When I tire of prowling the internet for primal opioid satisfaction, I like to curl up with some brain-warping specualtion about life, the universe and seven-dimensional branes.

A good source of this can found by Imagining the Tenth Dimension. Rob Bryanton guides us through the realms of time and space and those elusive extra-dimensional realities. Rob is a really cool guy and he's really into this stuff. His enthusiasm is contagious.

Thanks for your kind words about Imagining the Tenth Dimension, John. It's been fascinating watching people's reactions to this. Some people call it mind-blowing, while some people don't get what I'm trying to do: there are a number of different schools of thought creatively blended together in this project. If you type tenth dimension faq into google you'll find a blog entry linking to the many tangents I'm exploring.
I have posted a link to your entry in my Interesting Links section at the tenth dimension blog.

Thanks!
