Beautiful! :D

I love reading articles that I don't understand, but give a feel of mystery! Below are two articles (for general populations, so don't worry!) that I read recently that talk about Topology and String Theory (and how the two are connected). I also added a great quote from the first article :D

Physicists often talk about the beauty of math. What does that mean to you?
The first time I saw my wife, I thought she was charming—more than charming, shocking to me. I had great motivation to know her more. When I look at the Calabi conjecture, it shocks me too. It’s an elegant, simple construct and explains a great deal. It’s exciting when you go deeper and deeper into a complicated structure that you can spend most of a lifetime working on. It was shocking when it showed up in physics, and it’s beautiful whether it’s true or not.

The Math Behind the Physics Behind the Universe

The Man Who Plucks All The Strings

One thing I've discovered is that the more you know about science and nature, the more you are in wonder and awe of how much you don't know. How can anyone say that there is a conflict between science and God? For myself, the more I know about science and math, the more I am hesitant to make claims that something cannot be -- to some extent, I am much more willing to believe in things that others would consider surprising.
