Math vs Reality confusion - 05-06-2005, 04:19 PM

Hardy;
Regardless of what you read, what you see on TV, or any other commentaries, the universe is only 3 dimensional; length, width, and depth. All the other dimensions are mathematical terms used to express the functions of the material substances of the universe. The oddities of mathematical gauge theories are too often hyped as real by media to promote interest in the subjects. Most of the mathematical dimensions referred to by the equations, are only interactions between material objects changing their states of position, structure, and motion.
Don't take gauge theory explanations literally.

Best regards;
Dave
