# My answer to Thinking Like A Theorist: Why is m special? version

As always, this is only my answer - other comments, viewpoints, and reasons are welcome (as long as they are physically correct of course).

In these books from Leonard Susskind (String Theorist) are referenced most of the latest developments on theoretical physics achievements in String Theory with Anti De Sitter Space (anti ADS) where the negative curvature of space creates the illusion of gravity and the need for extra dimensions. Juan Maldacenna and other groups of physics have developed that the dimensions we observe as 3+1 can be degraded to 2+1 if ADS is used.

A great post!

The "equivalence principle" link redirects me to the same page. Could you fix that?
