I love string theory, even though I don't really understand it. Not a problem, as physicists working on it freely admit they don't either. Fascinating that all theories of everything work out when eleven dimensions are postulated.

Currently I'm attempting to plow through Lisa Randall's Warped Passages: Unraveling The Mysteries Of The Universe's Hidden Dimensions (HarperCollins 2005). A fun read by one of the leading theoretical physicists engaged in the work. Also have a few books by Michio Kaku, another physicist who can write engagingly for public consumption.

Didn't realize you are the chairperson of the two most interesting topics here...you graciously put me on your Glyphs list yesterday, String Theory today, please. Thanks.
