Inner space: String theory & the universes' hidden dimensions - Yau Shing-Tung

[ImTheHaloGod]

Calabi-yau spaces are important in string theory, where one model posits the geometry of the universe to consist of a ten-dimensional space of the form M x V, where M is a four dimensional manifold (space time) and V is a six dimensional compact Calabi-yau space. They are related to Kummer surfaces.

who's blocking my honest comments?

okay so physicists have discovered molecules, then they discovered atoms, and within an atom they discovered a nuclei with nucleons i.e. protons and neutrons inside the nuclear shell and electrons orbiting this shell. inside protons and neutrons, they've discovered other particles including quarks. and now they're suggesting these quarks and everything in this universe is comprised of extremely tiny vibrating strings. here's the ultimate question: HOW FAR DOWN DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO?

@FallofDarkness55

Your intepretation is absolutely wrong!

It seems that you are still thinking in the classical way!

"electrons orbiting this shell"---this is not true.

In quantum mechanics, there is no orbit.

They could be detected by chance. Their appearance in different places are governed by probability. They are not just orbiting in the shell, there is no such shell.

@FallofDarkness55 Answer is, forever. You can never answer a question with an absolute answer. It is how the universe is, our logic runs like that.

...

This rabbit hole ends at: the two opposite directions of a line meet/intersect each other in the eternity; however they have already met at the point on it in the middle of our horizontal and vertical amidst. The string is a reality and not so far or deep but is the light of GOD.

@parabelic Fine waffle, very fine waffle.

He is a brilliant guy. But his lectures, at least this one, is not very clear. Read his book. No one has ever written about sophisticated mathematical ideas is such a lucid fashion that even the average lay person can understand. This book trumps Hawking's book. But be ready to think, not just read, your way through the book.
