String Theory Explained in a Simple Equation
34:40 - 41:41 (07:01)
The theory of string theory can be summed up by an equation that is an inch and a half long. However, if a new equation is discovered that is more powerful, researchers and physicists will continue to explore and pursue it.

Christian theologians around the year 1900 faced a problem when telescopes became more powerful and they couldn't find heaven anywhere.
34:40 - 35:49 (01:08)
Summary
Christian theologians around the year 1900 faced a problem when telescopes became more powerful and they couldn't find heaven anywhere. As a result, they explained that heaven exists in hyperspace or higher dimensions.

According to string theory, the shortest distance is given by the energy content of the smallest distance, which is believed to be the Big Bang.
35:50 - 37:54 (02:03)
Summary
According to string theory, the shortest distance is given by the energy content of the smallest distance, which is believed to be the Big Bang. Movement is impossible because it requires going through an infinite number of points, which takes an infinite amount of time.
