Imagining the Tenth Dimension

I keep seeing this link around, and it pisses me off to no end. This guy has imagined himself a whole cosmology, had some spiffy animations made for it, written a book on it, and mixed in some fancy references to quantum mechanics and string theory, and people are falling for it like flies.

It’s utter bullshit. Not only is it not science. It’s theology. And like most theology, it makes no sense even on its own terms (hint: if everything possible is contained in the tenth dimension, how come there are no eleven-dimensional worlds there? Surely, they are possible).
