Look.... Dr. Farkas... Face It, You know I am right...
I will tell it to you One More Time....
It goes like this, Dr. Farkas, and I use the term Doctor loosely in your case, but I digress, this is how it goes...
Bosonic string theory in a general spacetime dimension displays inconsistencies due to the conformal anomaly, as was first noticed by Claud Lovelace, in a spacetime of 26 dimensions (25 dimensions of space and one of time), the anomaly cancels.
This high dimensionality is not necessarily a problem for string theory, because it can be formulated in such a way that along the 22 excess dimensions spacetime is folded up to form a small torus or other compact manifold.
Get It Now Dr. Farkas???
You Really Don't Want me to start counting with my fingers here right now do you Doc?
