I need to come up with a grand unification theory for the forces of physics and win me a nodel prize. 10 million swedish krons =D

i like string theory, i just don`t like fact that it has to be its birth right to unify. it just seems so arrogant to think that all of particles and laws of nature have been discovered by mankind within the last 200 years of trial and error.

sadly i know all of this. I wonder when CERN is going to produce results. You can also go to 10 dimension website in Google and it explains it.

From what I understand, theres a few individual string theories that work ok by themselves. Each one is considered mathematically and theoretically correct, however, they don`t support eachother directly. Membrane or "M-theory" is a new theory that came along and basically used 11 dimensions instead of 10. This created unity between each string theory and argued that each case of string theory was a component of M-theory.

Brian Greene is AMAZING. Too bad I missed his talk in the World Science Festival in NYC recently. I really wanted to see it but didn`t have the time.

But either way, I can`t wait till the CERN finally gets launched!

Realizing that we live in 10 dimensions or infinity dimensions isn`t going to change the fact that I`ve got to pay rent this month.

I think this is a better explanation of the dimensions. Includes string theory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxieS-6WuA
