Why Why 10 dimensions?
B-) How is this encyclopedic? Why isn't the title nominal? --ESP 06:02, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
What is Encyclopedic?
"Anything academic - Someone or something that would be mentioned in a textbook or research paper, and which is notable or famous at least within its field."
This is a topic that is discussed in books such as Michio Kaku's book "Hyperspace" and on prominant websites dealing with string theory. The existing Wikipedia pages on string theory do not cover this issue.
Name of the page.
"Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature."
This "name" was taken from sources that discuss this issue such as: http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/~quanv/String/string9.html
If there was a better name in use I would be glad to use it. "Dimensionality of the universe" or "Dimensionality of String Theory" are possibilies, but I have not seen these terms used in the string theory literature in relation to the issue discussed here. JWSchmidt 07:56, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Wikibooks for "education"?
I was initially inspired to start this page when I saw this page. However, I have now become aware of the possibility of putting "educational" information into Wikibooks. I am exploring the idea of moving this page to this book. JWSchmidt 15:39, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
