The Achilles Heel of String Theory.

"S D Rodrian" wrote in message ... The Achilles Heel of String Theory. The instant the term "dimensions" ["the number of elements in a basis of a vector space," "the quality of spatial extension] is used in any text to describe anything which might exist apart from our reality (universe)... you can be certain it is a science- fiction text, and NOT science (as "the systematic study of reality"). So models have no connection to realty? Such an absolute statement! Since you are a person obviously lacking the gift of subtlety, I shall be more categorical still, for your sake: "Some models do have a connection to reality, but not all of them." NOTE that my paragraph specifies those models which use so-called "dimensions." Specifically: NONE of those "models" have any connection with reality whatsoever (they lose all connection to reality the instant the term "dimension" is a mention): Why? Because if the mind can conceive of any "conceivable" manifold (or, so-called dimension), then that "dimension" can exist in our reality as part of our so-called three-dimensional reality WITHOUT having to "add anything to it" (to our 3-D reality). "Pushing" it OUT of our reality is an unnecessary artificiality perpetrated ("mathematically") via the common confusion that arises when we speak of our reality as somehow strictly "3" dimensional. Or, HINT: If it exists inside our 3-D reality, there is no need for it to exist outside it. Therefore it adds nothing to speak of it as "an additional" dimension (it adds nothing to our reality). DOUBLE HINT: There is nothing "1" dimensional in our reality. Therefore it's nonsense to try to speak of anything being "2" dimensional, and therefore even more absurd to speak of anything being "3" dimensional (in reality), and so on & so on... the sequence becoming more and more absurd as it goes on. Hope this simplificationalism helps, but I know from experience that simpletons are not necessarily always the first to grasp the simplest things.
