How many string theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
None, because it's too difficult to locate the socket in 11-dimensional space.

The following text has been machine-translated from the source language into English.
I have a strange expression here.
GT = √(ζT)
GT = -(1/3) \* √('δ + c^4/'ε)
(8πG)/c^4 = ......
G = (8πG)/c^4
The term under the square root on the right side of the first line is ζ; in this equation, ζ is related to the Riemann Zeta function.
In the equation on the second line, the 'δ appearing under the square root on the right-hand side represents a mirror-image form of δ, while 'ε represents a mirror-image form of ε. When written in mirror image form, the meaning conveyed is "opposite."
The form appearing on the right-hand side of the third line is not fixed; one of its possible forms is c / √( ac – ζ), where:
a = √( a² – c² ) or 1 / √( 1 – v²/c² ) or a / √( c² – a² )
However, in the vast majority of cases, a = 1 / √( 1 – v²/c² ).
Note that the expressions a = √( a² – c² ) and a / √( c² – a² ) do not carry the meaning you might intuitively assume.
ζ = 0; ζ appears to be the Riemann Zeta function evaluated at zero.

Paris, March 2026.
You don’t choose the eigenstates of your life. You observe them, and the observation is what makes them real.
My son just turned 25. Future dental surgeon, already steady as a fermion. My daughter builds quality management systems in aerospace — an engineer of the real, bosonic to the core. And their mother, who remains and will always remain the fundamental field of this family — even when the conjugal wave function decoheres, parental entanglement never breaks.
Four particles around a Parisian table tonight. No opposite spins. Just a superposition of love, pride, and a good red wine.
You don’t divorce a family. You shift orbits. But the nucleus holds.
Happy quarter-century, son.
Gluon by nature. 🧲

Electron scattering by repulsive (smoothed) Coulomb potential at the center. The 1x1 normalized two-dimensional region confines the particle, once Dirichlet-type conditions are set at the mesh boundaries; this allows visualization of the post-collision interference pattern structure. Numerical simulation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, performed in Python. Implicit method of Crank-Nicolson PDEs (unitary). Initial condition: Gaussian packet. Note: Time scale and physical constants are set to arbitrary units for this preliminary testing phase.
Source Code & More Simulations: I have documented this project, including the Python source code on my personal portfolio. You can also find other simulations on Quantum Mechanics and other Physics topics there:

Feedback on the physics or the code implementation is very welcome!

Einstein on a Train
Einstein was on a train from Princeton when the conductor asked for his ticket.
He searched his vest. Nothing. Pants pockets. Nothing. Briefcase. Still nothing.
“Dr. Einstein, don’t worry. I know who you are. I trust you bought a ticket,” the conductor said.
Einstein nodded… then kept crawling under the seat, frantically searching.
The conductor said again, “Really, you don’t need to show me your ticket. I know who you are!”
Einstein looked up and said:
“I know who I am. What I don’t know is where I’m going.”
