I taped this show the other night on PBS. I just saw a few minutes of it at the end. They were summing up how string theory might never be able to be proven so it may be more philosophy than physics but it might explain the universe. That's my rough recollection of what they said as I was clicking trying to find the end of the show to record something else, no doubt something lighter than than. Anyway, it's still showing. Probably go way over my head but I plan to watch it. You might be interested.
