I found this link on Reddit today: https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.08771

There's 11,232 page paper with no pictures.

Imagine writing something like that... good god! I'm impressed. And it's high-level physics!

Not even close. It's written for a journal. It's all math equations. And thousands of pages of charts. I can't even imagine the work that went into this. It's crazy to look at. I understood the title and that's about it. LOL Looks like something about math in the 4th and 5th dimension? No idea what that even means.

WOW - Taking a while to even load the thing, my second time now, I "cancelled" the loading on my first try on the iPad... now on the laptop, I guess that person really wanted that PhD and needed to "show" off how the calculations came out to be... "hats off" to them for such an amazing piece of work, it may have taken them the entire "3-4 years" of that PhD program to write up the work!

Can you imagine how long it took to get all of the formatting correct? That alone would have taken me a decade.

If all you're doing is scanning through to make sure that the formatting is correct and spending 5 seconds per page on this, it would take you nearly 16 hours to do so.

Well the 4th dimension is time and I believe that the 5th Dimension was a musical group back in the 60's

Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, Go Where You Wanna Go, and Wedding Bell Blues were their biggest hits - listen, you will know them even if you think you've never heard of this group.
