Lessons From General Relativity
1:15:58 - 1:24:35 (08:36)
The observations and evidence supporting the theory of general relativity and the radical nature of this theory can inspire future physicists, and if other related concepts are born out, these can be the first powerful observationally-based pieces of evidence that will advance physics like the Eddington Expedition of 1919.

The path from general relativity to the future of string theory will likely be more torturous and longer.

Summary
The path from general relativity to the future of string theory will likely be more torturous and longer. Observationally-based evidence related to supersymmetry may be the first pieces of evidence to support string theory, similarly to how Eddington expedition supported general relativity in 1919.

The late physicist Richard Feynman is quoted as saying that if you can't explain your work to someone on a bar stool next to you, you don't truly understand it. Physicist Brian Greene shares this mantra when speaking about physics and science to the public.
