The video tutorial explains the behavior of strings of different lengths and how they align over time. It demonstrates the concept using a visual setup, showing how longer strings move more slowly than shorter ones due to the use of square roots. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the demonstration, highlighting the rules that govern the alignment of strings.
