Here is a link to the PBS web site. where you can watch the Nova shows.
You get to see and hear the String Theory Pioneers.

I believe the supposed Ed Witten you refer to is consistent throughout the whole program. And it does sort of sound like him too.

i think http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~jhannon/notwitten.jpeg is not ed witten.
he is right before halfway of the 6th segment of the third hour. am i just going crazy? i don t think he looked like ed witten or sounded like him at all...
does anyone else notice that these guys don t look the same?

Ed Witten is a very gracious, soft spoken family guy ...

Can someone answer a question for me about something that was in this show. When they get to the part where the two physicists were trying to get both of the equations to match on the chalkboard, did they say that they somehow found these other dimensions or more so that the other dimensions were required in order for the string theory to function? Because for some reason i remember the latter in which case this theory is more here-say and simply a means to get some equation to work right?

It was so hoakey and cheesey. Not to mention that many of the things they say are completely stupid. There are plenty of intellegent people out there but no more great thinkers. Physicists have forgotten how to think and become obcessed with the math.
