We’ve spent some time going though (to be painfully honest) the first chapter of Lisa Randall’s ‘Warped Passages.’ We’ve basically been talking about coordinate systems and how to conceptualize other dimensions. I looked over the rest of the book and it has some really good things to offer but I don’t have the time or energy to finish the book but I would like to go over some of her research and some ideas about more dimensions, so I think I shall be mostly consulting Wikipedia for most of my information. (oh by the way, my vacations over so I will hopefully be posting every day again.) So let’s take a looks. When consulting Wikipedia it aperies that there are 3 main ‘uses’ or applications for extra dimensions, Kaluza-Klein theory, Large extra dimensions and the Randall–Sundrum model (these apparently have to do with each other), and superstring theory. My next proposition is that we take a quick look at each of these applications and what they have to do with extra dimensions.
