Description
This is a non-technical rapid course on string theory. Lecture 1 is an introduction to the basics of the subject: classical and quantum strings, D(irichlet) branes and string-string dualities. In lecture 2 I will discuss string unification of the fundamental forces, covering both its successes and failures. Finally in lecture 3 I will review string models of black hole microstates, the holographic gauge/gravity duality and, if time permits, potential applications to the physics of the strong interactions.

oh the horror, the audio is unintelligible for this second lecture. Please repost, if at all possible with a clearer audio stream, as the content is excellent
what a relief!!! the audio clears up at approximately 6 minutes 30 seconds.
