After all, <i>the Elegant Universe</i> was Greene's first try. So, especially if you have enjoyed <i>the Elegant Universe</i>, I sure do recommend <i>the Fabric of the Cosmos</i>! Take my word for it. I found the Fabric of the Cosmos in that it went through more details, more aspects and hence delivered quite a lot more information.

Obviously this is not your high school geometry. I can't imagine how the hell the guys in the pre-computer days, came up with those other methods. If you like this stuff Nikita, then I highly recommend the book "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Green. Its about string theory and is a fast read even to a layman such as myself. There is also a PBS series on it if you live in the states. I am so glad I am not the only math nerd around… j/k

I think if I didn't know anything about it, this would make it so easy for me to understand what's going on. There should be more movies like these! It's a great educational tool.
