higher dimensions

Hum,
even if we were to discount stringtheorys 26 or 11 dimensions then we would still have to make `room` for other dimensions for things like electron spin, (it spins 720 degrees to return to the same place), quantum tunnelling, entanglement etc...

it all depends i reckon how we define 'god'. what do we mean by 'higher' dimensions'? why not 'deeper' dimensions'. The 'deeper' would be sympathetic with pre-mechanisltic understandings of Nature and us. For example the pagan belief of the 'Underworld' and/or 'Therworld' a timeless dimension(s) that coexists with ours, and that apparently can be contacted in various states of non-ordinary awareness

OK, with that in mind, let's pretend we ask a person who is with Earth religion, eg a Dionysian celebrant what 'god' is and what 'higher dimensions' is--how would s/he answer?.....And how about a person who follows Abrahamic religion? How would they answer what 'God' is and what 'higher dimension(s) is?
For the former, maybe they would understand 'god' to be what they beCOME in non-ordinary awaress, DIRECTLY experiencing 'deeper or higher dimension(s).
Whereas the Abrahamite may claim that 'God' is transcendental IN a higher dimension. For s/he non-ordinary experience OF any sense of a 'higher or deeper dimension' is forbidden by their authorities.
And physics' 'myth' is devoid of poetry that speaks to such an interelationsip in an orgiastic way. What do you say?
 
I think I read about this recently. It's up for debate just how many dimensions we haven't identified, but it has something to do with a particle string theory if I'm correct.
 
Well,
Yeah,
It's up for debate…

The word on the street is that string theory is about to get a twist…
Another contending theory, called <a href="http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tweb/00001/index.shtml">Twistor Theory</a> that uses Space-Time Geometry in a more wholesome way of reflected dimensions (like matter and antimatter ) has been found to work with superstrings.
Superstrings have requires at least ten dimensions to explain away the multitude of particle families and forces.
Now they can be made to work in twistor space. That means it only need our 3 dimensions and their `reflections` ad time….


BTW, you can watch <b>The Elegant Universe</b>
This three-hour mini-series explains why string theory might hold the key to unifying the four forces of nature.
