The Tenth Dimension

Superstrings for beginners, explained here.

Curtsy to reader (and former schoolmate) Hugh.

And if you think a ten-spatial-dimension Universe is something miraculous, you should see the pictures of his baby daughter.

That a Universe could exist with a place in it for concepts such as Love, that is the real miracle. The mechanics are interesting too, of course, but somehow... less important.

  1. Nifty looking site, I'll have to look at it when I'm at work (and have broadband!). As for children: Remember the line from Heinlein's tale about Lazarus Long?

    "That's impossible!"

    "So's a baby, son."

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
