    Grid Video
In summary, there is a video by Prof Wilczek titled "The Grid" available on the Microsoft Research website and also on Apple iTunes. It is suitable for those with a basic science knowledge and discusses his theory of the Grid. Additionally, there is a book titled "The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether and the Unification of Forces" by Wilczek that can be found on Google Books.
