Wow, I had no idea the Calabi-Yau Manifold was a real thing. I thought it was just made up for Barotrauma, since that was the only place I heard of it. It sounded Lovecraftian enough so I never questioned it lol

There’s a great book by Greg Egan called Diaspora that explores the idea that every atom is a Calabai-Yau manifold, and the aperture to a wormhole via Kaluza-Klein handwavery. It’s a bit of a heavy read at times but super interesting.
