the 10th dimension

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!!
(bet you cant)

[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

[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.

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.
