How Many Planes are there?

[sk8chik]

According to the science channel, there are 11 dimensions.

haha. really?...

I think those 11 dimensions are based on Super-string theory, or its successor theory- they don't necessarily mean the same thing as "plane"; they seem to describe the peculiar property of the universe Super-string theory predcits to fold in on itself, but mainly on a microscopic level.

I think there may be some bit of confusion with spatial dimensions and planes of existence, as many people seem to come to the conclusion that we are on a "third plane", because we exist in three dimensions, lol. Although there may be planes where it is possible to experience more than three spatial dimesions at once, I think the fact that we experience three is not grounds for any sort of conclusion.

On the number of planes in the universe:

Who knows? 

My tendancy would be to say infinite, because, with the starting point of a universe based on Idealism (which you may or may not accept), with its corollary that mind itself is infinite, the number of planes might also follow that rule; but that might be another misconception, who can really say?
