Dear RP,

I have to confess that I believe in string. My foundations in physics goes back to my childhood and the toys I played with. Yes, toys. And one of my favorites, the yo-yo, had a huge impact on how I view string theory today. Without the string the yo-yo would not return to my finger. That knowledge has had a profound impact on my life. I have spend much time and energy trying to get the yo-yo to return to my finger in numerous lab experiments and find the string an important part of the yo-yo, and the yo-yo's universe.
Without the string the yo-yo does not work.
I will venture to say this: the string made me and the yo-yo one.
I have not taken string theory much beyond the yo-yo but think I must let go and move on!

Have a fun an equal day,

MJA


The truth of everything is less than one inch,
it is only equal and the lion is one.
One is free when the door is opened,
education has the key.
