概要 | Yau (mathematics, Harvard) and Nadis, a science writer and editor at Astronomy magazine, describe Yau's explorations into mathematics and his discovery of hidden six-dimensional shapes called Calabi-Y...u manifolds, their features, the math that led to their discovery, the reasons string theorists find them intriguing, and whether they hold the key to the universe. They discuss the previous work of Plato, Einstein, and others in the field of geometry; Yau's work on the manifolds and in proving Eugene Calabi's ideas; its impact on math and physics; the characteristics of string theory; and what these extra dimensions mean for the universe.
