Ah, the M-theory in an 11-dimensional theory. If I'm not mistaken, it also has an advantage over the older superstring theories of allowing a more natural merging of gravity with the other three forces.
The current leading candidate though (to my dated knowledge) for a 'theory of everything', superstrings, suggests that we live in a 10-dimensioal universe, with one dimension of time, and nine spatial dimensions. The reason we don't see any evidence for this is that the six extra dimensions of space are curled up on themselves so tightly that they cannot be observed.

Scary. I learned alot of this 10-dimensional theory from reading animorphs books :/
Anyway, back to temperature. How could temparature be a dimension? Temperature is just a messure of how fast the molecules are vibrating, so how could movement in several dimensions be labeled as another dimension, or something.

All of these dimensions could be known as Time itself. Well, I'm more of a fan of quantam physics and theory, however... because then could anyone imagine a 378943638D?
Well, in this big old Universe of ours, anything's possible.

I think your refering to the multiverse theory, but im not sure, maybe im just getting over my head. I read some article in "new scientist" where the theory was that there was a finite number of universes (A really large number to big to print, but still finite)and each one held one possibilty of what could happen in the next instance.
Eg. Your sitting on your butt reading Thatguyagain pretend to have a clue about what he's talking about. In one reality, you think "meh, this guys a moron". In another, you think "I could sure go for some nachos with ice cream". In another, you have a heart attack and drop dead.
Yeah, anyway...
