Unified Strings (U21 S19) Theory - M-Theory + time analysis - provides much indirect evidence & makes bold predictions!
Re: "M-theory (and string theory) has been criticized for lacking predictive power or being untestable. Further work continues to find mathematical constructs that join various surrounding theories. However, the tangible success of M-theory can be questioned, given its current incompleteness and limited predictive power", this has not been the case for over four years now! I presented Identifying 'True Earth-like Planets' - All New Worlds Are Built On 7_4 (like Earth) Or 6_4 at the NASA Conference Missions For Exoplanets: 2010-2020 held in Pasadena, CA on April 21-23, 2009. In this one-page poster presentation, I showed how Unified Strings (U21 S19) Theory - which is M-Theory + time analysis - provides a great deal of indirect evidence and makes the BIGGEST prediction possible: that of the simple characteristics of inhabited new worlds (including our 'next-door neighbors'), their solar systems, and their global culture! NASA recently took down their website on the conference, but my paper can be found at http://planetnestor.blogspot.com. An earlier version can be found on the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Institute's website. - Ben Franklin 50.154.146.15 (talk) 15:47, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Welcome back. As I've said before, the problem with this is it's your original research. You need to get it published in a reliable source and then let someone else add it to wikipedia. If you read the following 3 links you'll get a better idea of how wikipedia works- WP:OR WP:COI WP:RS Bhny (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Dimension names, measurements, and descriptions?
I know 4 of the dimensions control length, breadth, time, and height. What do the other 7 control?

There are "7 higher-dimensions" or "7 dimensions of hyperspace (hs)" + the 4 common dimensions = 11 dimensions of spacetime... 7D hs + 4D = 11D st - Ben Franklin 71.206.87.9 (talk) 13:55, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Better definition needed
"In theoretical physics, M-theory is an extension of string theory in which 11 dimensions are identified." This is not a good definition. M-theory will not stop being M-theory when the number of dimensions changes (more/less or irrelevant). And if you turn the phrase around (a correct definition should pass this test) you can see that is not correct any more: "In theoretical physics, an extension of string theory in which 11 dimensions are defined is M-theory". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.164.161.163 (talk) 23:40, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I disagree. The definition works for me. - Ben Franklin 71.206.87.9 (talk) 13:57, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

"11 dimensions of spacetime are identified as 7 higher-dimensions + the 4 common dimensions (11D st = 7 hd + 4D)"
I rewrote the intro: 11 dimensions of spacetime are identified as 7 higher-dimensions + the 4 common dimensions (11D st = 7 hd + 4D) - Ben Franklin 71.206.87.9 (talk) 14:29, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would the order of dimensions or which were considered higher matter? Don't all of them exist as one common entity which is not necessarily spacetime as a continuum, but rather as a probable set of values for the amplituhedron?12.187.94.20 (talk) 10:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

M-theory: 10D st = 6 hd + 4D and/or 11D st = 7 hd + 4D
I tweaked the article to read, "In theoretical physics, M-theory is an extension of string theory in which 11 dimensions of spacetime are identified as 7 higher-dimensions plus the 4 common dimensions (11D st = 7 hd + 4D). Proponents believe that the 11-dimensional theory unites all five 10 dimensional string theories (10D st = 6 hd + 4D) and supersedes them. Though a full description of the theory is not known, the low-entropy dynamics are known to be supergravity interacting with 2- and 5-dimensional membranes.

This idea is the unique supersymmetric theory in 11 dimensions (11D)..." The general public is very familiar with seeing/hear "3D", so expressing 10 dimensions as 10D and 11 dimensions as 11D is simple and helpful to string theorists and the common person. - Ben Franklin 75.74.180.52 (talk) 18:34, 23 November 2013 (UTC)]
 * It doesn't appear that you closed your quotes in your first quotation, so I am not exactly certain what it is you have claimed to have added to the article. Any why did you "sign" your post "Ben Franklin" but have an IP address as your username?  This is irregular... and downright weird.  KDS 4444  Talk  13:45, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
