Can YOU imagine the Tenth Dimension? Stupid people need not click here

Intriguing stuff. I followed like you up until I got to about 7 or 8. I think what the flash is saying is that, like alternate reality in which you chose a different path and reached a different result, that our universe is one of many possibilities in which not only do people and things react differently, but the fundamentals of time and space may not have the same bearing on each other. It's easy to say, but harder to imagine. A universe in which gravity does not apply, for instance, would make it impossible for life to be sustained in our universe. But in such a universe, the rules of sustenance for organisms may not apply the same. Perhaps beings of energy rule, since they cannot maintain a corporeal form. Perhaps energy does not even transfer as we would expect it to, making atomic particles an unreality in that other, infinite universe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think you mean physicists.

Of course, this is what a Slashdot article I was reading the other day mentioned; that string theory has caused physics to come more or less to a practical halt as more people devote their theories towards string theory. Without any way to experiment and view the results of their theories, everybody's spinning their wheels, working towards a non-goal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
