On WNYC, Prof. Janna Levin talks about the "nature of the universe"

"Does the universe have ten dimensions, as superstring theory proposes, or eleven, as M-theory holds? Studio 360 will settle the nature of the universe once and for all – by reasoned argument, jokes, or wrestling if necessary.  Comedian Reggie Watts and astrophysicist Janna Levin go to the mat; Kurt Anderson referees.  It’s an evening of live performance and geeked-out conversation as science and creativity collide."
