The real world is discrete - there are only a finite number of atoms in a piece of any matter - including string. There is a finite distance between atoms, so there is a finite length to the string. All the rest is pseudo-science, mumbo-jumbo built on Platonic idealism. Time to upgrade to reality.

Really doesn't make it easy to watch. Making it understandable okay, but dumbing it down that bad is just horrible.

Get a witty skeptic to say all the things we would say, presented with the seeming silliness of science, and tear down all that you can, to leave what's really worthy of it.Should be done with religion too. Actually, has been. A great approach to science and math teaching.

Actual, measurement of those in the real world does not apply; a coffee cup is equivalent to a donut.

The string is L in length; yes, but I have a different piece of string; so, that's L1 and L2, problem solved. But,....how long is it? It's L.

Very excellent vid and series, I've seen it before. Hopefully, it has encouraged someone, or two, to venture into the incredible realms of maths and science, and help all of us along our journey of discovery.

Then the cat´s consciosness of course make that observation (and the "probabilty waves" break down) before we open the box!! I think it´s strange that no-one in all books I´ve read in this matter ever have understood this! : )(English is not my native tounge...) : D
