The Elegant Universe, Now Available Online

Photon Ghoul writes "PBS has made available online all three hours of the NOVA program on unified theory. Formats are QuickTime and RealVideo with each hour broken up into eight chapters each." I watched the whole thing, and while it's clearly for a lay audience (no math required), it was fun and informative. I was pleased to note that dissenting views on whether string theory was science were presented, and even brief discussion of what constitutes science.

People who use Real Player - try this

You can use this program to watch the video, I hope. I didn't test it, but you can.

You forgot about the part with the ANAL SEX and the ASS RAPE. Those were the best parts.

Dissenting views on Science?

[Laconian]

Are there any dissenting views on Science itself? Because I know there are a lot of Creation Scientists that have an axe to grind with blasphemous atheist constructs like the "Scientific Method". REVOKE PBS' FEDERAL FUNDING! THE STATE IS SQUELCHING RELIGION WITH ITS SECULAR POISON!

Pictures Wrong

I think the pictures between chapter 2 and 3 should be switched. You don't even see chapter's 2 picture in chapter 2. I guess I need to email webmaster@pbs.org.
