Visualizing Ten Dimensions (String Theory)

[snypadub]

A really good book that helps the layman understand the world of physics: ...

don't listen to him. my fist is what will teach you physics.

Waste

[parson]

holy shit i was drunk when i typed that shit about m-theory. blows my mind how smart i am when wasted :]

and e8 is cool and all but not enough dimensions

[rbnc]

I remember seeing this video aged 13 and not having a fucking clue about what is was talking about.
I'd like to learn more about different theories and especially about String Theory...

A really good book that helps the layman understand the world of physics:


Marcus Chown. Quantum Theory cannot hurt you. 2007. Faber and Faber. London
ISBN-10:057123545X
ISBN-13: 978-0571235452

Awesome book! Buy it. NOW!

I posted about this book I think, I found it a bit...muddled. Personally, to someone nescient to the field, I'd recommend reading Richard Feynman, he's not that much harder to read and much more in depth, interesting and satisfying and not full of 'jokes'.

Read a lot of Feynman, love his work. I actually prefer him to Chown but chown is much better for those with no knowledge but a genuine interest, informative and quirky. Feynman is excellent for non physisists with more than a laymans knowledge!!

i lose my interest in anything that considers time as existent, not to mention as a dimension
not like this is the only fail i see in that stuff, but it's the point where credibility reaches zero for me

I was wondering! No offense, but I was thinking "Where the fuck did that come from??!!??" Probably one of the better summations of m-theory I've come across!

That sounds like a pretty elegant description. Not heard of this particular theory before, must go looking.

It got a lot of publicity a few years ago... well, lots of tiny "In other news..." articles with headlines like "SURFER SOLVES RIDDLE OF UNIVERSE" anyway.

There's been some pretty bitter squabbling between supporters of him and those of String theory and he's never offered it up for proper peer review, I don't think... it's certainly elegant reading, but you think something must be holding him back - though I would think this is the sort of thing that's difficult to prove correct at the moment anyway, certainly until we've gained a lot more observation?

Well, he's probably tinkering about with it till he gets it correct. Despite the fact that scientists are supposed to be open-minded, a lot of them are in fact the most closed-minded, tunnel-visioned, tribally-loyal, territorial apes on the planet.

Agreed.

[parson]

lol credibility reaches zero wow

lol credibility reaches zero wow

i thought you blocked me for vamping you or for copying your style and wearing your clothes or something... repost that stuff if you can pls

[parson]

i blocked you for being dim-witted and chatty.

[alien pimp]

i blocked you for being dim-witted and chatty.

ah, good i can keep vamping you, felt you were a bit unsatisfied with the experience
and is it long since you unblocked me?
how many of those allegedly blocked people are actually unblocked?

and most important of all - where and how is it stored that time of yours you consider a dimension, i mean the past, the future... where do they exist now and in what form?

[parson]

i usually don't, but i have the option of clicking on posts if i am curious. this peek into your world has confirmed my initial decision.

you are a very undecided man and hardly able to really answer any question you're asked
talk next time you peek my world with disgust
i'll keep vamping you meanwhile and copying your dressing style
