Welcome to many years ago.
FAO Marc, if this is something you wanted him to see specifically why not PM?
Otherwise say something to the (m)asses. |

Omega M does lurk in some physics forums (Unless I'm confusing him with someone else), so I thought it would be nice to give him a shout out in this thread.
what up dawg |

I liked that video. Thanks :)
just something

Essentially, Calabi-Yau manifolds are shapes that satisfy the requirement of space for the six "unseen" spatial dimensions of string theory |

So I'm guessing this is string theory?
Any book recommendations? :D |

| it's all just theory until it is proven! |

Well an introduction to string theory is The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, which is actually open for download from Google Books.
http://books.google.com/books?q=bri...m=1&sa=N&tab=wp
Very easy to understand because it draws examples from everyday things we see in our world (sandboxes, animals, trains) and parallels them to the theories of the universe.
It's only an introduction because the original String Theory is dead. It ends up there were 5 valid but different ways of interpreting the universe with String Theory. To paraphrase the book:
"5 equally valid theories to our universe. Even if we were to pick one as THE theory, who lives in the other 4 universes?"
The book goes on explaining his work in String theory and ultimately ends talking about its flaws and unification into M-theory:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory
Books about the universe are all I really want to read anymore. As soon as I finish with one, i donate it to the library and 10 minutes later I'm at Border's looking for another. Black holes :) :) :)
I think the best thing about these books that concern the origin of the universe is that they usually do have small comments on God, but NEVER do they outright attack or engage in a Science Versus Religion debate. Most of the time they seem to compliment God for his attention to detail :) |
