einstein's notions of gravity and space-time to superstring theory, where minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe. (This mind-bending theory may soon be put to the test at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva).TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

Lecture 1 | String Theory and M-Theory

(September 20, 2010) Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. He is a world renown theoretical physicist and uses graphs to help demonstrate the theories he is presenting. 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.

String Theory for the Scientifically Curious with Dr. Amanda Peet

Toronto. February 26 2010 Physicist Amanda Peet, Professor at the University of Toronto explains string theory. String theory, a part of modern theoretical physics, has wiggled its way into the popular consciousness during the past decade. While the details are technically complicated, the basic idea is stunningly simple - that the fundamental Lego blocks making up matter and force are tiny vibrating strings (rather than infinitely small particles). Some people presenting string theory to the public, like Brian Greene, emphasize its mathematical beauty. By contrast, this presentation will focus on the powerful physics motivations for the invention and development of string theory. Ideas on the menu include: explaining the epic clash between quantum mechanics and general relativity, string theory basics, extra dimensions of space, D-branes and duality, the LHC, the origin and ultimate fate of the universe, and the black hole information paradox. This presentation is largely self-contained; no physics or math background is assumed, other than a layperson's curiosity about physical science.

"String Theory" - Director: Zach Gold

The film you're about to watch, an impressionistic, dreamlike interpretation of the spring 2010 collection from Belgian duo AF Vandevorst, worn by model Evelina Mambetova, was created by video artist Zach Gold and stylist David Dumas, and art-directed by Michael Sturgeon. The movie could be the beginning of a whole new genre of entertainment; fashion cinema, a collision of the worlds of design and moviemaking. Gold and Dumas have both been individually involved in similar project before--the former made a short devoted to Issey Miyake, the latter with a film called Cake, which was shown at MoMA--but they are of the same mind when it comes to showing fashion on the big (or small) screen: that the moving image is about to have the same impact on fashion that it had on music in the eighties, when musicians suddenly realized that art-directing a video could enhance not only their songs, but also their image. It's not the first filmic interpretation of clothes, of course; only the other week, David Lynch debuted his sixteen-minute Lady Blue Shanghai, starring Marion Cotillard for Dior. But Gold and Dumas's movie eschews typical Hollywood concerns, like narrative and character motivation, that have driven fashion on film till now in favor of haunting imagery. Their aim was to create what Dumas calls "the subjective experience of fashion." Two people who had a very personal opinion of the project were Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst, whose only involvement was loaning looks from <b>...</b>

Inner space: String theory & the universes' hidden dimensions - Yau Shing-Tung

Professor Yau Shing-Tung gives this lecture entitled 'The shape of inner space: String theory & the geometry of the universes' hidden dimensions' at The Australian National University on 24 November 2010. String theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. The discoverer of these manifolds, Professor Yau Shing-Tung, will describe in general terms how geometry enables the understanding of space time and trace its historical development from the ancient Greeks through Einstein to modern string theory, analysing on the way the contributions of many great geometers and physicists. Professor Yau has been a Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University since 1987 and is the current department chair. Born in Shantou, China, he was educated in Hong Kong and from there moved to the US, where he obtained his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley in 1971, under the great geometer of the 20th century, Shing -Shen Chern. Professor Yau is one of the most famous and influential figures in modern mathematics and has won many major international prizes, including the prestigious Fields Medal of the International Mathematical Union in 1982, the US National Medal of Science in 1997 and earlier this year he was awarded the Wolf Prize.

String Theory Landscape - Alexander Westphal (SETI Talks)

SETI Talks archive: seti.org One of major advances of string theory in recent years was an understanding that vacuum solutions with potentially viable four-dimensional cosmology come in a plethora of an incredibly large and rich 'landscape' of string theory vacua. The number of possible vacua and, in turn, types of Universes, may exceed 10 to the power 1000. This progress was enabled by finding ways to give mass to ('stabilize') the moduli. The moduli are the typically 100 to 1000 massless scalar fields which are associated with deformations of extra dimensions required by string theory. Moduli stabilization also gave rise to the first well-controlled string theory constructions of cosmological inflation, a very early burst of exponential expansion of the universe needed to produce its large scale and spatial flatness. Inflation seeds density perturbations, which are the source of all visible structure in our universe, as well as gravitational wave fluctuations. If the gravitational wave fluctuations are seen (eg by the PLANCK satellite), this would tell us that inflation took place at an energy scale only 100 times belowPlanck scale of quantum gravity and maybe string theory itself. We may then hope for leftover imprints from the fundamental theory in high-scale inflation. Dr. Westphal will show how string theory has been recently found to push towards deviations from quantum field theory results for high-scale models of inflation which produce detectable gravitational <b>...</b>

Chopin's Nocturne in G Minor The presentation was purely philosophical. The title was used mainly to attract those who view things from a scientific approach. Many question how the mobius is used in string theory. People shouldn't question me about the use of the mobius. Instead they should pose their questions to highly educated people like Michio Kaku, Georg Cantor, Aurel Wintner, Joseph Polchinski, etc. Google the term Mobius String Theory and see what you come up with. Read the book String Theory for Dummies by AZ Jones and D. Robbins (Part IV: The unseen cosmos on the boundaries of knowledge) Theists argue with atheists about the existence of god. String Theory experts argue about the mobius strip in string theory. Mathematicians argue about the concept of infinity. I simply found a way to run all of these arguments together in the one concept of G=0 . If the truth be told, I thoroughly enjoy stirring up a hornets nest while sitting back and enjoying the show that ensues. I only know the basics of string theory.
