I dont think anything beyond 3 dimensions is visible is it? Maybe i'm thinking of something else. Are you drunk?
 
There is a 4th dimension (Time) which I guess you can say you see, in an abstract way. String theory predicts there to be 10 dimensions (11 for M-Theory combining all Superstring theories), but that the 5-10th dimensions are not linear like the ones we perciece, but rather coiled up, thus they are so small (and not infinitely long) that we cannot comprehend them ... that and we humans evolved to hunt food and reproduce, not to see fundamental particles at plancks distance. Anyways, lock this thread, its stupid
 
I remember reading somewhere that time wasn't a dimension. But I could be wrong, since I never have really researched that.
 
time is very much a dimension, as both einsteins relativity postulates, AND quantum mechanics both demonstrate it
 
In 2060, we won't need benchmarks, because everyone's computer will be so damn fast you wouldn't be able to tell a difference, and even if you could, noone would care.

Bah, by 2060 the display market will be moving from Holography to an image directly projected into the brain with electrical impulses, take one milliwatt of power to run, and have perfect analog resolution (IE real life)
 
There is one class of superstring theories that requires 26 spacetime dimensions (not 16). This class consists of 4 combinations that are known as the Bosonic String Theories (Open Oriented, Open Not Oriented, Closed Oriented, and Closed Not Oriented are the 4 combinations). This class of superstring theories however has been proven to be a mathematical anomoly in that it accounts for the 'ghost' quantum states observed by the fermions that make up 'stable matter' and their 'need' to adhere to the Pauli Exclusion principle. In laymans terms, the numbers work out, but these 26 dimensional theories have long since been seen to be the offset of a number of physical laws that matter must adhere to and matter does not in any way shape or form exist in this form. As well, these theories contain a ground state tachyon (massless) particle, and thus do nothing to illustrate the mechanisms behind gravity on a quantum or relativistic scale (which is the sole function of string theory, to unify these two theories).

Instead there are 5 10 dimensional superstring combinations that DO contain a graviton, and very elegantly combine gravity in both the realm of extremely small (quantum) and extremely large (relativistic) environments. These 5 combinations are known as I, IIA, IIB, Heterotic E8 x E8, and Heterotic SO(32) and their differences are so complicated and difficult to explain (much less understand myself) that I wont bore those of you who are probably already asleep at your keyboards from reading all this .. that is assuming you didnt give up half way through heh.

Consequentely BTW the two heterotic theories encompass a number of exotic subatomic particles and to some extent utilize the bosonic string theories, with the exception that the additional 16 dimensions are in fact NOT spacetime dimensions. These heterotic theories btw DO exist in 10spacetime dimensions.

O, one last thing, I didn't make any of that up ... and I didn't copy and paste it from a website either heh. I have been fascinated by string theory for a number of years now and i've read everything I can get my hands on. If anyone is interested, I would suggest you pick up 'The Elegant Universe' by Brian Green, an AMAZING book, and very much directed in laymens terms.

PS: I'm sorry for thread hijacking to spew out all this stuff about strings, but the thread wasn't worth much anyways =P
 
retartedchicken thats ok, I like to fry my brain on a regular basis, but thats a different story .. and one that is not of the most legal background =P
 
its not star trek booya, its fundamental theoretical physics. It is the attempt to solve what Einstein spent the rest of his life after relativity trying to figure out (the Theory of Unification, a theory that solves the conflict, specifically with regard to Gravity, between Einsteins own relativistic postulates and quantum mechanics). Star Trek is a fictional TV show, this is real life, physcists devote their entire lives to this type of research, and deserve more respect then comparison to a TV show (a good TV show mind you) heh.
 
HELL YEA!!! STAR TREK RULZ
but HiTech-Hate you really confused me after reading your post...i thought i was somewhat familiar with physics but after reading that i realized im a moron
good thing im taking it next semester!!!
but don't think we'll be talking bout this stuff...dang..:(

Yea, I know. I was joking :D. Plus, everyone knows that we can't have exotic matter to make "wormholes" exist and time travel. Pfffft.

Although Star Trek theorizes quite a lot. Some of what was theorized in Star Trek later became something that might actually work somehow. Here is an interesting read. It's not technical it's just a fun laymens terms kind of book.

The Phsyics of Star Trek by Lawrence M. Krauss

actually Booya wormholes do in fact exist in our universe. Not only that but it has been recently shown that wormholes large enough to carry a person CAN exist in our universe

(http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992312)

we're a little ways off from playing with a technology that could either form a black hole on earth, or a new universe that expands at c and destroys our current universe (that would suck).

It should be awesome to see what comes out of the Large Hadron Accelerator (LHA) being constructed right now, this particle accelerator is being built with the study of black holes, and other exotic extrasteller phenomenon in mind. Imagine making a black hole every second in one of these things! crazy
