Take a thrill ride into a world stranger than science fiction

Pushes you beyond the limits of your wildest imagination.

A way of describing every force and all matter

From the birth of time to its final tick—

Our guide to this brave new world is Brian Greene,

And no matter how many times I come here,

Can he help us solve the greatest puzzle of modern physics—

Resolving that contradiction eluded even Einstein,

We may finally be on the verge of a breakthrough.

Tiny bits of energy vibrating like the strings on a cello,

A cosmic symphony at the heart of all reality.

If string theory fails to provide a testable prediction,

Is that a theory of physics, or a philosophy?

Is that string theory is already showing us that

Come from the quest to understand the planets and the stars.

Einstein gave the world a new picture for

But how close are they to fulfilling Einstein』s dream?

Of one of the greatest mysteries of modern science,

Thousands of scientists on the cutting edge of physics

Albert Einstein spent his last two decades

In this modest home in Princeton, new jersey.

Einstein relentlessly sought a single theory so powerful

It would describe all the workings of the universe.

Furiously trying to come up with the equations

Convinced he was on the verge of the most important discovery

Einstein ran out of time, his dream unfulfilled.

Combining all the laws of the universe in one,

Has become the holy grail of modern physics.

And we think we may at last achieve Einstein』s dream

With a new and radical set of ideas called "string theory."

But if this revolutionary theory is right,

String theory says we may be living in a universe

With parallel universes right next door—

An elegant universe composed entirely of the music of strings.

The basic idea of string theory is surprisingly simple.

From the tiniest particle to the most distant star

Unimaginably small vibrating strands of energy called strings.

Can give rise to a rich variety of musical notes,
