Imagining the Tenth Dimension (1 Viewer)

This is a honda, but the original post is nearly 3 years old and it's a Friday.

This is pretty incredible.

When we describe infinity as being a “point” in the seventh dimension, we are only imagining part of the picture. If we’re drawing a seventh dimensional line, we need to be able to imagine what a different “point” in the seventh dimension is going to be, because that’s what our line is going to be joined to. But how can there be anything more than infinity? The answer is, there can be other completely different infinities created through initial conditions which are different from our own big bang. Different initial conditions will create different universes where the basic physical laws such as gravity or the speed of light are not the same as ours, and the resulting branching timelines from that universe’s beginning to all of its possible endings will create an infinity which is completely separate from the one which is associated with our own universe. So the line we draw in the seventh dimension will join one of these infinities to another. And, as boggling as the magnitude of what we are exploring here might be, if we were to branch off from that seventh dimensional line to draw a line to yet another infinity, we would then be entering the eighth dimension.

Not without a working Oscillation Overthruster and a rocket car. :hot:

when physicists refer to higher dimensions, they usually refer to "small" or "curled up" dimensions that are orthogonal (at 90 degrees) relative to the normal 3 dimensions. the best example of picturing what a curled up dimension would be like (as i read it in brian greene's fabric of the cosmos) is to imagine a worm crawling along a tightrope. to the worm, the entire universe is the tightrope. he can go forward and backward. and when viewed from far away, the tightrope is truly one-dimensional. but up close, the tightrope has a surface, and the worm can also move around the surface of the tightrope, though the worm doesn't realize this. this 'small' dimension of the surface of the tightrope relative to its length is the 'hidden' dimension.

physicists theorize that our universe also has higher dimensions that are hidden from us because they are 'small' and our motion in the normal three 'large' dimensions overwhelms the motion in the other dimensions.

this whole alternate reality/timeline stuff is nonsense.

Interesting, and understandable. But why is it nonsense?I mean, we cannot prove that alternate timelines/dimensions do not exist, correct?

yes and no. i'd argue that the double slit experiment proves that alternate timelines don't exist in any meaningful way.

read Flatland, by Edward Albott.

We only see that which, too, is confined to our world.
