Multiple Dimensions

According to what we think we know, there are four dimensions:  length, width (depth), height...  just like a box or a cube with the fourth dimension being time...  time has a past, present, and a future.


Some scientists believe that there are multiple dimension because of string theory...  Click here for a simple explanation of the ten dimensions.  If you decide to read about these other dimensions, let me warn you that once you get to the fourth dimension, you may have to read the explanation several times.


If this super string theory concept proves to be true, then, we are also possibly looking at multiple universes or what some refer to as parallel universes.  But, are these additional universes really parallel?


Say for instance you decide to go to Myrtle Beach, SC and you are driving down the beach road which is parallel to beach and this beach is also parallel to the ocean.  So, there are three items that are parallel to each other...  which means this is how additional universes might appear...


While this concept has some plausibility, each of these universes would lack depth.  They would only have width and length.


A better concept might be three 18 wheelers positioned side by side without the cab in front.  Now, each of these trailers has width, length, and height.    However, there is space between each trailer which would not be there because each of the universes would be touching.  This touching would be such that one could not distinguish one universe from another.


If these universes did overlap, then it might be possible for someone to cross over from one universe to another...  in order for this to happen, one would have to be able to see the other universe which according to what we know or believe to be true is not available in our current universe.


So, how would this be possible?


The most likely reason for this can be found in the concept of super string theory that postulates that these strings of energy are vibrating.  If they were to vibrate at different frequencies then that could be the basis for different dimensions being available at different frequencies.
