... Each Of The 24 Modes In The Ramanujan Function Corresponds To A Physical Vibration Of A String. Whenever The String Executes Its Complex Motions In Space-time By Splitting And Recombining, A Large Number Of Highly Sophisticated Mathematical Identities Must Be Satisfied. These Are Precisely The Mathematical Identities Discovered By Ramanujan.

The Strength And Weakness Of Physicists Is That We Believe In What We Can Measure. And If We Can't Measure It, Then We Say It Probably Doesn't Exist. And That Closes Us Off To An Enormous Amount Of Phenomena That We May Not Be Able To Measure Because They Only Happened Once. For Example, The Big Bang. ... That's One Reason Why They Scoffed At Higher Dimensions For So Many Years. Now We Realize That There's No Alternative.

I Don't. We've Had Three Technological Revolutions That Have Changed The Course Of Human History, All Driven By Physics. In The First, The Industrial Revolution, Physicists Developed Newtonian Mechanics And Thermodynamics, Which Gave Us The Steam Engine And Machine Power. The Second Technological Revolution Was The Electricity Revolution. That Gave Us Radio, Television, And Telecommunications. Then, Physicists Developed The Laser And The Transistor.
