as for the string theory for dummies, if you can get a copy of Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything, there is a good section on physics, rocks for jocks style. Great book too.
Einstein "wasted" a good chunk of his later years searching for a unified theory. I wonder if anyone is any closer today. I'm guessing no. I'll have to hit the library once I am done with exams to find something interesting to read.
I think there is currently a Grand Unified Theory in the works that unifies three of the five forces but not all of them so that's what the string theory does...SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Everything I said above might be complete garbage, and I'm too lazy to look it up. I have officially learned nothing from that seminar.

Currently reading Hawking's A Brief History of Time. It's interesting, especially for someone like me who doesn't know as much about physics/scientific cosmology as I should.
Brian Greene's book is fantastic - highly recommended.
As I understand it, the collection of what we know about the universe is called "the standard model". Currently, the standard model works for 3 of the 4 forces (electromagnetism, weak force, strong force) but it does not adequately explain gravity. Gravity is much weaker than the other three and people aren't sure why.
