{{w|String theory}} hypothesizes that there are many more than 3 {{w|dimension|dimensions}}, it's just that we can't see the rest because they're "rolled up." A common metaphor is an ant on a tightrope — it has two degrees of freedom, one along the rope and one around it, but from far away we can only see one. | {{w|String theory}} hypothesizes that there are many more than 3 {{w|dimension|dimensions}}, it's just that we can't see the rest because they're "rolled up."

The title text refers to a {{w|linear particle accelerator}}, or "LINAC", which is used to create high-energy particles. Incidentally, the glasses give their particles one mega-electronvolt (symbol {{w|MeV}}) of energy, which is not particularly high for a particle accelerator. The title text suggests that such moviegoers should try the accelerators at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, {{w|CERN}}, since they are widely known for producing the highest energies in the millions of MeV, and thus have the best chance of unraveling the small dimensions of string theory. | The title text refers to a {{w|linear particle accelerator}}, or "LINAC", which is used to create high-energy particles.
