  1. I was wondering...does any one have any suggestion for a full orchestra? I know, I feel way out of season saying this, but its the only thing we've got at my new school! We've got a horrid assortment of instruments...several clarinets and trumpets, a horn, a trombone, an oboe, a bassoon, a flute, a viola, a violin or two...

    Hopefully more to come later, but if this is the best we've got, what music can you guys suggest? I'm familiar with lots of purely band stuff, but with those pesky strings-and our conductor asked for ideas, which none of us were able to offer up!

  2. Awww...I had to take an exam in every class...we even had to play scales in band! The rule at WC is that only juniors and seniors can exempt anything, and even then only two classes. So, as I'm only a sophomore...

  3. There may or may not be...thus the debate between modern physicists/cosmologists.

     

    In supertring/M Theory there can be 10 or 11 dimensions, whereas in "bosonic string theories" there must be 26 to make it all work out. Or you could see variations on the manifold theory inwhich there are only 6 or 7.

     

    The number of dimension varies widly with the different models of the universe, based on how complex it must be to make everything work out as we know it. However, like in string theory, in many instances you can't see/prove some of them as they are curled up beyond visibility. So with no available evidence, many scientists are skeptical...

  4. Everything that I've read has used the analogy of a 2-D universe, such as ants on a flat surface...the fourth dimension would be like realizing that the surface is shaped into the surface of a sphere.

     

    However, I don't think that we could visualize it at all without cutting it down like that...
