some FOOD for your lovely little brains.

Aww, that food is too popular.

I think the whole world is trying to view that page right now : )

[sanguinekane]

I'm not even high and that totally blew my mind. Great find!

[make it legal]

yeah i saw i show about string theory. im gonna go back to that site when im high because it kinda lost me at the folding part

[Lethal G]

I found that to be quite interesting.

[pokin smot]

I'm not even high and that totally blew my mind. Great find!

me too, that was really interesting

[halo]

I learned something today!

[420purplehaze420]

i would be lying if i said i understood all that, still interesting though, im to sober to comprehend all this folding and time lines and stuff ill watch it when i get some weed

[Sun Is Shining]

That may possibly be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thanks :D

[S i k]

yeah, that was really fucking cool, ima watch it again when im stoned =]

[koolaidkix]

i just smoked some grapefruit

[SmokingPlatypus]

A lot of that stuff is explained in Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell", also in Stephen King's "Timeline" and Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time"

Astrophysics, dimensional analysis, p-branes, multiple realities, Chaos Theory, the Butterfly Effect (not the movie), and the possibility of time travel are all hobbies of mine, nearly all of which are mentioned in those books and that flash movie.

It's been believed that there are dimensional "strings", some so microscopic that we can't even see them, and some wrapped up in each other..

I really want to check this book out, it explains the theory of multiple dimensions very clearly.

"In the picture we are drawing for ourselves here, we can now see how each of us are collapsing the indeterminant wave of probable futures contained in the 5th dimension, into the 4th dimensional line that we are experienceing as time."

I thought if I wrote that out I would understand it better....but sadly no lol

That was the only dimension I didn't understand


Thanks for that!!!
That was actually really interesting.....thought it was going to be shit at first but it was cool. :)

I'm sorta sure about this. The 5th dimension contains all the possible futures that we can experience. Shaped by every choice, chance occurence, other people, etc. And then, just like the 2nd dimension folding up to form the 3rd dimension, it folds towards the 4th dimension to our "personal time trench", just like in Donnie Darko (If you've seen that movie). I think that's how it works.

Right ok, barely understood any of that, but i got a question for all those "self-proclaimed experts" on this subject... how do u fold these dimensions?? Explain that!! :p
(bet you cant:D)

[crudemood]

yeah i saw i show about string theory. im gonna go back to that site when im high because it kinda lost me at the folding part

i get most of it, but im not quite getting the folding parts either :confused:

[Az.]

No one knows how to....
thats why it's still just a theory.

If you could fold time...you could time travel...and acording to this (if I understood it properly) skip from dimension to dimension, and skip from place to place in an instant.
One dimension would have infinitant posibilities,another dimension would have different infininate possibilities....

But they have only started time from the big bang....so it spans alot further than they make out...(again if I understood it properly???)

the whole folding thing was number 3 with the ant and the bending of the paper so the ant could skip from one side of the paper to the other in a split second...

lol im probably completly wrong

let's see if this helps any... or just makes things even more confusing! :)

You're not folding UP TO an upper dimension. You're folding THRU an upper dimension. You're using it as a shortcut to get from point A to point B ON THE SAME DIMENSION. If you read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle, then you'll remember she called it a tesseract. You never leave the current dimension you're in, you just change your position instantaneously - existing in 2 spots in the same plane/space while this fold is still active.

Using the newspaper example: by folding it you are essentially using the 3rd dimension to modify the 2D plane, bring two points on that plane together to allow the ant to move between them. This travel would be instantaneous and to a 2D observer, who would not be aware of the 3rd dimension, and would seem like well, magic like the guy said.

That newspaper folding is relative to the rest of the upper dimensions, as for you to travel instantaneously inside a dimension, you must use the immeadiate dimension above you to fold the current space/dimension.

Oh great, I've gone cross-eyed. I'm pretty sure that this animation has increased the headaches/migraines I've been having for 2-1/2 weeks.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

How very confusing. His voice droned on too much, it was boring.. but interesting!

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

That gets me wondering... we can't explore deep space because we can't travel faster than the speed of light. But maybe we could find a way to use the 4th and 5th dimensions to bypass the speed of light and reach deep space in the 3rd dimension.

I'm not a physicist. I'm just daydreaming.

This isn't the accepted theory of string theory. In fact, string theory is barely more than speculation. I did a report on it, and actually cited that book.

It's fun to think about.

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

I thought it was called M theory now

[Its a Plant]

Well chowderhead, the original post date is in July. She had already beaten you to it. ;)

[Wesley Pipes]

i remember this thread :)


it made my head hurt :(

[wayoftheleaf]

I watched this movi4e, it was incredible.

[wayoftheleaf]

lol, i understood the movie

[lardman]

That was cool...And weird. And confusing.

[graph]

I thought it was called M theory now

Probably. I only wrote a paper, I didn't actually learn anything about it.:stoned:

[SkatePopwar]

folding..how dioes it all tie in? the ant and the newspaper, yeah cool, but how does a newspaper bend reality..im confused :P very high too, i understood most of it but that. how the fuck would one "fold through" it makes no sense

[bubblebrain8]

how long does it take to load the movie with a 38 kbps internet speed

[BizzleLuvin]

thanks. i read a book about super strings (brian greene's the elegant universe) but had trouble visualizing things. this helped

[BizzleLuvin]

p.s. it took forever to load

[Its a Plant]

whoa my bad dude no need to call me a chowderhead ..
Lol, all in good fun man. It just sounded like a funny word to use. No harm meant. :jointsmile:

[BizzleLuvin]

mmm CHOWDAH (as they say on long island). god i lurv u guys

[Bob the Awesome]

I haven't read much about string theory and such, but after relating that video to "A Wrinkle in Time", I suddenly got the basics on what they were getting at.

Good stuff, gotta watch it when I'm not high <<
