Why are there exactly 11 dimensions?

[SimonA]

It is a hypothesis. No one is suggesting there is evidence that there is more than one universe. The MWI is another such hypothesis.

But is it reasonable to accept that every sub atomic interaction divides reality such that every possibility did occur? I'd suggest that all our evidence suggests that once a decision is made, it's final.

It's just that in the macro world, the decision is made Very quickly. Decoherence seems to me to be exponentialy related to the plank length, and yet there is an almost quantum nature to the border where the decisions get made - in effect - instantly.

And yet the uncertainty remains in the macro world because firstly there are too many variables for us to be capable of making sense of their interactions, and secondly because at some fundamental level our consciousness lives in the place where quantum uncertainty is normal.

I'm not suggesting
anything like indecision etc. I'm proposing that human will is non deterministic. And I'm certainly not suggesting that consciousness and quantum uncertainty are directly connected. But it is a fact that we are a long way from starting to understand either.

I feel sorry for all the people that have no intellectual curiosity because they believe people far more intelligent than themselves are close to understanding everything. It's cruel that science nowadays is constructed to give that false impression, when the reality would stir and exite so many more to hunger to understand the great mysteries that stand before us all.

If science was more honest about the fact that most of it's current "facts" will be at least partially modified in a decade or two, the crazies that reject reason altogether would have the rug taken from under their feet. And maybe more would hunger for truth.
