Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

Markov isn't particular interesting, but thank you for explaining it. I have no idea ho this is useful, but I'll assume it's of vital importance for something vitally important. String Theory, however, is interesting. I'd enjoy understanding it. If you could spit the basics out trivially, I would be quite grateful.

Well, you can use Markov chain matrices to calculate the nth Fibonacci number absurdly quickly. Tell me your fastest algorithm for finding Fibonacci numbers, and I'll show you a Markov algorithm that does it much faster

What, exactly, is the Fibonacci Sequence?

String Theory basics: Instead of 0-dimensional point-particles, all particles are treated as disturbances on strings, with a mass and spin (like the spin of quarks or electrons that are in the same orbital). This way, since gravitons are treated as having 0 mass and 2 spin, quantum mechanics can be combined with gravity. Why couldn't we do it before? Because 0-dimensional particles would by necessity interact at 0 distance, where Einstein's laws break down, whereas the strings are 1-dimensional, have short lengths, and therefore allow Einsteinian physics to make sense.

I sorta kinda follow.. You did a good job explaining Markov chains in idiot, but your accent is a bit too thick here. Could you dumb it down a little? I understand that it's a means to get Einsteinian and Quantum physics to mesh, but, other than that I'm just a bit fuzzy.

I don't speak smiley. Could you translate?

I do, though, it wouldn't be the first time I've worn a corset.

Thank god you're here. I was going mad with bordom.

- Kemrain the Amused.

Mad, I say! Mad! Mwahahaha!

 

[Kemrain]

I'm quite capable of understandinc concepts, I just don't understand all your names for them. Physics is cool, but peopledon't enjoy teaching it to me because I don't know hat they're talking about until they spell things out.

Once you get past that, I'm pretty smart.

Well it makes more sense than "Going bored."

Also that people wouldn't have given the theory a second glance. One of the inherent problems with string theory is that it's impossible to observe. It only works in the math.
