Much more satisfying presentation, but the speaker does not sound like any theoretical astrophysicist I've encountered. Rather she has taken the point of view of the particle physicist in her search for a grand unifying theory. A wonderfully romantic and idealistic view. Hope she's right, but I doubt it.
