AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of multiple dimensions, specifically the idea that if there are 11 dimensions as proposed by M-theory, it could imply the existence of multiple versions of oneself living different lives. Participants clarify that while we perceive a 3-dimensional universe, it is actually a 4-dimensional spacetime due to relativity. M-theory suggests that 7 of the 11 dimensions are hidden or curled up, which shapes our understanding of reality. References to Dr. Kaku's "Hyperspace" and Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" highlight the theoretical framework behind these ideas. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of dimensions and their implications for identity and existence.

I am correct by this thought? Since their are 11 Dimensions. Does that mean that they can be 11 of myself that took different paths in life or death?

Like one of me is a cop and the other a CEO and so on?

Think of it this way - we 'live' in a 3-dimensional universe but there aren't 3 of you out there :) Think of the 'dimensions' similar to those in the cartesian graphing system - not like the zombie dimension from Half Life or something.

Not to be nitpicky but...

We live in a 4-d universe(based on realitivity)

But M-theory, which is a string/brane theory of fundamental physics, lives in 11 dimensions, so IF M-theory is the true picture of physics, the we live in 11 dimensions, of which 7 cannot be seen, perhaps because they are curled up into tiny spaces. Our four dimensional spacetime is then the part of the 11 dimensions that didn't curl up.

Dr. Kaku's book Hyperspace and Brian Green's book The Elegant Universe dicuss these matters.
 
At any given time one of me is a tall guy... another is living as a wide guy... and my third persona is a thick guy...

Agreed, I've read much about string theory...
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
