Imagining the tenth dimension
In string theory, physicists tell us that the subatomic particles that make up our universe are created within ten spatial dimensions (plus an eleventh dimension of “time”) by the vibrations of exquisitely small “superstrings”. The average person has barely gotten used to the idea of there being four dimensions: how can we possibly imagine the tenth?
The flash version of “Imagining the Tenth Dimension”, a book by Rob Bryanton – provides an interactive set of animations with narration and sound effects which explain the basic concepts from chapter one of the book. You can also check it out on Google Video.
Quite a fun ride!
