Matter is really just energy oscillations, and the universe really consists of eleven dimensions.

Your best bet is the watch the Nova program The Elegant Universe. It is three hours but it is worth it and provides a watered-down version that easy to digest .

Unfortunately it is broken up into around six minute chunks, but it is free.

@uberbatman—I can’t help but imagine Douglas Adams’ Total Perspective Vortex after visiting your link.
