Quotes About M-theory

Consider the apparent dimension of the universe. According to M-theory, space-time has ten space dimensions and one time dimension. The idea is that seven of the space dimensions are curled up so small that we don't notice them, leaving us with the illusion that all that exist are the three remaining large dimensions we are familiar with.

If] there were such a God, I would like to ask however did he think of anything as complicated as M-theory in eleven dimensions.

So string theory and M-theory are really the same theory, except that string theory is a reduction of eleven-dimensional M-theory to ten dimensions.)

I expect that regardless of where the search for the foundations of space and time may take us, regardless of modifications to string/M-theory that may be waiting for us around the bend, holography will continue to be a guiding concept.

M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find.

It's an exaggeration to say that I came up with M-theory.

Unlike the standard model and general relativity, nary a shred of evidence has turned up in support of supersymmetry, superstring theory, M-theory, or extra dimensions. Why, then, do these ideas have so much backing among theorists? Factors such as mathematical beauty, symmetry, and completeness_ strikingly similar to some of Einstein's criteria_ all come into play. Plus there aren't many other credible alternatives.
