It's ten dimensions and 26. The strings vibrate clockwise in ten, counterclockwise in 26.

If that seems like a fast reply, I read it in the magazine, OK?

I dreamed I was trapped in an anti-DeSitter space once.

WOW.

This is your brain on S-T-R-E-T-C-H!

Good post, but a little unfair on a Friday night.

Will have to check out her book. This is definitely interesting material! Thanks!

I'm going to read everything she has written, and if I can't understand it, I'll ask her to help me.

Really deep people such as she and I would never quibble over such matters.

If I were a woman, I'd be soooo jealous! Beautiful and brilliant, what could top such gifts? Wouldn't a long lunch with this Lady discussing 'stuff' be a dream come true?
