These results, as shown by Polchinski and also by Petr Hořava and Michael Green, helped resolve a long-standing puzzle in the comparison of open and closed strings, but over the years, the work attracted limited attention.⁵

5. The mathematically inclined reader should note that for many years string theorists have known that closed strings respect something called T-duality (as explained further in Chapter 16, and in Chapter 10 of The Elegant Universe). Basically, T-duality is the statement that if an extra dimension should be in the shape of a circle, string theory is completely insensitive to whether the circle's radius is R or 1/R. The reason is that strings can move around the circle ("momentum modes") and/or wrap around the circle ("winding modes") and, under the replacement of R with 1/R, physicists have realized that the roles of these two modes simply interchange, keeping the overall physical properties of the theory unchanged. Essential to this reasoning is that the strings are closed loops, since if they are open there is no topologically stable notion of their winding around a circular dimension. So, at first blush, it seems that open and closed strings behave completely differently under T-duality. With closer inspection, and by making use of the Dirichlet boundary conditions for open strings (the "D" in D-branes), Polchinski, Dai, Leigh, as well as Hořava, Green, and other researchers resolved this puzzle.

It's the Dog Day today, so I'm going to keep quiet...

Gone

Been working on this for some time ever since I saw The Nice And Accurate Prophecies week and I just had to join because I'm brain rotting about them.

So here's DAY 1: “And there will be great lamentations.”

Here's a still version of it just so it can hurt more

No ghey make my stomach hurt

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

wanted to share this

There was a short segment where we get to hear Skully J. Graves (like, with the in-game live-2D model) monologue about Halloween. After saying good evening, he opens by… GiIVING YOU a KISS????? He literally announces it: “I greet you with a kiss” or (more directly) “I give a kiss to this good/wonderful encounter”.

The Japanese transcription for the line is 「この良き出会いにキスを。」 and キス is kisu/kiss… LIKE. I know he most likely means just a brief platonic kiss to say hello (similar to the European style where your lips don’t really touch the other person and it’s more like pantomiming a kiss on each cheek)… Or maybe he means a metaphorical kiss, not a literal one??? BUT STILL THAT’S SO BOLD TO START WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH A STRANGER (<- my inner Rollo Flamme comin’ out)

Edit: Now that the event is actually out, we can confirm that he does, in fact, LITERALLY kiss you (on the back of the hand) 😭

first kiss!

It was thus another shock to most string theorists when Witten's paper and an avalanche of subsequent results² led to the realization that string theory, and the M-theoretic framework to which it now belongs, does contain ingredients besides strings.

2. Many physicists contributed significantly to these developments, both by laying the groundwork and through follow-up discoveries: Michael Duff, Paul Howe, Takeo Inami, Kelley Stelle, Eric Bergschoeff, Ergin Szegin, Paul Townsend, Chris Hill, Chris Pope, John Schwarz, Ashoke Sen, Andrew Strominger, Curtis Callan, Joe Polchinski, Petr Hořava, J. Dai, Robert Leigh, Hermann Nicolai, and Bernard deWit, among many others.

Guys I realized you can’t compromise quality time on your core interests without compromising your own core self and fading away as a person . Did you know about this
