A short and clear explanation, for dummies, of what this mysterious theory is all about.
What are the strings? Why are they needed? When did they appear? Why are they so complicated?
Also, let's figure out if there are hidden dimensions, why supersymmetry is needed, what M-theory is, and get a little closer to answering such global questions as "What is everything made of?" and "How does the universe work?"
