And Then There Were Five....

Five dimensions, that is.

Depending on what cosmology turns you on, there are either three, four, eleven, or a number of other dimensions in our ordinary universe -- the one that you and I live in, and the one in which I just typed this sentence.

And this one.

And this one.

You get the picture.

But apparently, mankind will eventually peer beyond the edge of the visible universe and see...

Five dimensional space.

Why five? Why not four? Why not six? Why not eleven?

Who knows?

For more information, see this interesting article.

But is it really five?

What's the matter? Never mind.

What on your mind? No matter.

And so the infinite wheel of cosmology turns. Sort of like a soap opera, no?
