Here’s a very lucid and accessible, but nonetheless brain smashing explanation of the concept of ten-dimensional space. It isn’t the exact mathematical model that certain aspects of string theory rely on, but it’ll give you some vague idea of what they’re talking about.
The best part about sting theory? To prove or disprove any of it’s fundamental tenets, you’d have to build a particle accelerator the size of the Milky Way. Now that’s what I call science.

Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J. He does the Nerds of A Feather segment with Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor. He also does late shows for Triple J, on which he spends hours playing music and trying not to be too abstract, and writes idiotic articles for Jmag. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is currently performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It's funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and playing WOW. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.
