Why M-theory has exactly 10+1 dimensions? Some combinatorics with tensor indices will do.

    The dimensions required in bosonic string theory ($26$), supersymmetric string theory ($10$) and M-theory ($11$) do not admit explanations rooted in "combinatorics with tensor indices". If on the other hand you asked why M-theory has exactly one more dimension than supersymmetric string theory, and didn't constrain how we're expected to answer, that... would probably be a duplicate anyway. But it'd be a question much better suited to this site. – J.G. Sep 15 '22 at 19:05
