Imagine that there are ten perpendicular dimensions called symmetric two tensors.
Four of those are spatial directions and six of them temporal.
Or four of them are temporal and six of them spatial.
I can't tell you one of those two.
But there are additionally either four or six extra time dimensions or six or four space dimensions.
We have to gain access to break out of flatland.
We don't know we live in flatland.
And I know what that technically the name is fiber dimension, what it is.
We have to gain access to it, which is discovering that somebody gives you an obsidian rock that has a property that you've never seen before called pinch to zoom.
So I need to make the distance to the nearest star small so I can go with reasonable speed.
I don't need instantaneously.
If I have something four light years away and I can make it 100 feet away, I can walk 100 feet easily enough.
I can push something.
So the idea is if I can gain access to the fiber...
the distance becomes relatively immaterial.
So if you think that these physicists are working on this and all these... No, I didn't say that I think... Okay.
I'm saying if anybody... Is working on that.
