PBS actually has the whole show online. It definitely had some amazing graphics. Chandra, It was the “Elegant Universe” based on his book of the same name. PBS actually has the whole show online.

Anyway, he had graphical visualization of multi-layer parallel universes and potential multiple big bangs - expansion and contraction and repeat cycles. At that time it sounded pretty close to the cycle of yugas in vedas. But string theory itself comes to knots because of it's eleven dimensions and lack of any elemental proof. Suffice it to say lot of astrophysicists don't take it seriously.
