I will explain the connection between Shelah's recent notion of strongly dependent theories and finite weight in simple theories. The connecting notion of a strong theory is new, but implicit in Shelah's book. It is related to absence of the tree property of the second kind in a similar way as supersimplicity is related to simplicity and strong dependence to NIP.
