Brian Greene: The Search For Hidden Dimensions
Brian Greene explains how extra dimensions may solve several problems in physics, and gives his stance on the possibility of a "multi-verse". To learn more about String Theory, watch Brian...

[music] [airplane engine] Brian Greene: We have found, over the last hundred years, that a very fruitful way of thinking about the universe, is to allow for the possibility that left-right, back-forth, and up-down, the three dimensions that we all are immersed within, we move through freely in day-to-day life... We have found it useful to imagine that there may be more than those three dimensions of space. And, we have found that, at least theoretically, using mathematics, if you engage that possibility of more than three dimensions of space, certain problems of physics, all of a sudden, admit to a solution. And this is an idea that goes all the way back to the early part of the twentieth century, around roughly 1920, when a German mathematician T...
