La décima dimensión
Para aquellos de vosotros que habéis leído sobre la teoría de cuerdas, sabréis más que de sobra que una de las consecuencias más impactantes de la misma es la existencia de 10 dimensiones. Nosotros, como humanos, vivimos y sentimos el mundo en tres dimensiones, donde cualquier objecto tiene propiedades de altura, anchura y profundidad. Podemos incluso llegar a percibir una cuarta dimensión, a la que llamamos tiempo, o duración. Desde ese punto en adelante la cosas se complica, es difícil de imaginar, nuestro cerebro no puede "dibujar" una quinta dimensión. La teoría de cuerdas dice que eso se debe a simple echo de que estamos "atrapados" en un mudo de tres dimensiones, como el dibujo del rey en una carta esta atrapado un mundo de dos, y todo lo que vería estaría contenido en el plano de sus ojos.
La siguiente animación intenta explicar este abstracto concepto de una forma visual, y aún cuando la teoría no aprueba esta explicación, a mi me parece que es un buen intento:

Oh.My.Fucking.God.
No.
I’m trying HARD not to be anal about it, but that video is WRONG.
Oh, Hi Adri, by the way! ^.^
So, the video starts well enough, but by the time it treats time as another dimension it went downhill from there on.
Dimensions can only be conceived in one of two ways: empirically (by Euclian space, that is, through observation, like the greeks did) or mathematically (that would be through Minkowski space). Both types of space definition acknowledge that time does not have space-type properties.
Through Minkowski-Bouligand observation, time is a direct consequence of gravity, and as such, it can be bent through gravitational fields but only as a positively vectorized equations, which discards any and all space-like properties. In Euclian observations time doesn’t even stand as equals to the other dimensions, and cannot be manipulated.
In other words: forget everything you just learned from that video.
It sounds daunting, but it is actually fun and easy to learn once you got the basics right. For that, I recommend Michio Kaku’s excellent introduction to higher dimensions through his book “hyperspace”. I talked about it once in my blog (link here: http://tomypledgedwordamtrue.blogspot.com/2009/05/hyperspace-michio-kaku.html )
If you wish, I can send you a digital copy of the book. Contact me if you crave for more. Be well Adri.

Hey Arc!, thanks very much for the comments, I love your energy on them, I found them incredibly mentoring :). I absolutely read that book, in Spanish though and quite a long a go, but I have it with me here in England, and I could say that you made me start reading it again, just to check the amount of junk that my head has been soaking about this matter since then.
Please, be well two :)
