as a rank amateur, this "blew my mind." the ideas and methods of discovery, first; the partnering world -wise, secondly; the dedication of the second to the first and the resulting information -- DISSEMINATED to know nothings like me. i think these videos must challenge religionists . . .and as for futurists, what say they . . .of :"intimations of immortality" and "God"? Albert Schweizer of Lamborene fame said that Christian Ethics were " transitional." i think this and other studies confirm his much maligned view . . .not that morals are not important but with respect to their religious source(s) of "God" (whatever the term, the language, the interpretation[s]) we are all in for a RETHINK! / / / in college i had only one "hard science" course, chemistry -- it's lasted me All My Life (we used Linus Pauling's text). and i am grateful beyond words. what do scientists say . . .even our first astronaut to the moon spoke of man, mankind, and God/ [Gods] . . .BEYOND the MATERIAL CULTURE OF PRE-Modorn Science.

Relatively simple explanations
Great explanation. Too much reivew of previous parts when a new part is started. The three hours could have easily been done in two hours without loss of explanations.

These PBS science DVDs do an excellent job of getting the science across.
Comments about PBS NOVA: The Elegant Universe DVD:
I bought and read the book after viewing this video. Love the special effects used to communicate big ideas visually as well as with words.

Can't wait for the next series
Comments about PBS NOVA: The Elegant Universe DVD:
A delightful, thought-provoking program which makes perfect use of high-tech video techniques to help the non-scientist grasp (at least somewhat) very difficult concepts.
This program is not for those who closed their minds and shut off their imaginations when they grew up. This is for folks who want to go where they've never been; Brian Greene takes them there, and it's a great trip!
Comments about PBS NOVA: The Elegant Universe DVD:
The string theory (particularly the math involved) is very hard to grasp even for physicists. However the production managed to go around the esoteric nature of the subject using intelligent examples, making it much easy to understand.
I would like to add that since the production is already eight years old and due the fast gathering of new discovers on this area of the research, it could be a good idea to add new DVDs to this serie actualizing the information (sort of collection)
