Summary
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/string-theory-and-the-hidden-structures-of-the-universe-clifford-johnsonWhat is everything made of? Thus far, we can break everything in the universe down to a few very small elementary particles. But they fit into strange patterns that are not understood.

At TEDYouth 2012, Clifford Johnson describes these ideas, along with the concept of string theory.Talk by Clifford Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
