Six-Dimensional Space-Time Theory
eldavojohn writes "PhysOrg is covering an interesting year-old paper that proposes an alternative six-dimensional theory of space and time. George Sparling's proposition, based on Einstein's general relativity and Elie Cartan's triality, is a twistor space (which I've only read of in Roger Penrose's latest work). The gist is that space-time is modeled not by four dimensions but by six, and that the extra two dimensions are time-like. Sparling is hoping that tests from the Large Hadron Collider will help prove his theory. The paper is heavy but the PhysOrg article summarizes it nicely."
Why would you get modded down for mentioning The Dig. It was a very cool game, and I'd really like to play it again...
Knowing about The Dig actually confirms your nerd status... Being an old game that is quite obscure.
Never did have time to finish The Dig. But a while back, I did at least fire it up under ScummVM, though I don't know how much of it works that way.
The living have better things to do than to continue hating the dead.
