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, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer for Yen magazine, PC Powerplay, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.
