10 Dimensions: Example of great visual communication

Posted by Aaron Gerdes Sun, 06 Aug 2006 15:13:00 GMT

Via Collision Detection: This website for a book on string theory contains a visual guide to imagining the 10 dimensions of string theory .

Maybe I’ll blog another attempt at fighting my way through Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe? This could become a science blog. Or not.

Actually, my interest in this movie is what an excellent example it is of the simplicity and clarifying ability of visual communication. Numerous patient friends have tried to explain string theory to me in the past—but never have I understood it clearly enough to re-articulate.

Interested in science or not, try this one out as a case study in how to illustrate your thoughts well.
