The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
Skyrmions are topologically stable field configurations; they’re like knots in smooth fields that can’t be undwound. My master’s project was on simulating magnetic skyrmions (skyrmion-ish configurations of spins of atoms in ferromagnets) on the GPU.
