String Theory

Relativity
Einstein started out with his theory of relativity that explains how gravity provides the orderly nature of the big heavens - galaxies, solar systems and the universe. It was widely accepted by the theorists.

Quantum Mechanics
Post-Einstein theorists came up with their own - quantum mechanics, which describe turbulence at the sub-atomic level but contradicts the tenets of Einstein's theory. Finding the equation that validates the two theories to simplify the nature of the universe was regarded Holy Grail. For decades, it eluded them.

String Theory
Before, the thinking was that the atom is the smallest particle in nature...then came quarks. Now, the smallest is what they call strings - an energy band that determines the shape and nature of things through its unique vibration. It's so small and unquantifiable that if an atom were to expand to the size of our solar system, a string would be the size of a tree. Strings was the theory that unified relativity and quantum mechanics to explain the forces of nature. A brilliant physicist was able to mathematically present an equation that removed the anomalies to unify the the whole. Todate, it's the closest thing to answering the riddle.

11 Dimensions
We know of 4 dimensions - 3 for space and 1 for time. In space, we have the up and down (1), left to right (2) and front to back (3). As we occupy space, we move through time even without moving (e.g. - waiting). That's the totally of our universe as we know it. The equation formulated by this brilliant physicist however, revealed that on top of the 4 dimensions we know about, there exists 7 more dimensions completely invisible to the naked eye. This is all supported by the math.

This is such a tremendous breakthrough, it shifts the paradigm of conventional thinking. Whereas before, anyone talking about separate dimensions was branded a crackpot. Now, with this new equation, this hypothesis has been validated.

Gravitons
It is explained that a specific type of 'string', the gravitons, are able to transcend through the dimensional barriers because of its closed loop. The other strings on the other hand, have open ends that attach to its dimensional surface and thus remain there.

Ending Thoughts
This is all very fascinating to the physicists but it's really nothing new to the mystics and the yogis, who for thousands of years, through their spiritual pursuit, claim that there are other dimensions the human soul can go to. This assertion has been largely dismissed by the western world, but now, there is a science that mathematically validates its existence.

Perhaps the most common name for such mystical place is the astral planes. It is said that the astral planes contain many dimensions, with kingdoms and inhabitants of varying intelligence. The higher levels have evolved spiritual beings (e.g. - angels) while the lower levels are inhabited by beings of lesser intelligence - mischievous elementals.

In merging the science with the mystic claims of astral travel, I would think that through meditation, we are able to release our gravitons (which essentially still contains our consciousness). Through a process similar to osmosis, it travels out of our physical dimension into the unseen universe (the other 7 dimensions).

I have long wondered about the existence of the astral planes. I've read books and performed prescribed exercises to grease the path for such travel...to no avail. Doing so is the equivalent of warping space and shift my presence through a worm hole. Wow...wouldn't that be the ultimate misadventure for a nomad?
