String Theory in Two Minutes

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-meaning-of-life-in-1000-words-or-less dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Most of us have heard of string theory, many of us know what it is and some of us may even be experts in the field. But could you explain it in two minutes?

You can view some of the best entries (video) as well as the winning video: String Ducky!"
