Cool, and if I follow you correctly that means we have an infinite number of planets and on one of them a monkey is banging out the Complete Works of Shakespeare on a typewriter.

Time has nothing to do with dimensions. wrestler said that time is the same for all dimensions, I think he's right. If you we were all 2D, like stickmen on a page, why would time be any different? No - SPACE is the right answer.
Much in the same way a 2D character would not understand how he could walk in one direction and end up at the same spot on our 3D Earth, so it's the same for us trying to understand the 4D Universe.

Time stands still for no-one.

Besides, I thought The Pistol Star was bigger.

true, and on another is a monkey (actually I think it's supposed to be a chimp, but I digress) banging out the Complete Works of Shakespeare except that he gets Hamlet's most famous soliloquy sightly wrong and begins it with "To wee, or not to wee - that is the question"

Yes that planet's called earth.

Time is a dimension in String Theory.

Then have I just disproved string theory?

"Wearth", actually...

I thought that string theory is beggining to be dismissed by many physicists?

InkL0sed wrote:Nope, that's oversimplifying the matter. Many physicists have always dismissed string theory because it is incredibly hard to test for things that are so tiny they make quarks look huge. But the math is so elegant that string theorists think that it must be true, at least to some extent.

Science is all about common sense.
Remember Newton and the falling apple which led to the "discovery" of gravity?
Or knowing that you shouldn't mix the red chemical with the blue one if you like the shape of your face....

To sort of side-track things a bit, I don't think it is possible for something to be almost infinite. Something that goes on forever has no end. For whatever large number you can provide that might be close to infinity, infinity is actually an infinate times larger than that number.
