[S]tring theory requires exactly ten dimensions to be consistent, no more and no less ….

Geometry, as it appears in physics, might be a phenomenon that’s “emergent” rather than fundamental.

[Calabi-Yaus] are alive and well and, if not living in Paris, are at least still prominent ….

In the end, the search for a simple, all-encompassing theory of nature amounts, in essence, to the search for the symmetry of the universe
