Hey guys, I'm new here but I've been lurking for ahwhile. Anyway, I was in my Economics class today and my professor made a really great analogy that I was hoping yall could elaborate on.
Basically, when you graph a line, the line (1 dimension) is being expressed in a 2 dimensions of space (x and y axes).
When you graph a plane, a 2 dimensional figure, you have to express it in a 3 dimensions of space (x,y,z axes)
So then he made the comment that really got my mind going....Using the same logic, a three dimensional object exists in 4 dimensions of space.
Chew on that, put that in your pipe and smoke it, etc etc.

The thing I don't like about the whole 11 Dimensions thing, is that we only have math that says it's true. I could say there are 123 dimensions if I had enough info to back it up. What I'm sayin is, is that these scientists can say anything they want us to believe, because odds are the problem won't be solved until after our lifetime. I hope you get what I'm saying. I too thought that Tiome was one of the 4 dimensions. I never really have believed in the whole 11 dimensions... I think maybe 5 or 6.
