String Theory

This might seem like a crazy theory, you need to know the other dimensions of String Theory and how they interact together before things start to get interesting.

This is just my simplified explanation of these, I highly suggest you research this theory with an open mind. The other dimensions aside from the 3 we know of are as follows.
