Yup.

Last Christmas I read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. It talks about all this stuff and is an excellent, layman summary as to the current state of these theories.

I don't know where Tolkien got most of his ideas from, Scott. That was interesting. I'm not much on my literary history. I found the idea and the connections kinda fun though.
