However if the strings have no thickness (always unity) then there is no need for the 11th dimension. In any case, in all currently competing theories, this Dark Matter is strings vibrating in six extra spatial dimensions.
Infinitesimal not unity. Unity means, literally, "of unit". So "thickness unity" depends entirely on whether you're using metres, inches, h=c=1 or whatever.
You call out others' knowledge when you've demonstrated quite clearly that you don't have much of a grasp on the concepts you're trying to discuss. I think there is but one clown in this thread.
Spoiler:
Chuck asked you a question, and I've asked you twice now to address it. If you want a discussion, then take part in it. If you're not interested in discussion and just want to keep spamming the same crap whilst ignoring everyone's replies, go right ahead, but don't be surprised when you get banned.
Galileo was a man of science oppressed by the irrational and superstitious. Today, he is used by the irrational and superstitious who claim they are being oppressed by science - Mark Crislip
