SUMMARY: String theory is acceptable pillow talk with Scully, and there's something unspeakably erotic in hearing about Calabi-Yau manifolds when she's naked.

RATING: NC-17

SPOILERS: None, but I imagined this being early S7-ish.

i just wiki'd 'Calabi-Yau manifolds' and didn't understand the wiki article. you know something is over your head when...

i'm not sure who i'd want to be more at the moment, scully who's this smart, or mulder, who is at a certain liberty with her. intelligent smut is like confections without calories. i want your recipe. mmmm.

Brian Greene has done some wonderful writing on the subject of string theory and does a lot of work on mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds.(I've had Scully read his books in two of my fics, I think. *laugh*) Like Stephen Hawking, he writes in a very approachable way. I can neither confirm nor deny that I have a nerd crush on him.

I agree with you that Mulder's "certain liberty" with Scully is incredibly sexy. It's so much of what I love about their relationship.

Like Stephen Hawking, he writes in a very approachable way.

oh good. i still have 'a brief history of the universe' kicking around waiting to be read, so maybe once i've done that i'll pick up some Greene...something to do for this lent thing i don't follow, perhaps. thanks for the rec.

i've always liked the conundrum of Klein's bottle, which seems to be similar to Calabi-Yau designs. not to mention tesseracts. *grin* gotta love those.

If you enjoy books like those, I also endorse Richard Dawkins' The Ancestor's Tale and Steven Weinberg's classic The First Three Minutes. (Mr. Virgata favors books on economic theory and medieval history, if you want any recommendations there. The Virgata household is so nerdy you could die. *laugh*)

Iolokus (which, as I have said ad nauseum, is my favorite fic) has this very pretty passage about Klein bottles: I wanted to stretch her on a rack so that there would be more of
her, enough of her to surround me the way I surrounded her. I wanted to turn her into a Klein bottle, the kind that only has one continuous surface that is both inside and outside, so that I could touch everything that constitutes Scully. A Calabi-Yau manifold, is actually, very much like a tesseract in Madeleine L'Engle's context. It's a wrinkle (or really, an infinite pattern of wrinkles) into which have been compressed infinitesimally small dimensions beyond the four familiar ones ( ... )

There is a new Theory of Everything Breakthrough. It exposes the flaws in both Quantum Theory and String Theory. Please see: Theory of Super Relativity at Super Relativity Einstein was right!

I will definitely take a look. I'm behind on soooo much reading these days. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions.
