SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the resource "Calabi-Yau Manifolds for Dummies" found at universe-review.ca, which provides visual aids and essential terminology related to Ricci Flat manifolds. Participants highlight the value of the resource for understanding complex concepts in geometry and theoretical physics. Additionally, the discussion references M. C. Escher's "Circle Limit IV," noted by Leonard Susskind for its representation of negatively curved space, linking it to broader cosmological insights. The resource is recommended for those seeking foundational knowledge in Calabi-Yau manifolds.

In a Google image search image search for "Ricci Flat manifolds" I came up with Calabi-Yau manifolds for dummies at,

http://universe-review.ca/R15-26-CalabiYau01.htm

Lots of pictures and important terms.

Other good stuff there as well, click on home button.

I did and its great! Thanks for the mention.

Currently M. C. Escher's Circle Limit IV is my desktop image for its citation by Leonard Susskind as an illustration of the effect of negatively curved space. Meditating on it I have gained insight into the Big Bang, our universe, and the Mega/multiverse. Now I am ready to move on and find an appropriate image of a Calabi-Yau manifold.
