Thanks for the link. Curious stuff..

I watched like 4 hours yesterday in my living room. I copied the videos to have them forever! Obviously I am not going to dive into it as it is only a theory and is very frail at this point, but....it kinda makes me wanna be a physicist.

I used to like physics too until I started studying for university entrance exams of physics That killed my interest forever...

As for a theory of everything: I think it's impossible in principle. The concept itself would lead to paradoxes once you try to formalize it...

How dare you question Einstein?! hehehe

I think that whether it would be "the theory of everything" or not - it is worth developing.

This basically suggests that everything in the physical world is basically a vibration! I feel like I learned a lot about General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics anyway.

It's about time they find some unifying theories, but calling it "theory of everything" will only scare away serious scientists...

It sounds very...ambitious.

What do you think about the vibration thing? It seems so strange.

Also, the 11 dimentions instead of 4?!

Just the obvious strange things...there was more that surprised me.

Quantum mechanics deals with infinite-dimensional spaces too. Nothing terribly new in this "everything theory", and it seems there's more talk there than actual science, but I can't be sure until I really look into it

[ArmoBarbi]

Oh of course its talk. It cant really be tested with our current knowledge/technology. Its still interesting talk.

I wanted to talk to my mom about it, but she fell asleep...
