That was a lot to explain in that short clip and I didn't quite understand it all, but it was quite helpful in helping me understand the ideas of extra dimensions.

I guess the tenth dimension is where imagination stops. Aren't theories grand though?

I think with just that video clip, it's impossible to think about. I'd have to read the book to even try and pretend to understand. I watched that clip and by the end I'm thinking, "How do they know this?" I'd like to know how assured they are of their knowledge of the other dimensions, but since I'm not a mathematician or physicist, I could probably never be satisified. It mentions string theory at the very end, and I'd like to know more about that, so reading the book would be good. All that would explain how angels can move like they do, and how Jesus did (and how we will, since we will be like Him). But string theory is different, isn't it? About what holds all things together. When I heard that on the PBS show about string theory, I thought that was really interesting, since in the bible it says that all things are held together by or through Jesus. It's like imagining what Jesus is made of. And it's funny that atheists use this to say that it proves God doesn't exist! What logic are they using?

That's funny. I understood it right away. I was having a double scotch at the time, though.

Oh. I guess I tried to early then. I'll view it again after my double brandy. I wonder if that's the trick to being a physicist?

Honestly, that clip was a bunch of nonsense. Unproved theories building on unproved theories, nice.
