Hyperspace Theory

I noticed that Captain_Jack_Sparrow listed himself as a theoretical physicist and was reminded of a book I read several years ago named Hyperspace by Micio Kaku. It was fascinating reading. IIRC he stated that he had "done the math" basically and that Einstein's theory was correct if you assumed there were 10 spacial dimensions.

He said that at some point the universe had split unequally into the 3 dimensions in which we live and the other 7 expanded and contracted to become so infinitely large and infintesimally small that we can't see or probe them, yet they completely surround us and even hold the unverse together at the smallest, sub-atomic level. I thought it was kind of interesting that we live in 3 while the other 7 are so far beyond us and yet so totally permeate everything. I took it as a mathematical revelation of God.

Kaku himself is apparently and atheist as he did mention that a "first Cause" was not necessary and cited a theory/law dealing with gasses and random movement.

I might be way off base with this but it came to mind and I thought I'd post it and ask if anyone had any opinions or updates on the theory and what it means, especially Cpt. Jack as he could no doubt come nearer understanding it that I could.

Peace and Love to you all in the boundless name of Jesus Christ.

Have you ever heard of the Quantum Theory of the String? It requires multiple dementions, one version which requires twenty some. Anyway, I don't know very much about it, and I should leave this thread because it's going to all be way over my head, but that might be something interesting to look in for this discussion.

I might have to check up on this since I find physics interesting even though I don't understand them at all.

Actually I think it might be tied to string theory. I remember he said the equation worked if you plugged in 10 dimensions or 26 but he went with 10 for his paper as 10 being a lower number seemed more probable.

Ah, the attempts at the unified field theory lead to even greater dimensions. Makes me wonder what is real and what is imagined in order to fit equations like the imaginary number (i), does it really exist? or , when talking about traveling faster than the speed of light, does a mass really go back in time, or does the world around it just appear to go back in time, until the particle stops?

These kind of thoughts can make my brain hurt, if I dwell on them too much. Props to the physicists that can think of these things, then try them out in real world experiments.

Oh wow, now that shook some rust loose in the old noggin. I used to really get into that stuff. I love physics and would love to go back to school and study it if only finances would cooperate. Pity they cancelled Project Orion. That was always my favorite and gave rise to many fantasies.
