Went to a very interesting lecture by Dr Mark Lewney on guitar and string theory. Catch it if you can.

...Dr Lewney will then show how the vibrations of guitar strings might be applied to the particles we're all made of, but with a twist: the strings vibrate in extra dimensions. Charming stories and mind-bending animations are used to try to get the audience to think in 4, 5 or even 11D. This introduction to Superstring Theory shares the wonder and excitement of such grand scale, cutting edge physics.
