Higher dimmensions and parallel universes.

[Rota]

the fourth dimension is time....

A dimension is "time."

It does not have to be the 4th. It can be the 1st dimension, if you want.

[Prodigy the 5]

You said that they would be parallel universe. And that we need to have a point of intersection or better yet a point of contact to cross over. While at the same time being a higher demetion that we as 3-D ppl can't physicaly interact with. But how would we explain ghost, the sence of god, good an evil?

Whould this be proof that the parallel universe be in contact? As in tiles on the floor, the universes would be touching at the sides. And if so would there be a way of crossing over? And how would physics come to play? Do they follow the same basic layout as we???


Well idk im just asking questions ^_^

same here. Reading something like this really makes you think.

You think this has bl0wn you m1nd!? 10 dimensions might do more damage
well... I have read up on this stuff alot...

here is a good video explaining the theory (2 parts)

Intresting and Thought provoking stuff.... but hell im more confused then a cow on astro turf right now!!!

And away we go!

the fourth dimension is time....

According to the book known as "The Time Machine", but I suggest you read some more modern books The book I'm currently reading is "The Great Beyond"

A dimension is "time."

It does not have to be the 4th. It can be the 1st dimension, if you want.

Exactly! +Rep

The fact is that we can't cross over because they're parallel. Ghosts do not exist, religion is a banned topic here so I can't respond to that, and good and evil is a matter of perception. I'm glad that you think of universes like tiles on a floor (lines on a plane) and that you bring of physics: who is to say physics is the same as ours in another universe?

Any more than 5 dimensions would cause gravity to be too weak, however. Kaluza (I forgot his first name) made a set of equations to unify the forces and it involved five dimensions, although I haven't any specifics about it. I want to watch the videos, but my internet is notoriously slow for me. I'll take a look at them as soon as I can.

Just read it a bit slower and I'm sure you'll understand it

I wonder, because I like to give second chances, if I try to bring up valid logical points, will I get valid, logical answers?

Since imaginary numbers always come in pairs (thanks to the quadratic formula)...

So the quadratic formula usually spits out two numbers. (And not even always. You can have it result in a single imaginary or real number.) That doesn't mean that those two numbers are somehow inexplicably paired, does it? After all, it creates about as many real answers as unreal, and we can't in anyway take that to mean that "real numbers always come in pairs," and we really can't take that to mean that there's two real dimensions, can we?

However, this is where human reason comes in. If there are three "real" dimensions, could there not be three imaginary dimensions?

Your leaps in logic are a little tiring, I'm sorry to say. With this logic, if there are 37 flavors fo ice cream, could there not be 37 flavors of cake?

(This is kind of under the camp of: "The number of pirates in the world are decreasing. The amount of Global Warming is going up. Therefore, every time a pirate dies it causes Global Warming ot increase.)

The only way to be able to get into the other universe and still have them both parallel is to leave our universe, cross the infinite emptiness of the plane, and enter the other universe. Possible? Maybe. Will we ever know? Probably not.

Just because two things are parallel does not mean they are seperated by infinite distance, nor that that distance is empty. Another analogy: Take two parallel lines. I can draw them with exactly two inches seperating them. Does this mean that I must cross an infinite emptiness in order to get from one to the other?

Now take two parallel planes. I construct them with exactly two inches between them... I think you get the point.

Basic assumption is 3<5^27.236?

If you'd pay attention to what I say then you see a valid, logical, answer.

So the quadratic formula usually spits out two numbers. (And not even always. You can have it result in a single imaginary or real number.) That doesn't mean that those two numbers are somehow inexplicably paired, does it? After all, it creates about as many real answers as unreal, and we can't in anyway take that to mean that "real numbers always come in pairs," and we really can't take that to mean that there's two real dimensions, can we?

No, you cannot have a single imaginary number. Show me an equation, any equation, that has a lone imaginary number as a result and I will revise that section. Real numbers don't neccessarily come in pairs, but imaginary numbers always will.

Your leaps in logic are a little tiring, I'm sorry to say. With this logic, if there are 37 flavors fo ice cream, could there not be 37 flavors of cake?

If you read correctly you would have seen the key word if, meaning I'm going to play pretend even though it is impossible.

(This is kind of under the camp of: "The number of pirates in the world are decreasing. The amount of Global Warming is going up. Therefore, every time a pirate dies it causes Global Warming ot increase.)

First of all I can't see what you're doing here. Second, Global Warming does not have an amount; it is a condition.

Just because two things are parallel does not mean they are seperated by infinite distance, nor that that distance is empty. Another analogy: Take two parallel lines. I can draw them with exactly two inches seperating them. Does this mean that I must cross an infinite emptiness in order to get from one to the other?

Now take two parallel planes. I construct them with exactly two inches between them... I think you get the point.

Infinity doesn't neccessarily mean a large number; it means something can have no and. Infinitely large or infinitely small, if you will. The reason I said the space between any parallel universes is empty is because anything outside our universe cannot affect us...if you can prove me otherwise, I would love to see the proof. Just so we're clear, you can travel as far as you want and you'll never make two things that are parallel cross.

Please, don't argue with me for the sake of arguing, and don't disagree with me just because I believe in it. Surely we must have some common belief?
