Nima Arkani-Hamed challenging our minds
Image via Wikipedia
According to this article by CNN, a man named Nima Arkani-Hamad could be the next Einstein of our time.
When the worlds largest particle accelerator (Large Haldron Collider) is finished in Switzerland, Arkani-Hamad and hundreds of other scientists will be testing theories on large extra dimensions, and string theory by colliding protons together. Arkani-Hamad is suggesting that instead of the 4 dimensions we know about, the universe could have at least 11!
I kind of get the gist of what they are trying to accomplish, but can’t put into a good paragraph. If you want to read more into it, I suggest checking out these articles:
