Talk:11-cube

String theory?[edit]

I'm okay with keeping geometry content, whatever the string theory connection. Tom Ruen (talk) 19:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The point is as far as the 11-cube is concerned, is it notable? When exactly do they become not-notable? The hypercube article can say anything at all interesting about hypercubes in general, I don't believe the 11-cube has any separate notability. Dmcq (talk) 19:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I accept notability is an open question. I pasted the String theory claims below. I can't see anything about an 11-cube in the papers. Tom Ruen (talk) 19:25, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is notable for its use in identifying Zero-norm states in M-theory, a conjectured 11-dimensional version of String theory. In this field it is known as a Jennoid after high-energy physicist Jen-Chi Lee, who first proposed its use.

And I couldn't see anything about Jennoid either. Pretty much says it all as far as I'm concerned. Dmcq (talk) 20:32, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you think it might be notable I think I should raise an AfD on that. Dmcq (talk) 20:35, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've de-prodded it; it's not a hoax, just the next in the series of hypercubes after the 10-cube. Whether we need an article on the 11-cube though is another matter. They've got to stop somewhere and 10 seems a good round number. I'd support restoring the redirect, which leads you to the only interesting thing, the image, while that article also includes the numbers of edges, vertices etc. up to 11.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 02:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The hoax bit was the bit about it being called a jennoid and named after someone with a load of citations that didn't say that. Agree 10 is a good place to stop. I'll turn it back into a redirect.
