In this video I connect pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus to Brian Greene and other String Theorists, with some music by Mozart along the way! What were some of Heraclitus' theories of the universe? What makes them similar to the modern physics concept of String Theory? String Theory attempts to create something that has since eluded modern physics: the unification of all forces, of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, into one Grand Unified Theory of Everything. But after decades of promises without any evidence to show for it, String Theorists are starting to back away from their decades of research. Why?
