Recently it has been shown that there are paths on the moduli space between two Calabi-Yau manifolds with different topology that have finite length. A priori, there exists the possibility that the singular manifold that is common to two different moduli spaces has two different Ricci-flat Kahler metrics, each being the limit of the Ricci-flat Kähler metric of the respective topologically distinct Calabi-Yau manifold. In this paper we show that this is not the case and the topology changing p...
