- Program Description
Welcome to the 11th Dimension: In 1995 Edward Witten of Princeton’s institute for Advanced Study revolutionized string theory by successfully uniting the five different versions into a single theory that is cryptically named “M-Theory,” a development which required a total of eleven dimensions. The new eleventh dimension implies that strings can come in higher dimensional shapes called membrances, or “branes” for short. A brane can even be a universe- a parallel universe- and we may be living on one right now.
