Hey hey, glad to see the http://www.videosift.com/video/Arcade-Fire-Elevator-Session-Neon-Bible-and-Wake-Up sift!

There are no extra dimensions in this theory. I think you might be confusing string theory in here, which using projection matrices to collapse dimensions.

A rotation matrix is mathematically different than a projection matrix.

He does predict many new particles, but right now it is clear that the theory makes new connections to physics that we don't already know.

In reply to this comment by krumzy:
Im still reading through the paper (have to catch up on some lie algebra first) but the rotation is significant because it can help you (somewhat) to visualize the different projections onto lower dimensions which describe the effects of different feild forces: gravity + standard model forces.


Although i have to admit im far from understanding any of the actual physics underlying the math, im not too sure about this one. From what i hear, even though it has received some praise, the science community in general hasnt exactly welcomed this guy with open arms. Maybe if this theory helps with research into the Higgs boson, the media will be justified in their hunt for the newest Einstein. Lets not forget, if you read this guy's bio you will see he is very media friendly unlike your typical theoretical physicist locked up in his office, rarely seeing the light of day let alone encountering any human interactions. This one could just be gaining attention for purely superficial reasons, so stay skeptical.
