Dean-Barr’s lecturer, a prominent physics type, took one hard long look at the Calabi-Yau spaces and was awestruck at how utterly sciencey they seemed to be. He used his not inconsiderable influence in the science world to get a paper on the shapes published, drawing worldwide attention to the new phenomenon. Intense work began immediately all over the globe, in an intense effort to discover just what the fuck these shapes could be. However, after 60 years of research with no results, many now believe that the truth about Calabi-Yau spaces is so far beyond us that we might as well give up and just get high instead.
