I was reading an introduction to the string theory on the Web, and it was 
mentioned that six out of the ten dimensions required by the theory are “curled 
up”.  Is it possible that certain properties of matter manifest themselves in 
the four perceptible dimensions but actually (also) exist in one or more of the 
curled up six?   Could one light year in our perceptible dimensions become one 
nanometre in the curled up six?  If this were the case, would light take a year 
to cross one nanometre?
