  2. 11th dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_dimension

    11th dimension may refer to: 11-dimensional supergravity , a field theory that combines the principles of supersymmetry and general relativity. 11-dimensional spacetime, which appears in M-theory , a proposed "master theory" that unifies the five superstring theories

  3. M-theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

    In string theory, spacetime is ten-dimensional (nine spatial dimensions, and one time dimension), while in M-theory it is eleven-dimensional (ten spatial dimensions, and one time dimension). In order to describe real physical phenomena using these theories, one must therefore imagine scenarios in which these extra dimensions would not be ...

  4. Eleven-dimensional supergravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleven-dimensional_super...

    Supergravity was discovered in 1976 through the construction of pure four-dimensional supergravity with one gravitino. One important direction in the supergravity program was to try to construct four-dimensional = supergravity since this was an attractive candidate for a theory of everything, stemming from the fact that it unifies particles of all physically admissible spins into a single ...

  5. Introduction to M-theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_M-theory

    However, for string theory to be mathematically consistent, the strings must live in a universe with ten dimensions. String theory explains our perception of the universe to have four dimensions (three space dimensions and one time dimension) by imagining that the extra six dimensions are "curled up", to be so small that they can't be observed ...

    Furthermore, he argued that M-theory's long wavelength limit, i.e. when the quantum wavelength associated to objects in the theory appear much larger than the size of the 11th dimension, needs 11-dimensional supergravity descriptors that fell out of favor with the first superstring revolution 10 years earlier, accompanied by the 2- and 5-branes.

  7. Superstring theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory

    Superstring theory is not the first theory to propose extra spatial dimensions. It can be seen as building upon the Kaluza–Klein theory , which proposed a 4+1 dimensional (5D) theory of gravity. When compactified on a circle, the gravity in the extra dimension precisely describes electromagnetism from the perspective of the 3 remaining large ...

  8. The Grand Design (book) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Design_(book)

    The Grand Design is a popular-science book written by physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow and published by Bantam Books in 2010. The book examines the history of scientific knowledge about the universe and explains eleven-dimensional M-theory.

  9. Health policy and management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_policy_and_management

    Access to care and Rationing are important dimensions of Health Policy and Management (HPAM) because they address the market force that impacts how and when people get health care services. Rationing in health care occurs due to scarcity; everyone cannot have access to every service and treatment because it would not be an efficient use of ...
