About: Proof of F-Theory being equivalent to a Toroidal Compactification of M-Theory   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

How does one solve this? It doesn't make much sense to me. F-Theory is obviously a 12-dimensional theory, whereas M-Theory is 11-dimensional, and when compactified on a torus, 9-dimensional. So, how can a 12-dimensional theory be equal to a 9-dimensional theory? This doesn't make sense to me.
