Lecture 7 | String Theory and M-Theory
(November 1, 2010) Leonard Susskind discusses the specifics of strings including Feynman diagrams and mapping particles. String theory (with its close relative, M-theory) is the basis for the most ambitious theories of the physical world. It has profoundly influenced our understanding of gravity, cosmology, and particle physics. In this course we will develop the basic theoretical and mathematical ideas, including the string-theoretic origin of gravity, the theory of extra dimensions of space, the connection between strings and black holes, the “landscape” of string theory, and the holographic principle. This course was originally presented in Stanford’s Continuing Studies program.

stanford vids are just awesome. they’re very knowledgeable too.
I am learning a lot from these videos. These is the 7th video and I gained a lot.
There must be a commandment somewhere along the lines of: ‘Thou shalt never take credit for your own actions’
I cannot thank you enough, Stanford and Prof. Susskind, for posting your lectures.
Excellent job Stanford and Prof. Susskind. A lot comes together in lect. 7.
I have been following these lectures and some of your other physics lectures for some time now, well doing the mathematical and other leg work… I can safely say now “I know Kung Fu” Many thanks for this
string cookies
These videos are great! Can I ask an important question? What type of cookies does he eat?
@esy87 Glad you’re enjoying our videos.
Great ! Thank you Prof, You ROCK ! ]:)
and Gratz for 1234th Stanford Video :}
You guys are awsome. So is Mr.Susskind.
Thanks for uploading.
