Please welcome the new addition to the blog. The cartoon strip “Comic strings”. Watch the adventures of Noodle and Roper as they navigate all matters stringy and physicsy. If you don’t get the joke, have someone else explain it to you. I migt have some extra side commentary in the comment secction.
Ok, fixed it so that if you click on the image, it opens up so that you can read the whole thing. Beforehand it was so small that I couldn’t read it well.
I don’t quite get it. It must have something to do with the U(1) gauge field of the open string and the endpoint (the head) that couples to that field but I don’t see how this is connected to M-theory. I’ll have to think more about it.
Giotis:
I don’t know if you realized that mispronouncing EM sounds really similar to M…
Ha Ha!:-) Now I feel stupid. I really didn’t get it.
I look forward to your knots’ Berry phase. If a left-handed and a right-handed overhand knot are tied on a string, can they be opened, merged, and cancelled to obtain the unknotted string? What about figure-eight knots?
Two strings walk up to a bar. The first string walks in and orders and the bartender throws him out and yells “I don’t serve strings in this bar. The other string ruffs himself up on the street and curls up and orders. The bartender shouts, “Hey, didn’t you hear what I told your buddy?”
The string says “Yeah.”
The bartender says, “well, aren’t you a string?”
The string says, “No, I’m a frayed knot…”
Ehm: theory was giving predictions for experiments at least since 1687 when Newton published Principia.
Hi Bee:
If I want to do that I have to pay for it.
Notice how this was resolved for episode 2.
