---------------
Is string theory right?
Is it just fantasy?
Caught in the landscape,
Out of touch with reality
Compactified
On S5 or T*S3
Space is a pure void
Why should it be stringy?
Because it's quantum not classical
Nonrenormalizable
Any way you quantize
You'll encounter infinity
You see
Quanta
Must interact
Via paths we understand
Using Feynman diagrams
Often, they will just rebound
But now and then they go another way
A quantum
Loooooop
Infinities will make you cry
Unless you can renormalize your model
Of baryons, fermions
And all other states of matter
Curved space:
The graviton
Can be thought of as a field
But these infinities are real
In a many-body
Loop diagram
Our results diverge no matter what we do...
A Quantum Soup (any way you quantize)
Kiss your fields goodbye
Guess Einstein's theory wasn't complete at all!
I see extended 1-D objects with no mass
What's their use? What's their use? Can they give us quark plasma?
What to minimize?
What functional describes this
String?
Nambu-Goto! (Nambu-Goto)
Nambu-Goto! (Nambu-Goto)
How to quantize I don't know
Polyakov!
I'm just a worldsheet, please minimize me
He's just a worldsheet from a string theory
Reperametrized by a Weyl symmetry!
Fermi, Bose, open, closed, orientable?
Vibrations
Modes! They become particles (particles!)
Vibrations
They become particles (particles!)
Vibrations
They become particles (particles!)
Become particles (particles!)
Become particles (many many many many particle...)
Modes modes modes modes modes modes modes!
Oh mamma mia mamma mia,
Such a sea of particles!
A tachyon, with a dilaton and gravity-vity-VITY
(rock out!)
Now we need ten dimensions and I'll tell you why
(anomaly cancellation!)
So to get down to 4D we compactify!
Oh, Kahler!
(Kahler manifold)
Manifolds must be Kahler!
(Complex Reimannian symplectic form)
If we wanna preserve
Any of our super-symmetry
(Superstrings of type I, IIa and IIb)
(Heterotic O and Heterotic E)
(All are one through S and T duality)
(Thank you Ed Witten for that superstring revolution and your new M-theory!)
(Maldecena!)
(Super-Yang-Mills!)
(Type IIB String!)
Dual! Dual!
(In the AdS/CFT)
(Holography!)
Molecules and atoms
Light and energy
Time and space and matter
All from one united
Theory
Any way you quantize...
Lyrics and arrangement by Tim Blais and A Capella Science
Original music by Queen

It breaks my heart, but my reverence for Science is greater than my love of Einstein. Then...Puppet Einstein...and I'm happy again. Masterfully crafted!

    I discovered this song when I was in 10th grade. I was taking physics at the time, sure, but string theory flew so far over my head that I understood a handful of the lines at absolute best - "it's quantum not classical", "Einstein's theory wasn't complete at all", a handful of others. I've listened to it a bunch of times since then and I've discovered a new beauty of the song - every time I came back to it, maybe once a year or a bit more often, I'd understand another line or three. Now I'm a year out of a physics Bachelor's degree, planning on going for a PhD. I've taken general relativity and quantum field theory, but still no string theory. Now I know the significance of "These infinities are real" in the context of the previous verse. But I don't know what T*S3 is. I know what 'complex, Riemannian, symplectic' mean individually, and that when you put them together it's a Kahler manifold, but I couldn't begin to tell you why that's relevant. I can guess what a world sheet is, but not what minimising it means. I understand why modes become particles, but not why Fermi/Bose is related to open/closed. The mathematician Andrew Wiles's quote speaks to me, where he describes mathematics as like "a journey through a dark unexplored mansion - you enter the first room of the mansion and it’s completely dark. You stumble around bumping into the furniture, but gradually you learn where each piece of furniture is. Finally, after six months or so, you find the light switch, you turn it on, and suddenly it’s all illuminated. You can see exactly where you were." I'll get to that light switch, even though it'll have taken 8 or so years to get there.

    T*S3 if I'm not mistaken is the cotangent bundle of the manifold S^3. I'm not sure how familiar with differential geoemtry you are (I myself am not very familiar with it haha) but a single point on a manifold can have a vector tangent to it, you can think of it as a literal arrow tangent to a surface which is how it's defined extrinsically, it can be defined intrisically without talking about the space the manifold is embedded in but it doesnt matter for our purposes. And a point on the manifold can have so many different tangent vectors, all these tangent vectors form a vector space, which is called the tangent space at a point on the manifold (you can think of a tangent plane at a point on a surface as a visual aid). Every point on the manifold can have this tangent space, so every manifold has this whole host of tangent spaces. S^3 is a manifold, it's just a 3-sphere, (basically the *surface* of a 4 dimensional sphere) and it has a whole host of tangent spaces. a single tangent space at a point p can be written as T_pS^3 Now if you take the disjoint union of every tangent space on a manifold, you get a tangent bundle (which is a special case of a bit more complicated object called a vector bundle :D) and this tangent bundle of S^3 is represented by TS^3 i think you now you might see where we're going with this. Now instead of taking the disjoint union of the tangent spaces themselves if you took the disjoint union of the dual of the tangent spaces you get the cotangent bundle of the manifold which is T*S^3 :)

    ​@@mastershooter64 Oh wow, I didn't know that but that makes sense - thanks! I'm familiar enough with differential geometry to know what a tangent/cotangent bundle are (thanks to a GR prof that found great joy in being mathematically rigorous), and now that you say that I understand a bit more. I guess I was partially thrown off by the notation - 'S subscript n' makes me think of the nth symmetric group rather than the n-sphere, and I haven't taken enough topology to make 'compactified' mentally point me to the latter.

    @@mastershooter64 For me it's looking like it's going to be astrophysics, probably some sort of combo of theoretical and computational. As for advice, I'd definitely say to talk with your professors/lecturers outside of class (if they have office hours so much the better) - if you have nothing to ask about the course material, ask about what research they're doing or something. Networking is arguably even more important than academic prowess, and even if it's not something that comes naturally to you, it's one of those things that gets easier with practice. I don't know if this will be a thing at the institution you're going to, but if there are ever organised out-of-class sessions where undergrads can ask grad students for help with problem sets or what have you, go to every single one of those. Also, jesus christ dude, not even in undergrad and you're already doing differential geometry? What on Earth are they teaching you in high school?

    First sentence I was ok with. It's the second that really got me! For reference: "When confined to compact universes which are topologically genus g Riemann surfaces times time, its classical phase space is the cotangent bundle of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces."

This particular presentation is superbly constructed with a superior degree of all around accuracy, such that I was riveted from the first second. I find your substitute lyrics don the original syllabic rhythms and cadences so well that it was a most satisfying listening experience. The fact that you also incorporate relevant and truthful scientific knowledge in an orderly manner into the arrangement is the pinnacle mind-blower that will keep me coming back for more! Quite satisfying indeed...YUM!
