The Elegant Universe

Don't really know why... but for some time now I am more and more interested in physics in general and more specifically in quantum mechanics and string theory... all though this is far away from my field of expertise.

I have been doing a lot of research on the internet... reading a lot of materials... watching a lot of documentaries on this subject... and the more I read the more I want to find out more... It's quite addictive...

Now you would think... why is this so interesting... well maybe because they (the scientist) over time came up with many theories to explain how various things work... mechanics, therodynamics, electromagnetism etc. ... but why are there so many theories and not one to explain everything... why does it have to be so complicated? So they tried to put up a theory (and to demonstrate it) about everything around us... one single theory that rules everything that is happening around us and within us... from the highest level (universe, galaxies etc.) to the smallest level (atoms, particles etc.).

For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about here I recommend that you start by watching this very interesting 3 hour documentary: The Elegant Universe. I explains some of the theories up to the string theory and the birth of the string theory (the theory of everything).

Well I'm going back to my research... Hope I got you interested on the subject :)
