The Elegant Universe.

I've started to re-read "The Elegant Universe". It's hard to believe I first read this in 1999. And now it's a decade out of date. Last month I attended an excellent lecture by the author Brian Greene. The biggest change is that the theory now embraces branes. These are like strings but extended through an extra dimension, making like a rumpled sheet in extended dimensions. I keep thinking it gets curiouser and curiouser.
Curiosity is proof that we're all on this flight together.
