Is 11 dimensional space infinite?

[fournier17]

Hey guys, I am a physics newbie that just gone done watching parallel universes. From what I understand M-theory predicts that our universe is a brane that all matter is attached to, and its floating in a 11 dimensional space. Is the 11 dimensional space infinite or finite? Also are the paralled universes that are believed by some to exist; literally parallel to our brane. Is it possible to determine which direction our brane is heading in the 11 dimensional space?

Also are the paralled universes that are believed by some to exist; literally parallel to our brane.

I am not an expert by any means on this subject but I would think that the answer depends on the definition of parallel. For example, I believe Euclid defined two lines to be parallel if they never intersect. If we can think of this in a similar way then it seems that as long at the two objects of interest do not intersect then they would be considered parallel. This seems to make intuitive sense in terms of branes I don't think one would want other universe crossing our own. That probably doesn't answer any questions but the definition of parallel in 11D is kinda interesting.

I can say that the concept of 11 dimensional space is still a topic of ongoing research and debate in the field of physics. While M-theory does propose the existence of 11 dimensions, the nature of these dimensions and whether they are infinite or finite is still not fully understood.

Some theories suggest that these dimensions could be infinite, while others propose that they could be finite and wrap around themselves in a compact way. It is also possible that the dimensions could be a combination of both infinite and finite.

Regarding parallel universes, the idea of multiple universes existing in parallel to our own is a fascinating concept, but it is still a hypothetical idea and has not been proven by scientific evidence. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact relationship between these parallel universes and our own brane in 11 dimensional space.

As for the direction of our brane in 11 dimensional space, it is currently not possible to determine this as our understanding of higher dimensions is limited. However, ongoing research and advancements in technology may eventually shed more light on this topic.

Overall, the concept of 11 dimensional space is a complex and intriguing subject that requires further study and research to fully understand. As scientists, we continue to explore and analyze these ideas in order to gain a deeper understanding of our universe and its potential dimensions.
