Quote:My take on The Real Marty's post is that it doesn't matter.  To us, there is no difference between the two things.  Say time was just another dimension.  That means time is part of a matter and that there is no "before" or "after" because time exists at all at once. We will never see the world from that perspective.  We don't even see 3 dimensions, we just figure out the third one exists.  Predetermined is the same thing as "free will".   If you thought about something, is this really "free will"?  Or should you really be thinking about where that thought came from?

After reading this post, I actually googled how many dimensions are there and there are varying numbers ranging from 4 to 12...I always understood there to be 4 but there are scores of websites and different entities claiming that there are 10 + dimensions...

<span>Apr 3, 2014 - However, once she derives the equation for how their light moves through space, she finds that it is best expressed in four dimensions. Then, after much thought, she tries to think of ways to describe gravity and light in a common theory, which seems to require at least ten dimensions"</span>

In the 1990s, mathematicians working on the string theories of physics discovered the likelihood of there being at least ten dimensions in existence, not just the four dimensions that we had acknowledged before"

 

There are many more pages claiming double digit dimensions
