Lecture 1 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. In this lecture, he begins by describing the theory of reductionism and then goes on to tell why string theory and other modern theories spell the end of reductionism.

Lecture 2 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind describes the special theory of relativity and focuses on showing how it connects to string theory. He considers concepts such as space-time and some of Einstein's original concepts.

Lecture 3 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind uses the most complex math that will be used in the course with the hopes that it will give a better idea of how a black whole works mathematically.

Lecture 4 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on the geometry of a black hole near the horizon. He describes how standard concepts from quantum physics can explain the physics that occur at this point.

Lecture 5 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses again on black holes and how light behaves around a black hole. He uses his own theories to mathematically explain the behavior of a black hole and the area around it.

Lecture 6 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on how string theory gives a resolution to the question regarding the entropy in a black hole.

Lecture 7 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that continues the theory behind calculating the entropy of a black hole.

Lecture 8 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that dives into the idea of cosmic horizons as well as the relationship between ultraviolet and infrared light.

Lecture 9 Topics in String Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on the mechanisms that make the universe hot.

Lecture 1 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. He is a world renown theoretical physicist and uses graphs to help demonstrate the theories he is presenting.

Lecture 2 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind discusses how the forces that act upon strings can affect the quantum mechanics. He also reviews many of the theories of relativity that contributed to string theory today.

Lecture 3 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind reviews harmonic oscillators, the spin of massless particles (photons and gravitons), the low lying spectrum of strings, the tachyon problem, and the basics of string interactions.

Lecture 4 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. During this lecture he focuses on closed string theory as opposed to open string theory.

Lecture 5 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind delivers a lecture concerning plonck variables and how they relate to string theory in the context of modern physics.

Lecture 6 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind focuses on the different dimensions of string theory and the effect it has on the theory.

Lecture 7 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind discusses the specifics of strings including Feynman diagrams and mapping particles.

Lecture 8 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind covers the history of path/surface integrals; conformal mapping; application of conformal mapping in string scattering.

Lecture 9 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the constraints of string theory and gives a few examples that show how these work.

Lecture 10 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind continues his discussion on T-Duality; explains the theory of D-Branes; models QFT and QCD; and introduces the application of electromagnetism.
