So tonight's topic is one that has fascinated me ever since I watched an hour long program on the PBS show NOVA . It's called the "String Theory" http://superstringtheory.com/basics/basic4.html.  check it out.  

I wasn't ever interested in basic physics, but this branch sorta "sings" to you (you'll get that once you read the article). 

It's an incredible way to really dig into the question of matter, space and time. Plus it talks about those tachyon particles they mention in the Star Trek series.
