Bohemian Gravity: a different way to introduce string theory

`

Sep 2013: Tim Blais' Bohemian Gravity video may yet become the best-known introduction to string theory. Tim (who's recently completed a Masters degree with Alex Maloney) has entirely rewritten the lyrics to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to explain why one needs strings, does an outstanding a cappella rendition and has created a fantastic montage. And it hasn't gone unnoticed: since posting it on September 16th, the video has made news accross the internet: see the articles and blogs on Scientific American, the Huffington Post, Global News, MSN, National Public Radio, i9o and even on Brian May's website. Congratulations Tim!
