Paul, get a grip. Do you actually talk about this over lunch? Or with your wife? Or ANYWHERE outside My research group has discussed D-branes over lunch. But that was after the Frontiers of Science Lecture on quantum mechanics this fall. This is what happens when you get a bunch of physics-trained students together. :)
Disclaimer: I am a grad student. I make my living playing in the science, where "real life" need not necessarily be relevant. My field does, at least, involve a lot of measurements in the outdoors, and hence I get to play outside with neat toys. -- "It is easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of computers by the sense of accomplishment you get from getting them to work at all." --Douglas Adams
