Could the 7 compactified intradimensions and 4 exploded extradimensions of superstring theory alternately arise from a composite network of zero dimensional points, one dimensional strings, two dimensional branes, three dimensional volumes, four dimensional spaces, and an interrelative time of one dimension, such that: 0+1+2+3+4+1=11?

The 0,1,2,3,4 and |-1| components can replicate the dimensionality of strings or branes. By "interrelative" I mean that time, along with a 3-dimensional spatial geometry, can share the extradimensions as a continuous spacetime, whereas four dimensional spaces are restricted to compactification by both their Euclidean nature and maximal component 4-dimensionality. Each unit decrease in dimension would constitute a projection from the next higher component space. The lower compactified geometries would be projections both with and without time's arrow.

This idea of a composite spacetime with varying dimensions is an interesting concept to consider. It is possible that the 11 dimensions of superstring theory could arise from a network of zero dimensional points, one dimensional strings, two dimensional branes, three dimensional volumes, and four dimensional spaces, all connected through a one dimensional interrelative time. The equation 0+1+2+3+4+1=11 suggests that each component contributes to the overall dimensionality of the composite spacetime.

The idea that time and spatial geometry can share the extradimensions as a continuous spacetime is intriguing. This could explain why time and space are intimately connected, and how they could both exist within the same extradimensions. The concept of lower compactified geometries being projections from higher dimensions also adds an interesting layer to this idea.

However, it is important to note that this is just a theoretical concept and there is currently no evidence to support it. Superstring theory itself is still a highly debated and unproven concept, so the idea of a composite spacetime based on it is even more speculative. It is possible that future research and advancements in physics may shed light on this idea, but for now it remains just a thought-provoking concept.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
