Here’s a Visual Guide to the 10 Dimensions of Reality

According to superstring theory, there are at least 10 dimensions in the universe (M-theory actually suggests that there are 11 dimensions to spacetime; bosonic string theories suggest 26 dimensions).

That’s a bit of a mind-boggler: Most people understand the basic three dimensions, and many know that the fourth dimension is probably time. But what, exactly, are full 10 dimensions?

Inspired by a recent article at Phys.org that broke down the main ten; here’s a handy visual guide to orienting yourself to superstring theory and your place in the infinite, neverending mindf*ck we call “reality.”

The First Dimension: Length

The first dimension is length, or x-axis—a straight line, with no other characteristics.

The Second Dimension: Height

Height, or y-axis, can be added to the length to produce a two-dimensional object, such as a triangle or square.

The Third Dimension: Depth

Depth, or z-axis, can be added to the previous two dimensions to produce objects that have volume, like a cube, pyramid, or sphere. This is the end of the dimensions that are directly physically perceptible by human beings. All dimensions beyond the third are theoretical.

The Fourth Dimension: Time

The fourth dimension is the position in time occupied by a three-dimensional object. (Image via.)

The Fifth Dimension: Possible Worlds

The fifth dimension is a world slightly different than ours, from which we could measure similarities and differences to our own world. (Image via.)

The Sixth Dimension: A Plane of All Possible Worlds With the Same Start Conditions

The sixth dimension is a plane containing all possible universes with the same start conditions as ours; i.e., the Big Bang.

The Seventh Dimension: A Plane of All Possible Worlds With Different Start Conditions

The seventh dimension expands upon the sixth by plotting all possible worlds that begin with different start conditions.

The Eighth Dimension: A Plane of All Possible Worlds, Each With Different Start Conditions, Each Branching Out Infinitely

Are you dizzy yet? (OK, OK, look, there’s a point beyond which the mind of humanity is unable to cognize without resorting to rave flyer graphics.) (Image via.)

The Ninth Dimension: All Possible Worlds, Starting With All Possible Start Conditions and Laws of Physics

In each of these dimensions, which represent all possible start conditions, the laws of physics are all completely different. (Image via.)

The Tenth Dimension: Infinite Possibilities

At this level of complexity, everything that is possible and imaginable exists. Even a world in which you have no student loans.

Estive pesquisando sobre isto o assunto até que cheguei a tua postagem, fiquei contente com o que acabei de ler todo.
Obrigado! http://rideordrive.net/horseclass/author/efrenwalton/

none of these are real. vaccines cause autisms.

String theory is about subatomic
“particles”. I expect it to explain
how, for example, a photon propagates
through space at the speed of light.
It would make more sense to me to
conceptualize 11 dimension at that
level! Doing math at that level
would require an enormous computer! Am mathematician. Please
recommend books.
Thank you
