My brane isn't big enough to understand this.

String theory is fascinating.

I first saw articles on it a couple of years ago now almost every monthly I pick up has something on it.

BTW I find intelligent women extremely sexy.

How does this square with Hypersphere Packing?

I thought I'd read about a 24 dimension theory some time back?

She was at Princeton, and there's no mention of Witten in the article? (Not that it is required but...)

I caught a bit of her on CSPAN - she was giving a talk in NYC - the contrast between her looks and the freakshow that was her audience was amazing. The audience looked like people had all just walked out a Larsen Far Side cartoon!

Some of the papers Lisa Randall has written (alone and with others):

Search results for "Lisa Randall" at arXiv.org

Reading the abstracts is fun...

Quantum physics is shortly going to prove that evolutionists and creationists could BOTH be right, at the same time. Then the real fun will begin.

“We will see which one of these ideas from the last 25 years is right,” Arkani-Hamed says.

2007, eh?

I don't pretend to be a theoretical physicist, but this jabber about string theory just feels wrong. It's like Copernicus being forced to define a geocentric solar system. It can be done, yes, but only by torturing the numbers to fit the concept. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is the opposite, the simplest mathematical route. But it just doesn't seem right to me, for whatever that's worth.

It would be interesting to see a version of this "for Dummies." I think I could grasp the concepts, although I admit the theoretical math eludes me.

Real understanding of how gravity works could initiate a technology revolution as great as that from understanding how electricity works.
