You can never have enough string

Not actually chinese but north korean. The feverish singing type

But who's the one holding the strings behind him? Who's the muppeteer?

It's the fact that we can have discussions like this that makes the forum worthwhile - we've taken in quantum physics, Monty Python and Frank Zappa. Where else would you get that response in a discussion about string?

Peace.



Actually, if you take the norm, out of the string, which are eleven dimensional, it get's a tad longer than one could expect. Put the strings can ofcourse be measured in meters, as there's not a smallest meter yet.

You can find a d>0 so that there's a B(a;d) with a element of the string that the string fits in the entire B(a;d)!

Ain't that awe-alot!
