The first part was the upbeat section where we can use string theory to help understand some of the mysteries in the standard model. I was worried that it would end as if string theory and super-symmetry had solved some/most of these mysteries.

Then it was good to see the emphases on problems within these new theories and how difficult it is and will be to measure and understand them from our four-dimensional world.

The creator has done a whole series of videos on quantum mechanics. Really good. I will post it later after I have watched it.
