I heard a plane won't get off a treatmill in 10th dimension. Is this true?

why wouldn't they make a video of the 11th dimension, that's the accepted number according to super string theory, right?

I will have to read up on Euclidian Space... Thanks for putting that on my radar.

BTW... I was watching a program yesterday about parallel universes & string theory & stuff, and for some reason I began to ponder some things:
1) Why does the water in a toilet spin as it goes into the drain?
2) Why does it always spin the same direction in the northern hemisphere, but in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?
3) Why does the force in a magnetic field always "spin" in a certain direction with respect to the related electrical current (right hand rule)?
4) Is there a place where this is reversed (i.e., an electromagnetic 'southern hemisphere'?)
And finally...
5) Are these rotational forces (water going down a drain and the magnetic field around a current) somehow caused by the same underlying -yet unseen- cause?

Cyclones and hurricanes are another matter.

If water in a toilet or sink in the Southern Hemisphere spins in a different direction than a toilet or sink in the Northern Hemisphere it is because the sink/toilet is shaped differently or how the water is introduced into it. It's relation to the equator has nothing to do with it.
