LOL, and the 8.th dimension are fragment shaders? :lol:

yep.

Makes sense to me.. if the 10th dimension is a single point containing all possible universes based on all possible actions which were started by all possible actions then somewhere in this 10th dimension.. My Game is finished

Mine too!! In one of those points, no other programming language exists in the universe other than Pascal both for communication between species as well as for Programming. Life is Pascal and Pascal is Life!

On the flip side of that , there must be a universe where COBOL is the only form of comunication........

or worse VB :!: :!:

It's a nice way of "visualising" the higher dimensions through common analogies, and a neat use of Flash.

One thing that should be pointed out is that while the evidence for quantum mechanics is vast and the technological applications of it are numerous (including the very device that allows you to read my post), the evidence for string theory is completely non-existent. Worse, string theory is far from complete, and has not even reached the stage where falsifiable predictions can be made, so it is at best a sophisticated set of hypotheses, ideas, and mathematical structures that might one day form part of a successful scientific theory. Or it might be a monumental blunder, a long chase up a blind alley.

You know it does make you wonder though... if one of the next generation computers (R&D by HP and funding by DARPA) is going to be using quantium physics, does this mean that we've started to breach the threshold of working with quantium mechanics?

Maybe we're in the only dimension where String Theory exists

I'm sure that in some universes Cobol is the predomenant language, but it's second to Matress++ and in one universe Languages program people

Hey guys! I figured it out.... :shock:

:fuzzy: I'm acending to the next dimention.... byeee[size=11px]ee[/size][size=10px]ee[/size][size=9px]ee[/size][size=8px]ee[/size][size=7px]ee[/size]eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok I just had a thought for a TV series based on string theory.

TV Series Pitch
Proposed Series Name - "How long is a piece of string" or "Is that a string in your pocket"

Summary
This is a cross between Ground Hog Day and String Theory using the 10th dimension.

Episodic Content
Each week we see the continuation of the previous episode, but told from the perspective of the next parralell universe in the linked list of infinity parralell universes.
So this opens up limitless perspectives and possibilities.

If anyone wants to send me royalty cheques, or would like me to help write some episodes, I can supply bank account details
