Continuum Hypothesis


What do we mean when we say "continuum"? Here's a description Albert Einstein gave on p. 83 of his Relativity: The Special and the General Theory:


The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from any one point on this table to any other point by passing continuously from one point to a "neighboring" one, and repeating this process a (large) number of times, or, in other words, by going from point to point without executing "jumps." I am sure the reader will appreciate with sufficient clearness what I mean here by "neighbouring" and by "jumps" (if he is not too pedantic). We express this property of the surface by describing the latter as a continuum.

So here we are describing something that is inherent in Superstring theory, and who is going to pave the way for me to understand this?

By coming to the realization of the continuum, spoken by Einstein, it has made me realize, the value we could have assigned energy, and what did Kaluza do for Einstein that Einstein did for us?

By adding another dimension, Kaluza, united the theory of gravity with Maxwell's theory of light.

So how do we talk about the geometrical proportions assigned to the movement of energy and we have realized, that something is inherent in the nature of gravity that is also embedded in Einsteins continuum.

So how is this natural progression moved through the understanding of strings, and we see a whole developmental process, based on the undersatning of the standard model, rewritten in the expression of the U(1) beginning and the move to r, as a assigned energy value? So we now know what the value is in KKTower?

We understand the relationship to the progression of time, in the direction strings move and what is embedded in this movement, but the understanding of the continuum? Matter in motion. Energy to matters form.

If, The continuum is energy, and energy has dimension, how would we recognize, the matters, in all dimensions?

Any corrections or opinions?
