Imagine a Britain Led by Monty Python

Eric Idle, a member of the comedy troupe Monty Python, and John Major, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, both turn 70 years old today. On the occasions of their mutual birthday 20 years ago, Idle wrote to Major to convey his compliments. Say no more, say no more.

If only Idle's speculation was true, then at last the Ministry of Silly Walks would get the funding it deserves.

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.

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.

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
