Space Time Dimensions above 4?

[MKruer]

I have been looking on the internet for this and I have yet to find it.

Does anyone know where I can find the list of dimensions in string theory / super string theory and their attributes?

Example:
1st Dimension = Single point
2nd Dimension = Plain
3rd Dimension = Depth
4th Dimension = Time
5th Dimension* = Anti-time
* I don?€™t remember if the 5th Dimension is anti-time for sure, but I know it?€™s somewhere in their.

I think the 5th dimension could be imaginary time.

Heh, just kidding. Check this out for a layman's discussion of the topic...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza-Klein_theory

But then I've read articles postulating many more or even infinite dimensions. Mathematics use extra dimensionality all the time, but physical science, from what I understand, postulates them in order to solve particularly tough ideas in astro and quantum physics. I believe string theory incorporates 9 or 11. I'm not sure.

Yeah I ran into the Fifth one about an hour after this post, but thanks for the Kaluza-Klein_theory

That?€™s were it get interesting because our universe was formed or speculated to be formed by the intersection of a 11th Dimension Quantum foam bubble, or this is what string theory says. Whether there is higher dimensions above 11 might be irreverent because unless we can directly see it and quantify other dimensions, we don?€™t know if the 11th dimensional quantum foam was created by an ever higher interaction. We might need to see the inconsistencies in 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 dimensions to say that higher dimensions are required, however only 11 are needed to create our 3 + 1.

Also I hope you are not confusing unlimited dimensions with the Multiverse which is where the 5th dimensions comes in.

M-Theory is between 9-11 but there is another theory that is gaining ground, called F-Theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-theory which is a 12 dimensional theory. Now the interesting thing, or IIRC when you hit the 12th dimension, you have Time again. This is only occurrence of a duplicate of sister dimension that have similar properties.
