Oh, and this imagined world has 11 dimensions, not the four dimensions – up/down, left/right, backwards/forwards and time – we have in our so-called real world.

According to string theory, there are at least 10 dimensions of space, most of which are impossible for humans to perceive.

To summarize, string theory says that there are 11 dimensions. We know of 4 physical dimensions, and there are in addition 7 other dimensions.

While still theoretical and highly debated, the mathematics of string theory suggests that there could be multiple dimensions of time.

String theory is a powerful idea, unfinished and untested, but one that has persisted for decades despite inauspicious beginnings.

String theory postulates that there are an additional six dimensions, but they are so tightly curled in the fabric of space-time that they are beyond microscopic – so tiny that the size of one ...

Here's everything you need to know about String Theory, one of the most spectacular (and controversial) physics theories ever developed.

Physicists have a new scenario of the universe's expansion at the Big Bang that may explain why our universe has three large spatial dimensions.

“I think of myself as a seer”, writes Lee Smolin in this no-holds-barred attack on the science and sociology of string theory. “Why are string theorists not seers?” In my opinion, toe ...

String theory has dimensions popping up all over the place. We are currently at over 10 dimensions. But how would living in that many dimensions affect us?
