Bruno: Where do that [Calabi-Yau Compact manifolds] comes from? Richard: There are the most immediate consequence of all string theories where the extra dimensions beyond 4D spacetime must precipitate out of 3D space.
Harvard physics Prof. Vafa describes the Big Bang as 2 dimensions folding up in splines as 1 dimension expands. Prof Yau, Head of the Harvard Math Dept, is famed for his verification of Calabi's conjecture of compact manifolds and Yau proposed these manifolds as the answer to where the extra dimensions went for about a decade before it was accepted by string theorists. But I must admit that I have never seen any string theory math that predicts how the dimensions fold up.
