"An extra dimension may be curled up like an unimaginably small ball, they said"
"the notion that a series of extremely tiny, vibrating strings may lurk beneath the level of quarks and leptons."
"at least one of these tiny dimensions might, in fact, be large enough to measure"
"Somewhere within the Planck scale, or at extreme energy levels, an incredibly small extra dimension may finally combine gravity and electromagnetism"
The trend here seems to focus on the extremely small size of this very real realm or domain of an extra dimension.
If this extra dimension is indeed proven to exist then its effects penetrate into our three dimensions. That small-scale activity means these extra-dimensional effects have been operating within our three dimensions throughout the history of our universe.
The reality of this extra dimension (or dimensions) means that the neuro-circuits in the human brain have been and are--at this very moment in time--being affected by the small scale and mysterious forces of this extra dimension.
Perhaps the millenia old search by humans for a previous and/or a subsequent existence beyond this one can be attributed in part to the effects of this extra dimension on human consciousness--the teeming and seething electro-chemical neuroactivity that is constantly occurring across an individual life--not to mention the almost infinite number of neuro-transmissions that have occured cumulatively in all individuals across human history.
The effects of another dimension on human thought may be profound. The staggering variety and volume of the neuro-operations involved in human awareness may compensate in some way for the extremely small energy scale of this extra-dimensional interactivity.
The discovery of this new dimension may be extremely important in that it paves the way for some kind of synaptic connection between God and Science.
Even between Life and Death.
