This was a thought that had occurred to him the moment he had learned of it. Dwight had confirmed that String Theory was at least partly true. Apparently, the three dimensions each had many more dimensions curled up inside them to such an extent that they resembled one dimension to beings such as himself.
The analogy that was often used to help understand how this was possible was to consider looking at a thin wire from a distance. At a distance, even that three-dimensional object resembled one dimension. An ant or a squirrel walking on a wire would only be able to move back and forth on the wire along one dimension, even though the object itself was three-dimensional.
It was postulated that such a phenomenon was occurring with the three dimensions of reality as well, except to a much more exaggerated extent. The dimensions were curled up on such a tiny scale that one would have to break the Planck length in order to access these dimensions.
