“Based
on Brian Greene’s
book, this three-part Nova program should do for physics what Cosmos
did for astronomy. Greene hosts the program on the relative new concept
of String Theory, a potential (and explosive) answer to the Holy Grail of
science: a single, ultimate theory for everything. Part of Greene’s (along
with filmmakers Julia Cort and Joseph McMaster) genius is the ability to
explain complex issues with ease thanks to a generous helping of graphics
and humor. It starts with a perplexing anecdote: Einstein died trying to
figure out if there could be an ultimate theory. His General Theory of Relativity
brought order to the laws of large objects, but could not explain the chancier
world of Quantum Mechanics (which deals with atomic particles). String Theory
tries to marry the two. Greene and many colleagues give us a history of
the quest and how String Theory was “discovered” in the 1980s. The formula
has a lot of quirks, the most dazzling being the insistence there’s 11 dimensions
in the universe. Greene is not as natural as Cosmos creator/host
Carl Sagan, but he is certainly friendly and encouraging (albeit it’s quite
odd for the host to be interviewed at various times in the program). Because
it’s a three-part show, there is some overlap at the start of hours 2 and
3.” — Doug Thomas
