Re: Interesting Paper

[Tom Manz <tmanz@PURDUE.EDU>]

In my opinion, the question of how many dimensions space has and
how these dimensions interact is going to be important for new
developments in physics.

Here is another interesting paper:

http://www.space-mixing-theory.com/article1.pdf   (The Paper)
http://www.space-mixing-theory.com/abstract1.htm  (The Abstract)

It considers the fundamental problem of how to develop an accurate
model of space.
