Videos can't be in MP3 format, but thanks for link. Interesting stuff.

I ment MP3 as in information wise, the 10th dimensions according to that very abstract way of thinking is all information the universe could ever have.
Testlund:
Well, when the guy in the movie explained time as a straight line and said it was the 4th dimension I was thinking it could as well be the first dimension. Personally I doubt time exists. It's just because we have memories and the ability to think ahead we think of time. I also doubt the big bang theory. Universe may as well be eternal.
Numsgil:
The links you posted talk about other universes, so it in fact is talking about more information than our universe could ever have by definition. When I say "all information", I specifically am limiting it to information in this universe.
The video links are interesting, but you should be careful assuming that it's talking about the same thing that string theory's 10 (11? 12? They keep needing more) dimensions are talking about. Those dimensions are compacted, which is a fancy way of saying microscopic essentially. They aren't the same thing as the other worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
When talking about dimensions in general, there isn't such thing as the first, fourth, or tenth dimension. Dimension simply means something you can measure with a scalar (ie: number). For instance, when building the physics for DB3 I had 10 dimensions: position (x, y), velocity (x', y'), acceleration (x', y'), angle (theta), angular velocity (omega), angular acceleration (alpha), epoch start time(t0), and epoch end time(t1). For string theory, when someone says 10 dimensions they almost certainly specifically mean 10 spatial dimensions, meaning there are 10 different directions you can move in which are independent of one another.

yeah I didnt think it helped my situation, but it was interesting. But I think it was full of turd jam to be honest. I dont see how I can draw imaginary lines and call them real dimensions.
