This commentary is designed for fascinated non-majors who interested in discussing topics like the origin of the universe and whether supersting theory is provable - after all it's still a theory!   We welcome feed back from other fascinated readers of  authors like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Green and Leanord Susskind. Our goal is to make theoretical and quantum physics concepts more understandable, and to create an ongoing discussion of this facinating field.

I just finished reading Stephen Hawking's, the Univers in  a Nutshell. It stretched my mind almost as much as the fourth dimension of time. But seriously, it was an excellent book that somewhat demystified Einstein's Theory of Relativity. He had me until "A Brane New World". I think I'm going to re-read that section. Hawking posits that Time and the Universe have a malleable shape and argues that it's yet another dimension that we do not quite understand.
