Calabi-Yau

[edro]

I keep reading about these Calabi-Yau spaces, but I just realized that my pronunciation of "KALA-Bye" "Yow" might be wrong.

Anyone know how to pronounce this? I can't find it anywhere online.

"Ka-La-Bee" "Yow" maybe?

Shing-Tung Yau

I've said "ka-LA-bee yow", but what do I know.

We have yau cavities and we all say "yoh" cavities. But we may all be wrong, none of us is chinese.

i think it's "yow" but unsure of the first part. that is how you'd read it in chinese anyway
