                              THE UNLIMATE EXPERIMENT

“One of the estimations of string theory, as you well know, is the existence of not four but eleven dimensions.  Presumably, some of these dimensions are too miniscule to be observable.  I began thinking about the existence of alternate universes.  I thought of our own universe with its three physical dimensions and the fourth, time.  I envisioned two alternate universes, each with three dimensions.  I assumed time to be a constant for all three dimensions, ours and the two unknowns.”

Stewart interrupted.  “That theory,” he hesitated, “would explain the presence of ten dimensions.  You are left with one unexplained ….”  The startled expression on Stewart’s face told Ball he now comprehended the connection between string theory and heaven.
