Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our
universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six
of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they are
undetectable. The big question is why we experience the universe in
only three spatial dimensions instead of four, or six, or nine."


And these same guys scoff at the religious who believe in things that
are undetectable.

They are also very unlikely to kill you, blow you up, tie you to a stake
and burn you for not believing it. There may be clues out there, I mean
real solid clues as was recently suggested that GR may fail on the large
cosmological scale. If that turns out to be so then another explanation
will be needed, so far string theory is the only one out there that
could fill the gap so to speak.

Hi Ray Thanks for bringing in that site. Seems those two guys should
have read Witten,for he had much the same theory,and took some of the
dimensions=A0away from string theory I have used the fact that nothing
can block gravity in my thinking of branes,and membranes. that nature
uses to separate stuff without using great areas of space. I have had a
theory(this my first posting the idea) that if EM force could enter
membranes all the trillions,and trillions of other mini-universes could
not be created out of the very first big bang. Love the string theory.
Edward Witten is my "ideal" String theory,and my weirdest ideas seem to
always fit. Bert

Hi Bert, you know our captain has views on this sort of thing, I almost
didn't post it ha, ha.

Yep gravity leaking out through branes no problem, all perfectly normal.

From Double-A:

the universe in only three spatial
dimensions instead of four, or six, or
nine."

Heh. They have a religion of their own that's fundamentalist, inviolable
and absolute.. the 'No Medium' doctrine, and they worship at the altar
of the Void. The Void-Space religion is replete with its own sacraments
and trappings: geometry, metrics, 'messengers thru the Void' that
magically 'know' to fly at exactly c, 'unseen dimensions', all
latter-day equivalents of the angels and imps of the medieval church.
Seems like humans are hardwired with the 'God' gene,
and all we do is swap one religion for another. oc

You might call it a paradigm, groupthink, mass hysteria, or
brainwashing.

It is an interesting aspect of human psychology: the readiness to
believe what a group of other people around you thinks.

I personally think it colors our thinking in many ways, not just in
science or religion.

But only if we can break out of this groupthink behavior can we have
any hope of seeing and understanding things as they really are.

Remember that experiment that Mike Varney was involved in a year or two
ago? They measured the force of gravitational attraction at extremely
small distances. If there were any gravity leaking through from other
dimensions or other universes, they should have been able to detect it.

They found nothing!

Talk to me about rolled up dimensions and branes and string theory when
someone finds some evidence.

Until then, it is just as fanciful as theoretical angels dancing on the
head of a pin.

Hi Ray Right you are our Capt.does not cotton to BB BH
Mini-universes,and string theory. Today if astronomers leave out this
stuff they would have little to write a book about. Bert

Hi oc and double-A Best to keep in mind Google might some day reach
God status.Like spiritual Gods Google also is virtual See I' am
already giving it a capital "G" Bert
