Ten dimensions for string theory? Now, it seems like Einstein came up with nine tensors for something or other. If you are going to locate a point in space and time from three different angles, considering time as one dimension, you will need three sets of axes, one for each viewing spot to set up your three lines in space toward the one spot in the time-dimension, i.e. you need nine "tensors" that is vectors with more than three dimensions. Sounds to me like the ten dimensions of the string theory are the same thing as Einstien's nine tensors.
In any case, isn't it probable that both string theory and Einstein's work really belong in information theory, rather than being considered as an accurate description of reality? There are simpler explanations that do not require lots of extra dimensions.
