11D actually was first postulated nearly 60 years ago using the Standard Model. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model ) It sat there as a possibility until it was pushed into prominance with String over 20 years ago when String ideas started to prove themselves as the only possible way of ex...

You are using the term unobservable and observable incorrectly as far as science is conserned. For example: You can not observe the interior of the sun but you can measure what is going in and out of the sun and the bulk of the 'things' that make up the sun. Using what is known about chemistry, phys...

Complex systems is the physics and mathematics that model how sets of simple physical things create everything. When 'things' interact with other things you get everything including life. There is the starting question of where and why the very simple beginnings happen but everything past that comes...

M-Theory is just as hard to understand as Quantum Mechanics and it is half a century younger so there are not as many examples created to make it easier to understand. Basically it comes down to that because of the imprints left in our 4-D universe there is enough evidence that there are more dimens...

I would like to hear some of the scientist dissenters on this view, I found a few comments in looking for reviews of Hawking. I guess essentially the criticism is that, at this point (and possibly forever) it is all unfalsifiable speculation. The answer is yes and no as speculation. The problem is ...

Both the General theory and String come up with at least 11-dimensions. Since the 11-D General theory was developed in the 1950s this is a relatively old physics concept. There are just enough gaps in the real world that require more than 4-D to get the mathematics explaining them to work. Consider ...

Oh, is that all? Well does it really imply multiple universes, or is it just a mathematical expression? The answer is neither and both. It is a mathematical expression that can be shown in our universe to be true and it answers other questions about our universe that can't be answered in any meanin...

Until we see some replication of this study, I think the proper response is skepticism. What I was pointing out isn't if the study is correct but that the study mimics the alternate histories of quantum mechanics. It reflects the idea that the oddness of quantum might not be so odd. For example: Th...

Then consider it in relation to multiple futures and histories. This does make sense in this relation.

<The guiding principle of physics is to explain the world in terms of a few universal laws. When some phenomenon seems to violate the laws, physicists strive to find an explanation consistent with those laws, instead of discarding them. Given how successful physics has been at understanding the worl...
