Thread: Is dimension a factor in considering time and space.

I would appreciate your input and personal thoughts on the following ideas.
If we consider that we are physically three dimensional beings in a three dimensional reality, how might this create the limits of the observer? If spacetime encompasses all possible dimensions and all dimensions are not physically observable by us, how do we go about defining the parts not in our dimension? If each dimension were an oscillating dynamic system of forces that physically create their expanded state and a timefield is created in each dimension by that framework how do you think it might look?

Can you go into a bit more detail as what you are asking? Are you saying that there is a timefield for each spacial dimension?

Yes that is exactly what I am working to find a way to demonstrate. If for example 3-D is formed by an oscillating system of three forces which keep the third dimension physically expanded in x, y, z and that system creates a timefield across all of 3-D space then that timefield by its nature may be very different from a timefield generated by another spacial dimension. It would create a system by which time moves differently in other spacial dimensions. If then a jump were to be achieved from one spacial dimension into another and back a timeshift of some kind would be expected to occur.

I actually argued this point a while back but came to some realizations ( although I havent completely abandoned this possibility ). My initial take was that when travelling at near the speed of light ... space warps only in one direction but the speed of light stays constant in all directions. So if we have only one time ... then how could the speed of light be constant regardless of if the flashlight was shown in the direction of travel or in the opposite direction or perpendicular to travel? You have different spacial warping but only one contraction of time.

I was told by people that are more knowledgable to me that relativity works all of this out. Maybe someone can address this.

I believe we live in a multidimensional reality, full of holes that lead to other observable dimensions. I think if we want to be able to observe them we need to increase our energy or light. There are many people that claim to have left the earth to travel to other dimensions, some have even claimed that they came from them. Yeah, some of them probably had a few too many hits of LSD, but there are some that seemed to know something more than the average human being did, like they saw something that no one else had. Many said exactly what I did, increase! Energy, light, intelligence, love.

I like to think of it like a boiling pot of water. The water at one time was relaxed, in liquid form, and may even have been inert at one time, frozen. At this point in time though it is heated and full of energy, water molecules moving about very fast, and some escaping their relaxed state, into a higher state, now a gas. The water is like us, a fitting analogy considering we are mostly water.

This is a little more metaphysical than I wanted to go, but the thoughts just seemed to come.

Welcome aboard!

Unfortunately, I can't agree with you.

I know it was stretch, but like I said it was further than I really wanted to go, into the unknown metaphysical realms. I was really just philosophizing, please forgive...

We can observe three spatial dimensions and an extra "dimension" of time. String theory postulates a total of 10 spatial dimensions, while M-theory postulations 11 spatial dimensions. The reason we can't see them is that they're points of curled up space with subatomic dimensions.
