I suppose if one had never heard of the theory, then these videos ought to help give a basic outline of what it is about (which is what I had to begin with).

Btw, I wouldn't say these videos "explain" string theory. The just describe what it kinda looks like.
Still haven't had a chance to watch, as my home time lately has not been in front of a computer. But, that's about what I expected - a primer for the initiate. I just thought that the brevity angle was interesting.
