Comment: I am pleased to give The Elegant Universe by Bryan Green my highest possible endorsement. This is an exposition of String Theory which is clear, to the point, and as accurate as our present state of knowledge allows. It presents the cutting edge of science, in general, and physics, in particular, in easily understood language which is well suited for the lay public. The show presents science in non-mathematical terms which is easily comprehended by anyone who displays natural curiosity, and who wants to understand more about the Universe in which we live. My background is that of a teacher of Physics, Honors Physics, and AP Physics in an urban high school and as an adjunct professor of physics for two universities. My praise for this exposition by Dr. Green is unbounded. He has produced a show that opens the world of science (and that which may become science) to the non-scientist - a tremendous service to our society.

Summary: Et tu, NOVA?
Comment: Why does every TV documentary made nowadays have to try to look like those crappy Discovery Channel shows? I was so very disappointed in this program. NOVA used to be great, and a friend had told me that this episode was worth watching, but what I found was some interesting facts and interviews ruined by the nauseating repetition of images, the too-quick editing, and the overuse of goofy visual effects and noises that made me give up on the Discovery Channel long ago. What is the point? If I want to have something repeated over and over and over again, I can use my rewind button. But when it's done for me, I have to use the fast forward instead, and that gets really tiresome. If you want an intro to string theory, I'd suggest getting a book instead.

Summary: Commercials, commercials, commercials!
Comment: I very much enjoyed this documentary. However, I am livid at having to watch TV commercials prior to the show starting. If I had known there were that many commercials on the DVD, I would not have purchased it. I would have just waited until it came back on TV, or watched it on the internet.
Very good documentary, but too much advertising and TV commercials on the DVD.

Comment: Este es un video que te muestra algo mas alla de la teoria del big bang las explicaciones son tan simples que resulta increible que pueda ser algo tan complejo, definitivamente lo recomiendo, solo hay un pero y es que no tiene subtitulos en español solo tiene closed caption pero no te arrepentiras !!!
