Anonymous said...: Right. I left school early because my parents were dead.

I have since been a capstan lathe engineer, a service technician, a computer systems engineer, and I have trained myself to do my own plumbing, carpentry, electrical wiring and building work.
I can play musical instruments, sort of.
I can also cook, and I partially understand super string theory. I still don't know what the fuck you are talking about, please explain.; 9 March 2009 at 15:49
Mark Wadsworth said...: RWG, see here.

Can you now do us a fifty word crash course in string theory (which always struck me as complete bollocks, as it happens). Nine or twelve dimensions, I can cope with, but not superstrings.; 9 March 2009 at 15:55

Addendum; projected results agree with actual results at this level, but I suspect the scientists who do the projections may foam at the mouth slightly and swing from light fittings.; 9 March 2009 at 16:28
AntiCitizenOne said...: String theory:
Superstrings exist, they have 12 degrees of freedom for their harmonic twisting, their 3-space shape approximates a ball as you get to the "centre". Strings can be open like a piece of string or closed like a doughnut.; 10 March 2009 at 11:06
