Hidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace

Good evening Good evening I'm Brian Greene In April 1919 a 34-year-old German Mathematician was in his study sitting on his desk His 9 year old son was on the couch were often being with daddy's working and Theodor Kaluza was there at his desk doing calculation as he often would when all the sudden he opened his eyes wide he slammed the desk with his hands he shot to his feet and he began to sing an Aria from Figaro The program here tonight will explore what was the Theodor Kaluza was singing about he had found the possibility that there is reason to believe that our universe might have more than the three dimensions that everyday space that we all know about the problem that will be the discussion tonight will follow the variations on that theme that have rippled through physics over the last eight decades and we' ll discuss where our thinking is today on this possibility of more dimensions than meet the eye now, to give you a sense of where this idea came from Calabi-Yau
