How do you mean if "god" can see everything, then he must be able to see in the 10th dimension... it would kill a persons mind if they where to be able to see every possible out come of everything in existence. -- Posted by holysaiyan1 at 4:01 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Quote: from Nerdandproud at 4:15 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 This may hurt your head a little http://www.youtube.com/v/XjsgoXvnStY&hl I followed it, just about   I thought string theory called for an 11th dimension though..anyone know anything about that, please tell me String theory actually calls for twenty-six dimensions of space.  Out of that twenty-six, all but three are curled up so tightly that we can not notice them, unless we are able to probe at that small of a level. -- Posted by Romesds at 4:55 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 i cna understand to 4 or 5 thing i jsut watched -- Posted by Nerdandproud at 7:05 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Quote: from holysaiyan1 at 4:01 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Quote: from Nerdandproud at 4:15 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 This may hurt your head a little    http://www.youtube.com/v/XjsgoXvnStY&hl    I followed it, just about        I thought string theory called for an 11th dimension though..anyone know anything about that, please tell me String theory actually calls for twenty-six dimensions of space.  Out of that twenty-six, all but three are curled up so tightly that we can not notice them, unless we are able to probe at that small of a level. 26?! Have you got any links? Wiki says 11 only I think How many do they want? XD -- Posted by holysaiyan1 at 9:59 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Bosonic string theory. My mistake, string theory calls for 25 spacial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension. Quote: from Nerdandproud at 10:05 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 26?! Have you got any links? Wiki says 11 only I think   How many do they want? XD As many as it takes to make the theory work, I suppose.   -- Posted by Event Horizon at 11:48 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Quote: from holysaiyan1 at 4:01 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 Quote: from Nerdandproud at 4:15 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 This may hurt your head a little    http://www.youtube.com/v/XjsgoXvnStY&hl    I followed it, just about        I thought string theory called for an 11th dimension though..anyone know anything about that, please tell me String theory actually calls for twenty-six dimensions of space.  Out of that twenty-six, all but three are curled up so tightly that we can not notice them, unless we are able to probe at that small of a level. Eh.... I believe one of the string theories calls for 26 dimensions. I was under the impression, however, that M-theory focused on 10 spacial and 1 temporal dimension(s). -- Posted by Alabamarama at 2:54 am on Sep. 2, 2008 Hm, that was interesting. I don't think I understood all of it, but then that's what college is for. -- Posted by Nerdandproud at 5:33 am on Sep. 2, 2008 I thought M theory was the leading string theory at the moment, and it kind of joined the 5 other versions of it. -- Posted by Event Horizon at 7:09 am on Sep. 2, 2008 Quote: from Nerdandproud at 5:33 am on Sep. 2, 2008 I thought M theory was the leading string theory at the moment, and it kind of joined the 5 other versions of it. Yes, and no. M-theory sort-of joins them all together, but only in the sense that the main principles of the five are the same. The details [shape of the strings, type of Calabi-Yao shapes, etc] are altered a little bit. -- Posted by Nerdandproud at 12:52 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 I was under the impression the 11th dimension of M theory was the membrane one,   Infinite 'branes' each with there own universe, including that universes own 10 dimensions on it -- Posted by JohnTheNormalOne at 1:23 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 Wow, I actually think I understand most of it. It looked so complicated at first, but when you think about it, it starts to make sense. -- Posted by holysaiyan1 at 1:40 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 Quote: from Event Horizon at 2:48 am on Sep. 2, 2008 Eh.... I believe one of the string theories calls for 26 dimensions. I was under the impression, however, that M-theory focused on 10 spacial and 1 temporal dimension(s). My mistake.  Bosonic string theory (only explains forces) calls for twenty-six.  Since then, the theories (Type I, II, II-A and -B, H-O and H-A) that make up M-theory only require ten space dimensions and one of time.  Bosonic theory is unstable, so it's at best a rough approximation. Thanks for catching that. -- Posted by allsmiles at 3:30 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 String theory's got some major competitors gathering speed now. Personally, I'm not too fond of string theory. Can't place my finger on it, but something doesn't quite fit. -- Posted by Nerdandproud at 3:39 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:30 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 String theory's got some major competitors gathering speed now.

I like looking up things I have little hope of understanding =p -- Posted by allsmiles at 5:08 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Well, there's a nice article in New Scientist's May this year edition that gives a brief introduction to some of them, but I can't find it at the moment :( here's a link to the article, if you're subscribed. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg19826542.300-four- radical-routes-to-a-theory-of-everything.html remove the space, ofc - stupid LW. -- Posted by Joeeey at 1:31 am on Sep. 7, 2008 Can you actually apprehend the idea of 11 dimensions?
