Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More?
shelflife writes "Nature.com is reporting that there may be evidence of 6 dimensions. Galaxies seem to behave as there were more matter in them than is actually visible. 'One explanation, they say, is that three extra dimensions, in addition to the three spatial ones to which we are accustomed, are altering the effects of gravity over very short distances of about a nanometre.'" Update by J : Like most of string theory, this is acknowledged by its authors to be "extremely speculative."
That in at least one of the six that hopefully the geeks get the girls :P

This is clearly false and evil. The Time Cube has exactly 4 dimensions.

Please alter my pants as fashion dictates.
Now I'll be getting email about increasing the size of my penis' fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensions!

Alert: The fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensions were slashdotted today due to uncontrollable inflow of nerds, geeks, and other creatures.
To keep the traffic flow normal, mirrors have been provided on the seventh, eighth, and ninth dimensions for the earthlings...
This is why the theory of relativity is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more gammas or some other kludge, like gravitation being the same as acceleration.
This is why Newtonian physics is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more integrals or some other kludge, like momentum being preserved.
This is why bakery is a joke. Whenever they run into a problem, they throw in more meal or some other kludge, like lowering the temperatur of the oven.

Some lawyer sues someone citing some imagined harm caused by the additional dimensions.
There are like twelve dimensions here. Don't feel jealous though, they are really boring. There is not even any ketchup, and not in the extra dimensions. When I went to the car, then the gravity was different, so I thought so. There is another dimension, but it is oriented left on top, so arranged laterally. With the extra dimensions, lucidity is beneficial but orthogonal to our clear destination. I anticipate an increase in coherency, thought may suffer but I think a good drive will clear my mind. There is health but in the yellow, it is vaporous, and at such speed some clouds are quite hard. Be oviparous, but not before it hatches!
Occam: I seem to have misplaced my razor...

...and if you call before the dupe is posted, we'll include an extra 2 dimentions at NO ADDITIONAL COST!*

Know what I like about atheists? I've yet to meet one that believes God is on their side.
Yeah, they should 'stay the course' instead. That's what real men do when they're proved wrong.
That's wha the NASA is currently preparing to deploy the Very Lage Flashlight (VLF), which will give us insight even into quite dark matter.
Unfortunately, they still have problems figuring out how to exchange the twenty million AA batteries powering it once it's in space.
