| Nov 2, 2010 at 21:20 | comment | added | Vortico | Greene's book has already been mentioned, but Nova's The Elegant Universe is a somewhat informative 3-hour video series. Obviously, to truly understand the theory's progress, years of mathematics and physics must be studied, preferably at a university. | |
| Nov 2, 2010 at 20:28 | comment | added | j.c. | I think it's safe to say that a person won't really get anything useful out of such an explanation if he or she doesn't have some background in (quantum) field theory. | |
| Nov 2, 2010 at 19:36 | comment | added | Noldorin | I'm tempted to answer: with much difficulty, in a highly qualitative way, and only by reading a fair-sized book. There are many decent pop-sci books on string theory; I can't remember the names of any I read, but I'm sure someone can recommend one or two. | |
