While watching an episode of the 'Through The Wormhole,' series, I was surprised when Morgan Freeman asked, "If, according to String Theory there are nine other dimensions, why can't we see them?"
The best answer I can come up with is:
The nine dimensions of string theory cannot be detected by humans because they lack a sensory organ that can detect these dimensions.
The process of seeing objects requires eyes connected to a brain. The process of hearing sounds requires ears connected to a brain. The process of smelling a scent requires a nose connected to a brain. The process of tasting a flavor requires an array of taste buds connected to a brain. The process of feeling objects requires touch pads attached to nerves connected to a brain.
Therefore:
The nine dimensions of string theory cannot be detected by humans because they lack a sensory organ that detects these dimensions.
Or it might be that String Theory is a false theory. And there are no extra dimensions.
I watched another movie; it's title is The Book Of Eli. I must admit that I found the story to be utterly ridiculous. I continued watching it to the end for one reason, and that is not because Denzel Washington did his usual magnificent job of acting. He did.
No; the reason I watched the entire movie instead of turning it off halfway through was because of the compelling presence on screen of Mila Kunis.
God, she's a beautiful young woman
