---JAK.
---Introduction to M-theory It did this by asserting that strings are really 1-dimensional slices of a 2-dimensional membrane which is vibrating in
11-dimensional space.
M-theory This means that if one studied supergravity on an
eleven-dimensional spacetime that looks like the product of a ten-dimensional spacetime with another very small one-dimensional manifold, one gets the Type IIA supergravity theory. (The underlines are mine.)
---Is it really that much of a stretch, to perceive a world that can only physically see/perceive one dimension, mentally construct a second dimension and have a temporal dimension as the third? It is still dynamic, isn’t it?
---Actually, from reading Mohan. C's post above, I can see how it might be impossible to figure it out, from
our understandings/beliefs of one dimensional concepts.
---A singularity or a “0”. Something that can only perceive itself, has nothing else to perceive around it and has nothing else to perceive its existence; it is perceived, it isn’t perceived, it is both and nothing (it doesn’t exist, because it only believes it can perceive itself and a belief is an objectively nonexistent future probability).
---How does it perceive that it has changing/a different time outside of what it believes?
---This ‘nonexistent linear perception’ concept, involves understanding how time is; past (what was and always has been), present (what is, being created from the mergence of what was
and what
might be, but doesn’t actually exist, yet) and future (a possibility, that has no subjective existence, except as a belief and no objective existence to a singular(ity) being that does and doesn’t perceive {think of a person in a coma, a deep/black sleep or a trance} and has no thoughts of time or space.)
---Circular time is often shown as a ball. Shove a rod (linear time) from one outside point to another outside point, but don’t go past the finite edges of the exterior of that ball. Hypothetically, mathematically or within a computer model, you can draw an infinite line past the point of the edges of that ball, from each end of that rod, but that finite ball doesn’t exist on that hypothetical line.
---We can
think/believe/guess/hypothesize of a future past the point of the edges of circular time, but that will not make that line an objective reality/existent/real thing, because it will not exist outside the ending point and never has existed before the starting point.
