At least one of the extra dimensions may not be small, may be the size of neurons in the brain, or larger.

Michio Kaku had a book on this ("Hyperspace") in the mid-1990s.

Bump.

so are my ways higher than your ways

The Jatravartid People of Viltvodle Six, (a group of six armed beings distinguished in having invented the areosol deodorant before inventing the wheel) firmly believe that the entire universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called "The Great Green Arkleseizure" and live in perpetual fear of the time they call "The Coming Of The Great White Handkerchief."

Really small dimensions? Playing a really big role? This is huge!!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for this post, RightWhale!

But inflationary cosmology tells scientists nothing about the initial conditions of the universe. This is where extra dimensions come in, even though they might be microscopically small.

Bumping for discussion...

[Hot Tabasco]

Physicists have come to suspect that something is missing from the standard model.

..hey, anybody seen the glue?

[chilepepper]

I receive radio broadcasts from extra dimensions through my teeth... drives me crazy!

[Paradox]

Would this be something like the Fifth Dimension?

Sounds like the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius to me...

[Paradox]

Oh yeah, did someone say something about extra "dementians"?

[js1138]

Epicycles. But, hey, the math works.

[Argus]

So where's Mr. Myxtlplyk?

[Gary Boldwater]

Yes, reality must be made to conform to the mathematics rather than the mathematics conforming to reality.

The real question is how much information can these dimensions hold. Are they "gnarly"?

[desertcry]

There's another point of view in looking at the Initial, and Boundary Conditions of the Universe. This is based on Spin Networks, and Loop Quantum Gravity theories. Things are really heating up in Astrophysics, and High Energy Physics. There's also a seeming confluence of the Bible's Genesis, and Modern Physics, and Mathematics. "In the begining there was the Word.........". Could the Word be also the Laws of Modern Physics? Could this lead to a true understanding of the Nature of God?

At the beginning of the last century physics certainly underwent a revolution and the result was earth shaking to say the least. Around 100 years ago people were just beginning to consider non-Newtonian physics. Imagine if some of this leads to applications and results that are at least as significant as the physics of the 20th century!

"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know–God knows."
