Math does not take into the account the space between the numbers.

Einstein had an elegant idea, and was able to apply math to it. But his idea of a continuum left out the fact that in order for numbers to form a line, they needed to have space between them. What makes up that space? He just assumed a line of numbers created a line. But then his theories didn't square up with some of quantum theory, due to the fact that he didn't account for the space between numbers.

When string theory was invented -- it described numbers with space between them -- we mathematically discovered Relativity and Quantum Theory could be merged, and we learned there had to be ten dimensions, but that is where the math broke down, because math doesn't naturally account for the space between numbers. We are stuck. Our machines are allowing us to make a lot of accurate observations, but some smart people have started to say we can't find the answers.

To find them, we have to go back to the old concept of pure visualization, then try to find experimental proof that our imaginative visualizing is correct.

I think the whole thing can be seen in a snowflake. How much more can we see if we use our amazing tools to test visionary ideas that seem good, but are only visualizations or ideas? We can't get there anymore following a road of math proofs. The seven extra dimensions aren't in math. The seven dimensons are in the space between the numbers.
