Why the fuck does the different theories on string theory give rise to 11 parallel dimensions?

>> No.3281945

Because, like all theoretic physicists, they need shiny hypotheses in order to get PR in order to get more budget. Screw actual science.

>> No.3281954

google the video for "imagining the tenth dimension." doesn't get into string theory, but its an easy to follow, but very dumbed down, explanation of why there are theories for multidimensions.

>> No.3281980

>>3281954
i know why there's 10 dimensions >.>

but the hypothesis is, that all of the theories exist in parallel universes.

>> No.3281985

>>3281954
dumbed down? its completely wrong.

>> No.3281994

>>3281942

you need 3 space, 1 time, and 7 curled up dimensions for the strings to vibrate in. its in the math.

This. The video starts being wrong at the 2nd dimension, and arguably at the 1st dimension already as well.

>> No.3282009

string theory is just a theory. (a guass)

>> No.3282025

wasn't it something about extending the real numbers, something that after complex numbers, quaterions, octanions (and maybe this 16 thing) we hit the dead wall, and there aren't any more? so it's a constraint following the nature of numbers?

nt the point. we're talking bout a parallel universe for every type of string theory hypothesis, each universe containing 11 dimensions.

>> No.3282094

Have a timecube instead.

What's the math behind it? Can someone provide a good source of what they mean when they say that the 11 dimensions are a conclusions of maths equations?

Group theory. All of theoretical physics is group theory nowadays.

String theory is what? E8 x E8? Some subgroup of it? I think so, but I'm not sure.
