Have uh I have um Rogers, a colleague in Oxford, and I've known him on and off for a number of years, but that's when we've really started getting working together.
Um that's totally fine.
I mean, I'm not a I'm I'm not a diehard string theorist and you know, I'm just generally interested in the interface between mathematics and physics.
And you know, Roger's total chill, totally chill with that.
So
Exactly, and vice versa.
I I just completely chanced on this.
Um, it was kind of interesting.
You know, I was recently giving a a talk, uh, a public lecture in Dublin about the interactions between physics and mathematics.
And I still find that just, you know, string theory is still a very much a field that gives the best cross-disciplinary, you know, kind of feedback.
And it's been doing that for decades.
Um it's it's a fun thing.
You know, I talk to my friends in uh in pure mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry.
One hundred percent of them are convinced that string theory is correct.
Because it it's for them it's inconceivable for for a physics theory to give so much interest in mathematics.
And that's kind of a I think that's a story that hasn't been told so much, you know, in the in the in in media.
Um, you know, if you talk to a physicist, they were like, you know, string theory doesn't predict anything, this and the other thing.
But there's a big chapter of string theory.
You know, mo I to me, more than fifty percent of the story, backstory of string theory is just constantly giving new ideas in mathematics.
And you know
