Have I got a link for the Quantum Physics Fans!

Ever wondered how you can explain all the crazy parallel universes in Sci-Fi books, TV shows and movies? Here's a PBS Nova Special to explain it all very nicely. It is almost three hours but is brilliantly broken into chapters about 5 - 7 minutes long. Man I love PBS!

Nova
The Elegant Universe (Oct. 2003)
Eleven dimensions, parallel universes, and a world made out of strings. It's not science fiction, it's string theory. Watch now (146 mins.)

Hi there Bill!
Yeah NOVA and National Geographic are my faves!
The picture quality of the programs they produce is amazing, especially in HD!

I watched it and really enjoyed it. As a Christian I really wish scientists would let God into the equation but anyway it was really good. I'll have to see what other stuff Nova has to watch.
