Quick Primer on Multiple Dimensionality

Features: Current EventsCritical Path Innovation: PhysicsFree Tagging: Multiple Dimensionality

The New Scientist blog posted this nifty piece as a primer for thinking about multiple dimensions.

The article covers most of the first 10 dimensions, takes a pit stop at 1.5 dimensions. There are links which explain why thinking in terms of, for instance, 6 dimensional space. One of the quick things that I learned was that thinking in 5 dimensional space it is possible to prove that electromagnetism and gravity are two aspects of the same force.
