A Cross-Section of the Calabi-Yau Quintic Hidden deep inside the
dimensions of string theory are the microscopic Calabi-Yau
spaces. According to string theory, space-time is not four-
dimensional as you might expect, but actually 10-dimensional.
The extra six dimensions are believed to be compactified or
rolled up into such a small space that they are unobservable at
human scales of sight. Their size and six dimensions make
Calabi-Yau spaces difficult to draw. But, this model shows a
three-dimensional cross-section of this likely space to reveal
its structure and shape. This 3" cube and the surface within is
a wildly self-intersecting ride through space. Cement your place
in string theory history by adding this highly intriguing
crystal to your collection. It includes clear rubber feet for
scratch-free display. And, if you want to learn more about the
mathematics of this wondrous cube, read on...This particular
space is one of the most appealing candidates, because there's a
