Lecture 1, String Theory and M Theory
Help us caption and translate this video on (September 20, 2010) Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. He is a world renown theoretical physicist and uses graphs to help demonstrate the theories he is presenting. String theory (with its close relative, Mtheory) is the basis for the most ambitious theories of the physical world. It has profoundly influenced our understanding of gravity, cosmology, and particle physics. In this course we will develop the basic theoretical and mathematical ideas, including the stringtheoretic origin of gravity, the theory of extra dimensions of space, the connection between strings and black holes, the landscape of string theory, and the holographic principle. This course was originally presented in Stanford s Continuing Studies program. Stanford University: Stanford Continuing Studies Program:
