dimensions in string theory

Let’s start with the idea of string theory. The concept that Gravity and the three laws of quantum physics, Strong, Weak and Electromagnetic must have a unifying law that determines all of their movements. In the general thoughts of string theory which I won’t fully go into here it is believed that the concept of multiple dimensions is not just possible but necessary to explain why our world remains so constant.
So when bringing forth the idea of multiple dimensions I come back to a simple thought I held about religion for a very long time.
I used to contemplate religion, astrology, ghost sighting and all the extra- sensory beliefs as one true idea that has diverged into separate stories that we don’t remember their equal beginnings. I don’t believe in god. I do believe that people do “see” things on occasion. Most of them are easily explained away either by simple scientific anomalies or by psychological road bumps in our mind. But not all can be explained away. I began to feel that there were actually other dimensions colliding with ours that cause our vision of the world to sku in an unexplainable fashion. Because we are unable to comprehend the sku humans began to explain it in stories of ghost and religion.
But think of this. What if you were an ant on a piece of paper. You were walking around the middle of the paper and suddenly the edge of the paper rolled up and appeared in front of you. Upon stepping on the edge the paper rolled back out into it’s flat position. Suddenly you the ant are on a completely different space and you don’t really have any knowledge of how you got there. You were just transported from the middle of the paper to the edge. Well that is my concept of the next dimension after time. We see it cross our plan occasionally, but just because we don’t understand it doesn’t make it either not true or an explanation of a soul and god. It just states that we have a lot to learn about physics.

So going back to string theory. If there are divergent parallel dimensions then I could be alive and dead at the same time. I may also be seen in another dimension as a ghost image when I collide with that dimension but it doesn’t make me a soul from a dead body just another dimension colliding with it’s parallel.
