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.
