wow i lasted 3 years in the last science forum, now im banned from all for insanity

who could understand this

Among other things there must be more than three for string theory to work.

The math requires more than 3 dimensions.

If you are not fluent in scientific math-speak you cannot expect to understand the science. The most you will be able to do is watch Discovery channel documentaries where journalists present pretty animated demonstrations of the science which if you are lucky get it maybe half right in a quaint Discovery channel sort of way.

In science given a choice between commonsense and believing the mathematical formalism you must always believe the math no matter how weird the result.

Wiki says a manifold is a math abstraction that models a point to a local neighborhood to the nth. So,

one dimensional manifold –> point relative to a line or circle

two dimensional manifold –> point relative to a plane or sphere

three dimensional manifold –> point relative to a cube

fourth dimensional manifold –>point relative to space-time

The last one being the famous space-time continuum. This can be confirmed by watching lots of Star Trek.

Going to nth, all day long we can do

Fifth dimensional manifold –> point relative to space-time-thought

Sixth dimensional manifold –> point relative to space-time-thought-RAAAID

Sevnth dimensional manifold –> point relative to space-time-thought-RAAAID-etc...

Then there’s the anti-matter piece. So, I suppose, if assuming that a “point” has mass only in the third dimension (i.e., 3d space at a particle level), you could then do an “inverse” manifold starting at the third dimension. So,

Third anti-dimensional manifold –> an anti-matter cube.

But I’m not really sure how the math guys figure in the matter verses anti-matter. I suppose the anti-matter piece could be part of the same set of infinity instead of a separate “anti-matter” set of infinity. But then again, infinity is probably infinity. So they probably just use one set of infinity to include both the anti-matter piece and the matter piece. So, instead of starting all over again from 1 to n, they probably just slap it in the set of n somewhere. So you could just stick an “anti” in front of it. So where 1<x<n, you would have something like

n-x anti-dimensional manifold –> anti-space-anti-time-anti-thought-anti-RAAAID (oops!)

And somehow CloD fits in nearby where you got your anti-spitfires that climb like 109’s and your anti-109s that climb like spitfires and CloD works like a charm on 32-bit XP and STEAM is dead as a door knob.
