what could be the 5th and 6th dimension???

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

@Aditya A., according to string theory the 5th and 6th dimensions are tiny little curled up planes and you need the Planck energy to open them.

According to string theory the 5 and 6 dimensions are brane world there different types of brane like D,P,D3 brane worlds there are maximum 11 dimensions

@Zahid S, exactly correct, have you been studying string theory lately? :)

Bob Yang - 8 years, 1 month ago

I have heard that there are about 36 dimensions, at max. What about that?

Aditya Ajit - 7 years, 3 months ago

no the mathematical prediction is about 26 , see it , but when five string theory (that gives 26 dimension ) unifies to one gives 7 dimension .

@Zahid Shekh Mohammed – see M theory
