Wired while studying strings.

This is interesting. I've always thought that besides height, width and depth, time and gravity are also dimensional

The son of two Iranian physicists, Arkani-Hamed was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in Boston. After the Iranian revolution of 1979, his family returned to their homeland, but as religious fundamentalists took over the government, his father was forced to go underground and the family eventually had to flee across the border to Turkey. By 1982, Nima was living in Toronto, Canada.

The free world benefits from oppression once again, though Canada barely qualifies.

So in theory, this theory will be tested in 2008 when the first results of CERN come in? He needs more espresso. I'm only wired on regular coffee and cigars and feeling like an extra dimension is hovering just out of reach of my nose...

it is all a faith thing.

atheist scientists don't believe in God since there is no "proof" yet fall all over themselves expousing the existence of cosmic strings and 23 different dimensions, for which there is

no experimental proof whatsoever

ah, hypocrisy. faith is OK, but only if politically correct

Dr. Michio Kaku's latest book, Parallel Worlds, reveals what today's trailblazing cosmologists know about the nature of the universe, including its age (13.7 billion years), its composition (73 percent 'dark energy'), and perhaps even its eventual death. Dr. Kaku also offers a glimpse into the future trillions of years from now, when the survival of intelligent life might well depend upon its ability to migrate to another, more hospitable universe or to travel back to a warmer, safer time.

Dr Kaku is on tour promoting his new book. For those who think we have a clue to the fundamental nature of the universe, this one should kick us right in the fundament.

Chuck Missler http://khouse.org/ has fascinating radio broadcasts on this topic and others.

And I have a "string" theory of my own, the current formula is:

STRING UP (CLINTON=TREASON: VAR1=BILL; VAR2=HILLARY)

GRAVITY acting on falling object (16'/second) ^2

= (CRIME) DELTA = CRIME1^-1

I just wish there were a REAL "Laboratory" to test my theory!

Why is "dimensions" so much more popular "properties of space"???

[Fitzcarraldo]

What controls the number of dimensions?
