Hello you guys (aren't there any girls at this forum?)

Maximum symmetry often is an unstable state and therefore corresponds with the false vacuum.
A Phase transition often goes with symmetry breaking.
When a symmetry breaks, a large quantity of energy is dumped into the vacuum.
The originaly 10 dimensional universe was unstable and in a state of false vacuum.

When we translate this in reverse back to water, we first get the bose-einstein condensate, when this is heated we overcome some other states, like ice, water and steam.
after this the water molecules desintegrate into hydrogen and oxygen. at 3000 K we get plasma like our sun: a gas of electrons and atom-nucleï. heating to 1 billion K and the nucleï dissociate into neutrons and protons like in a neutronstar. further heating to 10 trillion K and we get a gas of dissociated quarks and leptons. heating to 1 quadrillion K and the electromagnetic force and weak force will be united. 10 powered by 28 K and the electroweak and strong forces are united. The Gut symmetries appear. 10 powered by 32 K and the GUT force and gravity are united.
now we have a gas of superstrings. all the symmetries of the 10-dimensional superstring appear.

My question:
In the last case when we get a gas of superstrings, did we localy get an unbroken 10-dimensional space?
Heavy cosmological objects respectively plasma stars (like our sun), neutron-stars, quark-stars (i read about it somewhere), and at last black holes.
are in a black hole the 10-dimensions united?
and maybe a black hole isn't a singularity because of the outward pressure of the superstrings inside a blackhole?

When we heat neutron gas we get quark-lepton gas (all fermions). further heating and we get the fase-transition of the union of the electromagnetic and weak force (all bosons). the symmetry SU(2)*U(1) appears.
Is this an indication that the Calabi-Yau space at this stage is also divided (as our universe is into 4 and 6) into an 1-dimensional and a 2 dimensional space?
and further heating when the GUT summetrie appears,
the SU(2)*U(1) unites with the SU(3). is this an indication that at this stage the Calabi-Yau space itself was further divided into 1, 2 and 3 dimensions (together 6 dimensions)?

1, 2, 3 and 4 (space time) are added 10-dimensions. is this a coincidence?

(I know it is not as simply as this, but is it all ignorence?)
