“Microchip manufactures, similarly, cannot make their transistors too thin, or the performance of these devices will suffer from electon leakage due to tunneling effects.”
Shing-Tung Yau, The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

“Although that might seem inconsetuqntial, a 1 percent difference can be significantly big in cosmology. And the recently launched Planck observatory should be able to make spectral index measurements to at least that level of sensitivity.”
Shing-Tung Yau, The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

“A lot of the mathematics discoveries occur through lucky accidents like that, [Calabi notes]. It's often a matter of connecting up ideas that might seem unrelated and then exploiting the newfound connection.”
