I was listening to a morning radio show the other day where they were talking about String Theory and how one of the predictions of String Theory is that space-time has ten dimensions. We're only able to perceive the three dimensions of space and one of time, so there very well may be things out there that exist that we're not aware of. It's possible that we're all connected on some other dimension that does not differentiate between the living and non-living, the way we do in this one. Anyway, I believe.
