Hey all,

I was just watching "The Elegant Universe" on PBS (it is an episode of Nova), and they had some graphics that represented the appearance of the "strings" in string theory.

Fascinating stuff!

It occurred to me that these graphics looked a lot like something that might be doable in Quartz Composer as a screen saver.

Has anyone seen this episode, and if so, do you have any idea where to find a clip or picture of what these graphics looked like?

I can take a quick movie file (.mov quicktime), but I don't have anyone to host it for me...

i think it would be a cool looking screen saver!

Thanks,
Jeff

I was trying to study for a test one day last fall when this came on. The studying stopped for the duration of the show, but it was sooo worth it
