Because the winding mode you quaintly refer to as "electron" can't exist in that nucleic calibi yau manifold.

>I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand it very well, but I just don't believe there is a big cosmic conspiracy that created this incredible thing that has nothing to do with the real world.
-Edward Witten
Where are you in your string theory journey?
Have you mastered mirror symmetry and topological string theory yet?
Have you learned whatever the fuck web-based formalism is (https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.04087)?
Thoughts on the implications of AGT?
Should all young string theorists read Lurie's tomes?
Do you think string phenomenology will still be a meme 30 years from now?

My friend here doesn't like your tone. It's all wrong.

I believe this anon is about to have himself a magnetic moment. Hold him down, boys.

>"I'm not sure if I like your tone. It's all wrong. Bitch, you about to have yourself a magnetic moment."

wat do?

OP here, the truth is that this man is trying to kill me. If I don't become smarter and fast, I stand no chance of surviving. Please, I'm desperate!

Actually there's an answer to my question, can't believe I didn't know about fucking Rain Man.

>The missing structures of his brain have yet to be linked to his increased abilities, but they can be linked to his ability to read pages of a book in 8–10 seconds. He was able to split his vision so that each eye reads its corresponding page, allowing him to read both pages at once. He also had developed language areas in both hemispheres, something very uncommon in split-brain patients. Language is processed in areas of the temporal lobe, most commonly on the left side of the head, and involves a contralateral transfer of information before the brain can process what is being read. In Peek's case, there was no transfer ability—this is what led to his development of language centers in each hemisphere.
>He was able to memorize over 9,000 books, and information from approximately 15 subject areas.
>Despite these abilities, he had an IQ of 87, was not diagnosed as autistic, and was unable to button his shirt, and had difficulties performing everyday tasks.

Also there's some new research that directly shits on this experiment.

No idea who fucked up but I guess we still have a long way to go.
