This is a pretty good little video that tries to describe the 10 dimensions of super-string theory in a way that we can understand them.

Update! Regarding time in two dimensions, this is a cool article.

That video was really easy to understand, but I don’t know if I like that theory. I’d have to come up with a reason, though, and also, I don’t yet understand how this ties into subatomic strings. I think you’ve blown my mind, though.
I love the one comment that recalls a great quote:
“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”
-Grouch Marx
I have always liked “syntactic ambiguity”, like that old XKCD where changing the phrase “big-a$$ car” to “big a$$-car” is a hobby.
