Hi everyone
Oof, no, I'm not up to my eyes in Stephen Hawkin's incomprehensible-to-me theories but an art installation inspired by them. Here is the sentence:
"Supercordes et espaces à onze dimensions accueillent des p-branes."
There are a few g-hits for "supercordes" in French and many in English for "supercords" but they appear to be about either a movie or a trouser fabric!
While "supercords" seems the most likely translation I have nothing to back it up. Has anyone read "The Universe in a Nutshell" or other Hawkin's theories?
Many thanks from outer space ;-)

From LGDT:
"Définition :
Corde quantique vibrante, unidimensionnelle et extrêmement petite, mesurant autour de 10-35 mètre, qui possèderait une très grande énergie et qui, à cause du phénomène supposé de la supersymétrie, serait associée à une autre dans un espace-temps comportant 10 ou 11 dimensions."
HTH,
Adam.

Comment: "(Feeling very sheepish)... I hadn't thought of "string" for "corde" - not surprising that Hawkin's theories are beyond my grasp. Thanks a million Adam!"
