    I used to see a local band named Calabi-yau. Their sound was kind of a rush-inspired math-rock. Really talented guys. Guitar player got hired by google and moved so the group kind of retired

    Wow, I had no idea the Calabi-Yau Manifold was a real thing. I thought it was just made up for Barotrauma, since that was the only place I heard of it. It sounded Lovecraftian enough so I never questioned it lol

      There’s a great book by Greg Egan called Diaspora that explores the idea that every atom is a Calabai-Yau manifold, and the aperture to a wormhole via Kaluza-Klein handwavery. It’s a bit of a heavy read at times but super interesting.
