podcast:: [[The Portal podcast]] guest:: [[Garret Lisi]] topic:: [[string theory]]

• [[Ed Witton]] came and introduced ideas from higher mathematics into physics in the 80s(?)
  • Reason we have three copies of the kind of matter that makes up our world comes fromthe characteristics of the numbers of a 6-dimensional complex manifold found at every point in space and time
  • his endorsement of [[string theory]] kickstarted the movement (according to Eric)
• The stings are not strings per se, but mathemathical constructs, a surface inside another surface. (Garret Lisi)
