imagining the tenth dimension

[mamba]

This is just a random video i stumbled upon, But i really love theoretical physics so i found this really interesting. I was just wondering if any one had any thoughts. Do you think its a load of bull, or it is a possibility that its right. As far as im concerned i think its possible, and i found that the explanation in the video was fairly logical and easily understood.

Interesting... kinda....

The video was pretty easy to understand. Not a bad theory, but I don't know a lot on the subject.

What has it got to do with theorethical physics ?

And, it seems to me that attempting to understand theorethical physics without knowing the math is pointless.. it's all about the mathemathics.. and you can't really understand it without understanding the necessary mathematical apparatus.
...

Ten dimensions for me is just ... a space in which you can have ten vectors perpendicular to one another at once .... .. (every one is perpendicular to the other nine)

I really lack imagination...


We have now imagined a reality where everything is possible. Everything that could have happened, did. Everything that is about to possibly happen, does. Even the things that we know didn’t happen or couldn’t happen on our own timeline, did happen elsewhere in another part of the dimensional construct we’re imagining. But if that’s all there is, then what is the point? As creatures with free will, should we care what we’re about to do if there are other universes where we did the opposite? And if everyone around us is capable of every possible good and bad thing imaginable, how do we ever get anywhere? This chapter attempts to put these questions into perspective.

Spectacular example of navel gazing. That guy's belly-button lint must be feeling very self conscious right now.

It is an interesting way of thinking about the universe. It holds as much merit as most other theories.

Good thing I won't be a physics teacher.

[Y.T.]

Oh, you will be.. Pooka you will be a physics teacher ..

In thirty years' time, when I am the leader of the One World Government, I'll dispatch the World Secret Police to find you and order the cyborg division to make you one. We'll spare no expense. We'll re-make you, so that you own mother won't recognize you. But you'll still be you. We'll see to that.

It's a nice, lucid presentation of a totally bogus interpretation of string theory. The extra dimensions predicted by string theory are spacetime dimensions, not the 'meta dimensions' the flash video describes for dimensions 5+.

The logic behind the author's extrapolation beyond the 4th dimension is flawed. As Zakalwe correctly reasoned in his post, additional dimensions do not contain all lower dimensions. The additional dimensions predicted by string theory merely add more axes along which you can travel in space.

In other words, string theory predicts anywhere from 10-26 'physical' (for lack of a better word) dimensions, not the 3 physical, 1 time, 6 'meta spacetime' dimensions discussed in the flash video.

reminds me of the theories that are discussed in Donnie Darko.

Man that's a great movie
