Holy Jesus, I didn't even know there were so many dimensions.

Someone I know studies theoretical physics, and is graduating on string theory. He says most of the things he does only work in TEN dimensions... Way too abstract for me... :wallbash:

And as for those puzzles...

I guess it's safe to say those cubes are really only in 3D. Add time, and you get the 4th. Not that this makes them any easier to solve...

About 4 or more dimensions in space: I propose a world wide ban on more than 3 dimensions.
We don't need them.
They only mess things up. :blink:
Things worked fine until they showed up
Let's face it, they are nothing but trouble :angry:

Join the "3D Liberation Army" TODAY!

Oh, and I never solved the ol' Cube either...

As far as I know, the dimensions added beyond the third (apart form time) aren't real dimensions! Those are just "mathematical fiction" used in matrix calculations (like the use of "tensors" to solve relativity... )
It's almost like in those 4/5-D cubes, which are however tridimensional!

I took one look at the 4D one and gave up :bleh:

I'm even way to Stupid to Solve the 3d one...

Who managed it to Solve the 5d one must have either Jedi Powers or been more intelligent than Steven Hawking... :tai:

Someone actually managed to solve it? :w00t: Wow...

[U-Boat Commander David]

I dunno...

It's even worse then I thought... I just read on wikipedia:

Originally posted by Wikipedia on String theory
The only problem is that when the calculation is done, the universe's dimensionality is not four as one may expect (three axes of space and one of time), but twenty-six. More precisely, bosonic string theories are 26-dimensional, while superstring and M-theories turn out to involve 10 or 11 dimensions. In bosonic string theories, the 26 dimensions come from the Polyakov equation (see technical details in the preprint "Quantum Geometry of Bosonic Strings - Revisited"). However, these results appear to contradict the observed four dimensional space-time.

:wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

We'll have to wait a while before someone makes a 26D-Rubiks cube I guess

I didnt even understand the wikiquote, how'my sposed to do the puzzle?

Ignore that hooey, and see it as an ordinary, old fashioned 3D puzzle. It is confusing, but there are only 3 dimensions here, really.

I'd say those scientists had too much coffee with too much sugar in it. Beside being barking mad, of course...
