Here is the article

A image of six dimensions?

Looks like a human heart kinda

that was refreshing

Very intresting...

Question: Space and time can't actually be measured, very well, as far as entire dimensions go. How can these extra dimensions be measured to be as large as a millimeter? A millimeter of what? Are they measuring something specific within the dimension, like a book case or something? I'm just thinking, dimensions themselves, they're pretty infinite, aren't they?

Atm, the page is loading...

Loaded! Now that is strange...

Looks like one of the mountains from FF7.

as infinite as walking in a straight line on earth, dimensions are not actually infinte, space just seems that way because it is so large, these extra dimensions are no where near as large as our currently known 3 dimensions which makes them measurable relative to our current measuring devices here on earth

that is very interesting

I sure hope for them that they are on the right track, that would be a booming step for string theory and give them a chance to really test out its theory.

I hope to hear more about this, in my lifetime at least

Ah, gotcha. But, what's in those millimeters?

i believe strings are what are thought to be in the calabi-yao dimensions, im not quite positive though, but i do know that in order for string theory to work you need 11 dimensions including time, also those milimeter dimensions are actually much much smaller, about planck length*


planck length* is the smallest size the universe is believed to have, nothing is smaller, strings i believe are the same size as planck length


i hope homer joins in this conversation, he'll probably have some good insight on the subject

You need AT LEAST 11 dimensions, but the number is unclear and can be up to even 26 as I remember.

I've found Superstring theory to be extremely interesting since I first heard of it, not just because its a radical new way of thinking, but also because it could answer some of the questions that have long plagued us; among them, the ignition for the big bang. However, it is highly untestable. These scientists seem to be on some sort of course to erase this idea though, and humanity will be all the better for it. Even if this theory isn't the great unifier that Einstein spoke of, it will still have opened minds to new and vibrant possibilties of looking at the world around us.

i read an artical about the 10th dimension, and they mentioned the Calabi-Yau many times.

Ya I'm curently reading The Elegant Universe which is all about string theory. Planck length was best described to me in this way. If you could expand an atom to the size of the known universe, planck length would be about the size of a nice sized tree. And they also say (i think this is correct) a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. I remember it was 3 billionth's.

I've been meaning to read that, but I got a lot of things to get to before it... Hopefully I'll get around to it eventually though.

i have read the book, its a really good read

Actually, there was an alien book talking about the 24 dimensions, thats a long way to go..

24??

anways interestin readin

DUDE that rock sooooo bad!!... man that is the coolest!!!!!!

ihave watch the string theory documentary is very fasinating stuff..

Why does that website have a swastica in the top left hand corner?!
