Review title: Explaining string and m theory, branes, 11 dimensions and alternative universes
Product review: I read Brian Green's The Elegant Universe and bought this NOVA DVD to help further explain certain parts of String and M Theory. The DVD was entertaining and the book was just as good. Either separately would of been sufficient. There are lots of good, pretty artwork on the DVD but the artwork really does not help a lot in String and M Theory explanation, but its entertaining. Learned no new information from the DVD after reading the book. The Nova DVD is a little less dry and may keep a casual String and M theory observer interested longer.I rate the DVD a 4 star and Brian's book The Elegant Universe a 3 star. If you prefer watching a movie, plus Brian keeps it a little simpler get the NOVA DVD. If you like reading ( a little harder to understand String and M theory , the 11 dimensions, branes and alternative universes) get the book. Both are recommended but you don't need both.
