I'm going to sound rude here, (imagine that, on the internet). It is my personal opinion that this is, as the brits say, bollocks. You can see quite eloquent statements in the low ratings reviews on Amazon, at least smarter-with-words than I have at the moment.

I disagree with what he's saying, but I'll stand up for his right to say it (see above).

Quote from one of the Amazon reviews:

“I bought the book, because I am a graduate student in string theory and was curious about “new” ways of thinking in ten dimensions…. Although the book is not intended to be a description of “real physics”, as he points out in the introduction, his ideas on ten dimensions and the alleged connection to string theory and the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics couldn’t be stated more explicitly and couldn’t be more wrong.”

The author of the book actually has no physics background. While the video here is beautifully packaged it is mostly just sciencey sounding poetic babble. Also, it leaves out the fact that the latest and greatest version of string theory, M-Theory, uses 11 dimensions.
