@bjornd.al: Esoteric Meme Breakdown Episode 53: if Calabi-yau manifold had WhatsApp #memebreakdown #education #calabiyau #stringtheory #math

Aaryan :

There is like max 10k people alive who understand this🥀😭

GiantEnemyCrab :

Making sure to attend 3 string theory lectures before I browse reels so I can laugh at the memes

Sefca :

Who is making these memes 😭

Boss Paper :

This is one of the more difficult ones

Soapy Bird :

that's just what I was thinking

alelhio_5🇻🇦(fake) :

analyze this instead

Adeel :

whowlw :

yay finally I love this picture so much

varya :

“you need to nerd out” okay it’s all yours bud

keiry :

right right

The Petersson metric gets angry because it diverges near the boundaries of moduli space so it can't define distances properly when the Calabi Yau manifold approaches a degenerate shape

Luca :

I’m no expert in this specific thing so please if any other mathematician/physicist that knows better is around feel free to correct me. Regarding the Weil-Petersson metric: you can construct geometric spaces, you can think of them as surfaces, such that each point on those spaces correspond to essentially different objects. For example, I can construct a space for which each point represents a substantially different (meaning that if I have 2 triangles such that one is the reflection of the other, I call them substantially the same triangle) right-angle triangles (or more general triangles), by this I mean is that if I pick a point on this space I can give you a specific triangle (i.e. with specific length for each side/specific angle for each corner). These spaces are called Moduli Spaces (or Teichmüller space, but that’s beside the point). One can construct a Moduli space for Calabi-Yau manifolds, each point representing different types of Calabi-Yau. On this space we can define a (Kähler) metric, a mathematical object that records di distance between different points, you can think of it as a way of measuring how much different are distinct Calabi-Yau. However, there are some kind of Calabi-Yau manifolds, on the boundary of the Moduli space, that are “bad” and the metric (called Weil-Petersson) is ill-behaved there, maybe divergent.

🐉eekay :

i once learned of this in young sheldon

kairound2 :

I always feel like a smart dude until someone starts talking advanced math

Indigo :

someone out there laughed as soon as the image popped up

Igor Lemes :

as a mathematician, this esoteric meme breakdown makes me very happy lol

TheLongestDark :

took the words right out of my mouth

simeon 🦀 :

you know it's a truly esoteric meme when the explanation has to pull up nLab pages

uncle_wheeze :

I thought Manifold was a Minecraft youtuber

Boopbeep :

Rxunds :

“Someone let me if you know what this means” dude we just as lost as you lol

Citizen 2664 :

where do you find these? is there a subreddit? and where do you get the explanation from?

sunnymoons :

i understood this because I watch young sheldon clips on this app

Joli ☻♡ :

I understood like 2 of the words you just said

AFI :
