String Ducky

The challenge was to explain string theory in two minutes or less. Sandy Chase of New York produced this video and won the contest at Discover Magazine. Link -via Metafilter

    All I heard was particles, atoms and frequencies and didn’t understand any of it. But I’m a bit dumb :P . Although I did think of the multiverse theory when I was 7, without ever hearing of it before – not kidding.

    Is the kooky accent just a bonus, or is that really how Sandy Chase sounds?

    Sandy Chase is a man. I hope that is not his voice.

    I thought it was pretty good. We’re talking bout trying to explain what’s widely accepted as the most advanced and accurate model of Physical Science… and do it in 2 minutes.

    I mean, come on. If you think it’s not that hard, or if you think this particular video was done poorly, why
    don’t you give this little experiment a try:

    Try to explain to a 45yr old man or woman how to play Madden 2007 football on the X-Box Console in 2 minutes. Maybe that will help put in to perspective for you the difficulty with which the above video must have been conceived.

    Good, but scientists are starting to move beyond string theory. Just when I was starting to understand it!

    i dont think they are moving beyond string theory (m-theory) but there is frustration because you can’t test it yet, so some believe it is a waste of time. i think that a lot of it is based on it trying to be the “theory of everything”–think it scares some people
