I make reference to M Theory (or String Theory) here quite often - unless you’re really up on the latest in theoretical physics you might not understand these concepts. Last year PBS produced an awesome introduction to this topic called The Elegant Universe. The program is based on the best-seller of the same name by physicist, Brian Greene. Greene is also the show’s host and does an excellent job of bringing us up to speed on the past 100 years of physics. Most of what we learned in the classroom is hopelessly out of date. Though the old stuff is still true in many senses - it’s not half as exciting or interesting as many of the new developments in physics today. Watch a preview video clip here.
All of the programs are available to watch online for free. So, take some time to catch up on 100 years of science. You’ll learn big, new words that will impress all of your friends. To start the trip go here:

Thank you very much. The information help me to do my project on String Theory.

That video was bunk.I’ve seen parts of it, but this was just a long-winded preview that didn’t reveal much, if anything.
I know this is your site and all, and I don’t want to be disrespectful, but that was bunk haha.
sorry! but thanks anyways!
