String theory? 4th dimension? Space-time continuum? Oh my...

I don't know why I get sucked into these articles about theoretical physics. I'm perhaps at the farthest opposite end of the mental spectrum from math and physics. I'm a "words & pictures guy". Yet here I am, glued, reading more, watching the videos, deep-diving. Theoretical physics isn't for the faint of heart. But it asks questions of the universe and makes us challenge what we THINK we know about the world. And for that reason I continue to read/watch/absorb. Maybe you'll find it interesting too.

...while “math suggests a real possibility there may be more dimensions than the ones we directly experience,” our minds have trouble comprehending just where they could be. Already, we move through three dimensions—left-right, back-forth, up-down—so how is there any room left?
