The Tenth Dimension

5ySriU A round of applause for your blog post. Fantastic.

Muchos Gracias for your article.Thanks Again. Cool.

I didn't mean to imply that I actively nrroaw down a universe of options when I write, but that it's something that everyone does, consciously or not, as part of the writing process.I don't think I do it consciously or particularly successfully!

I value the blog.Thanks Again. Much obliged.

LAc2oE Really enjoyed this article.Much thanks again. Fantastic.

I just shit out my teeth

Interesting theories, including the comments. Sadly nobody can ever really prove they are right, we can all provide evidence but there can be almost no way to totally disprove any other theory. Thusly creating another dimension of theory... Nah jk

I barely understood this...maybe if it was explained better?

This is an interesting theory explained illogically. The "ant" example is fundamentally flawed and misrepresents the 3rd dimension. It would be better if this guy had picked a single shape and worked upward from there. He could have inferred the entire multiverse theory along the way and it would not have sounded like 1950's junk-science filmstrips.

if i were high while watching this, i'd be freaking the hell out...

The video is so dumbed down that it completely misrepresents any dimension past the third. It's like saying look at this colour it is yellow...now imagine the colour 'abc'. Now look at 'abc' and imagine 'def'..etc. It is all crap based on crap. You CAN'T imagine with perception anythng past the third dimension. No drawing with lines has anything to do with representing it. Other domensions are possible and probable but they have nothing to do with 'imagining' anything. We can't. We can only 'accept' evidence as per quantum events. Trying 'to imagine' them misses the whole point of dimensions beyond our perceptual senses. We can only verify the existence or not...not understand them.

Can you repeat that? I zoned out.

Well actually its a dimension within a dimension INCEPTION.

Hold on, I got one. Clearly, we actually exist in the twelfth dimension, and all of the minute subatomic particles are actually an infinite universes interacting on a hyper scale, which, because we are relatively so big, we barely notice. In the same manner, each of these universes was created by transformation of a gamma ray - it wasn't matter, then it was. This is a minute version of our own big bang, and eventually, we will meet with an anti-verse and annihilate, turning back to energy on a far higher dimension.

You didn't include Einstein's restriction that space and time are dependently related. That is why he called it space-time.

Holograms Vs Dimensions (Please excuse my lack of English) The theories of existence of dimensions are in decline since the hologram theory is somewhat closer to reality and a logic that apply to all parties. The only problem that still has the hologram theory is the insistence of the existence of time as part of our existence. We are subject to time as comprehension mode of reality for us, as a model of operation, as values that we use every day to govern ours and live but not to exist. "I think therefore I am" is a reality that needs no time. Time as we define it; based on space and movement that at the same time define themselves using time again have by itself no sense. These are elements that we use when we are late, to explain how big is our TV or how far is the remote control. Take away the concept of time and consider the past as something, not that it existed there but that exist now and the future as something, not as something that will exist, but that exist now and all fits better leaving this present as a temporary reality without real time values. The past in my imagination has little to do with the past of others peoples, the concepts learned, my experiences, my memories are totally individual and unique and only relate to the outside world in imaginary way that only match the details that are subjective by both parties. Remember a person's appearance, but in fact his appearance is the result of an impression left in our brain which in turn is the result of reflection of light which in turn is the result of our inability to see the separation between atoms in the body. The impression left in our brain is totally and exclusively personal is unique and unrepeatable, and remain standing in the "atime". The future does not exist as a permanent fixture in the "atime" but as a result of this moment, in the same way that a laser beam changes its point of impact with every movement of your hand, in the same way as a result of in this moment act change the future in the "atime". This leaves the present as something real that is the legacy of impressions received and that in some way shape our behavior and marks the point of impact in the future, but again the time is not necessary for this model. As a result of eliminating the time, the remaining dimensions lose their identity and definition, since in fact the result of our understanding of three-dimensionality is not based on time, is again based on concepts recorded in our brain. As a result of extending the arm with an open hand, we can grab the glass of water and quench our thirst. Each of these "instant photography" of the action is the result of the "recorded" previous actions generated by impressions in our brains that reside in the "atime". With respect to three-dimensionality of the glass, is the result of light reflection and property to resist the touch of our fingers and them sending the signal to our brain and comparing with the impression that exists in our "atime" if we are adults or leave it engraved if it is the first time I we grab a glass. And with respect to quenching the thirst; not entering in chemical reactions that produce fresh drinking water but in the impressions in our brains, some of which is very possible that we both (you and me) experience in this very "moments" and yet are separated by the "time." The world we live in is as real as we see it and as different as seen by the neighbors, we have adopted to communicate with sounds (more or less similar) printed in our brain, to name objects and features we associate with social norms; brain impressions (snapshots of activities that emit light reflection from different angles) accepted and standardized. This scenario, in which we represent our lives, is a place with limits beyond which we cannot go, risking losing our ability to continue recording impressions in our brains and ending only with those who have, namely death. Hologram theory fails when establish itself with the concept of time; and is the very same bases of it definition which perfectly explains the unreality of time as one of the factors. When changes are detected as result of a distant action;(snapshots that trigger the theory of the hologram), the only thing that was happening is that the future was changed simultaneously, please allow me to use this wording as the existing standard way of communication and not as a justification of time. One of the impossibility of "travelling" to the future, is that the future is not something that we can access itself, the future is a combination of all our actions and the entire world actions and the present incidence of each of them, I can lose my impression recording ability tomorrow (If I die) for own actions or other actions and in both case the result will be the same only the origin of the action change. And with the past; we can return to our past (in fact we do with our memories) but we cannot go back with the world because the entire world we have to go back at the same time. Hence, our memories are short of "some" of that light and energy charge and that missing part is the fact that we are not doing the "recording" in our brain as they are already done and we're just playing them back. For those we love photography is a way of understanding returning to the past; when we take a picture, is recorded in our brain in some special way when we viewed it again; are more than mere memories something like if they were recording again. I have no doubt that there are other universes and worlds that we can’t see in the same way that other sounds or colors that do not hear or see and coexist in parallel with the one we perceive, but access to these other worlds is limited by the laws of this world in some cases by the lows of the others worlds and may be possible in others. For example, consider a world where time does not exist and is not static, where the movement is not through space but through knowledge: Think of the word "Rush" and ask yourself where that word was ... you do not know where was but you found it; we know the exact location and we instantly retrieve it. Think of a world where you know the city of Hurs (in the same way that the word Rush) but has never been there (and assume for now that has never been to Hurs), you will be in Hurs in the same way, speed and scroll than with the word "rush." Both words have the same letters in different order only, you do not confuse them, do not know where there are but finds them instantly and at the same time are totally different and have different impression in your brain. Dimensional theory is based on concepts of the "dimension" to use their own terms but assuming that all other worlds are of the same Dimension or adjacently which is very convenient but unrealistic, based on mathematics which are applicable to this and other similar lay down but not extra polar worlds where the material is not physical, but only in concepts and ideas have physical properties of weight, shape and duration. In a nut shell, our existence is a dynamic present where the past fill our “atime” in order to project us to the future and where we will take with us, all impressions recorded in our “atime” when we or some else decide to end our recording. No doubt that at that time we will move to a different world. Rafael

@Stephen facefuckingpalm

From this single point, we get another Big Bang....

lol, it took me a while, but i understood the joke eventually

Maybe God/Heaven is the 4th dimension...

This might not be true but it's a cool theory

I am the 11th dimension.

star wars and startrek fans! get out of Science and phisics!!

it does not exist... Science is base on facts, scientists now days, think of it like if it was a religion... they believe in things that they haven't seen... they believe in theories upon theories... there are only 3 dimension, no more. no less.

brilliant.

So if you were that one point of 10th dimensional space, then you would be everything that can happen in all universes at any time. Everything at every time, yet all at once. Boggling.

hey how about this to blow your mind all of you "math is absolute" people: knowledge is justifiable truth, meaning that in order for something to be known it must be proven to be truth. now in order to know your justification for knowledge is sound, you need a justification for your justification... this infinite need for justification means that the justification of knowledge is impossible, therefore true, justifiable knowledge is impossible to obtain. anyway thats just some weird philosophical theory that i found that was kind of interesting, like the 10th dimension.

i hate you stumble

I feel smarter now

Arguing about this is like arguing about God. You can't prove it, and all that's going to come out of it is more bigotry. Not that I'm not interested in all possible theories concerning life, the Universe, and everything, I believe that we have some other issues we as glorified meat puppets need to resolve first...

This video makes me cry, as a Physicist I have to say most of the "explanations" provided in this video are oversimplified from the string theory which itself is outdated.

its a double rainbow all the wayy

whoow..this is cool..

All this is based on the assumption that the 4th dimension is time. I don't know where that came from...

I just got lightheaded, thats so tough to imagine!

ONE word....Ow....oooocch BRAIN FREEZE!!!!!

ouspensky. kant. don't fall to idealism--CAN'T WORK.

Very nice site!

Hello! bfeegag interesting bfeegag site!

If you are going to think so abstractly as to accept this as fact or even probable due to mathematical proofs and equations, think of this. Any human invention can be manipulated anyway a human wants it to be, and seeing as how math is merely an invention of the human brain, it can also be manipulated, sometimes so far as to prove such an abstract claim as this one. Throughout history, many mathematical proofs have undergone additions to them specifying exceptions to the proof, and these are concrete proofs, this concept still has several critics and is no where close to being concrete. Then there are mathematical proofs for things that are visibly not true, such as 1 and .99 repeating are mathematically equal, but if you look at them, they obviously arent. Im not saying this is true or not, im just saying that the arguement that says this is BS and the argument saying its true because of mathematical proofs are very similar in validity. Science is unprovable, mainly because hypothesis' must be falsifiable, meaning they can be proven wrong, and they will always remain falsifiable, meaning they can always be proven wrong, therefore, they are obviously not right...so what are they? We as human beings cannot even be sure that the world we percieve to exist doesnt just exist in our own heads, and every person or thing you have ever come in contact with is just a figment of your very complicated imagination. You cannot actually see anything, the world around you looks like it does because you brain interprets light and tells you what you are seeing. My point is, our brains are very complicated things that no one really knows much about, and math is a very complex idea that came from our brains, it only exists because we say it does, so we can in turn manipulate it. Plus, if you can't even prove that the world around you exists with mathematical formulas, how are you going to sit there and say that this is for sure real because some people who have spent there whole lives manipulating numbers throw a couple complicated formulas and proofs on a chalkboard and tell you its true. Math proves nothing, just like science proves nothing, its written into the basic framework of science, the only thing certain in the world is that nothing is certain. You can change someone's faith in something by using mathematical proofs, but that does not make it true...think about it.

Very nice site!

Very nice site!

Hello! gaefaeb interesting gaefaeb site!

M-theory says that there is an 11th dimension. the problem for most people is trying to understand the differences and placements of temporal and spacial dimensions. the difference between an existence, moving between them and parallel's.

my wang hurts

A number of you naysayers should watch the video all the way through. The last slide says that this is just a way of picturing things, not an accepted scientific explanation.

I'd stay in the "Fifth Dimension". Better music ;-)

No place to go after 10 dimensions? You've only dealt with physical universes! There may be an infinite number of universe-types and an infinite number of universe-type-types that we can't even begin to begin to imagine. Dimensions may be infinite.

to mordoz. i would challenge you to think about it this way. a computer works, do you exactly how. if you started to look at the amount of design behind a computer you would be mind boggle. according to the relationships between matter and other relationships we know certain things about the universe, currently we are able to put the same electron in 2 points at the same time, and the only way this can work is in a multidimensional universe. just because you don't understand doesn't mean it isn't true.

@ Tbeard : "This is all pseudoscience and bs. Sorry it's not real. " Jut because you don't like it, doesn't make it not real. What makes it bs exactly? These aren't idiots thinking this up. These are highly regarded thinkers here with full high degrees. You don't get those for spouting bs all the time. They provide evidence with math....wheres YOUR evidence that its bs? See where I'm going wit this, Mr BS? If its BS, then prove it. Man up and help us understand why it is instead of just trolling

god dammit stumble

well if the tenth dimension is all that can be. wouldnt that include anything that is impossible also. if there is an impossibilty then its possible to be impossible but is included in the 10th because of being all that is possible. so in essence i dont see how there could be more than 10

To terry, It really goes to show that we, as a 3 dimensional, Single-minded, "logically-based" species, are quite incapable as a whole, or in a sense it is extremely difficult, for us to perceive time, matter, or our very existence in any other way than that we have been handed and that we are currently living and perceiving. With that in mind, Who's to say our logic in our universe is correct? Who's to say that our math is correct? To us, Our math, our logic, our ways of life as a human species in our singularity-based universe, makes complete and perfect sense, because it's what we know, what we've created and how our minds can grasp existence as we know it. Take this for example: Another 7th dimensional infinite of time lines, the ruling species aren't actually solid, but instead are just a quantum presence in a plane of global existence. Like each being is a collection of gasses and particles collaborating as a whole with billions of other groups of equally distinct clouds of gasses and particles. Or maybe they are just a Psychic presence with no solid materialistic matter involved. My point being, We are but one possibility of an INFINITE amount possibilities engulfed by yet another INFINITE of systems that contain that infinite amount of possibilities, All contained in the so-called "10th dimension", a virtual bucket containing an infinite amount of hollow marbles, containing an infinite amount of strands of time. Now, terry, About that question of yours about describing such branches connecting universes in the 8th dimension, or the "lines of impossibility" that you quite amusingly hypothesized, we, as humans, are so single minded, so focused on what is, and what we understand, to really attempt to grasp what these connections would be considered. I guess in a sense, you could call it the human "faith" in the "unknown". Such as Christians believing in God, Time just exists, We can't see air, but it's there... These leaps of "faith" that human nature as a whole has allowed themselves to take. All in all, When you really think about it, It seems that the human nature is extremely under-developed, and in time, we'll be able to (dare I say) Evolve into more sentient and more open-minded beings, able to comprehend exponentially more than what our current brain capacities are capable of. Even in that sense, we only use on average a tenth of our brains capacity, and that's on the greater side. Anyway. I've rambled enough. Hope i've opened some minds a bit. :)

Sorry people the man in the video isn't a physicist or even any sort of scientist. This video is bad science.

This video is a little outdated as "String theory" has progressed into "M-Theory" which incorporates yet another dimension, the 11th. Think of the difference between a vibrating string, possibly of infinite length, and a vibrating membrane, possibly of infinite area. Look it up :)

2+2 does not equal 4,,,,kind of. It's not just the concept of time, it's also the concept of math. This is the reason Einstein failed basic math when he was young. To him 2+2 or 9-12, 50 divided by 5, any basic math problem always equal 1 cause it is a "single" answer so 2+2=4 the 4 is a single answer so it equals "1" or according to the video, a single point. Thanks to mathematicians, there are equations that proves it is 4.

believe this crap? a bunch of self-serving theorists who think by coming up with bullshit ideas they're contributing to science. Cant be proven or tested after the third dimension so it's worthless.

which one of these dimensions is the matrix?

Shit man, I'm trippin' balls.

Follow-up to my last bit below about a possible 11th dimension. Zeph's comment about paradoxes makes more sense as I continue to think about it. The 10th dimension encompasses all possible realities for all possible universes. Therefore, a hypothetical 11th dimension would be a way to somehow connect all that CAN exist with all that CANNOT exist: impossibilities, or paradoxes, if you prefer. This would create a single line, in the 11th dimension. You could call "all that is impossible" its own point in the 11th dimension, and end there. Or, maybe (and I admit I'm really reaching here) you could further the concept to a 12th dimension by calling each impossibility its own point in the 11th dimension, meaning there could be infinite connections between infinite (im)possibilities, observed in the 12th dimension. You could hypothetically branch from these 11th dimensional connections between (im)possibilities to reach alternate (im)possibilities in the 12th dimension, and use the 13th dimension to "fold" directly to any (im)possibility without the need for traditional branching. This goes back to my problem with the 8th dimension, which is that the concept of a "branch" at this level isn't well defined.

Hmm. I'm only partially following the logic of the 7th through 9th dimensions. If anyone has any insight into my ramblings below please let me know :) The 7th dimension introduces the idea that a line is created from a direct connection between two specific universes (to wrap my head around this, I'd call it a wormhole, maybe). I'm not sure if this "line" could be considered to have "length", however, or whether that distinction is even necessary - the idea I guess is just that these two points are connected. The 8th dimension can be called the observation that there are an infinite number of connections between universes, in the same way that the 5th dimension is the observation that there are an infinite number of timelines for a given universe. Here's where the waters get muddy, though: the 5th dimension also includes the idea that one can "branch" from one timeline to another. A 5th dimensional branch would be, as one example, your free will dictating which fourth-dimensional line you will follow. Your choice to have coffee instead of tea causes you to "branch" to a specific fourth dimensional line. The 6th dimension is the idea that you can access any point on any fourth dimensional line without using a normal 5th dimensional "branch" like choice or time travel. Instead of accessing a fourth dimensional line through a logical 5th dimensional connection, you can just "fold" to access that fourth dimensional point directly. The part I don't follow is what a logical 8th dimensional branch would be. The implication is that there would be a natural segue from one interuniversal connection to another interuniversal connection, but I just can't grasp what that would be. The 9th dimension, then, only needs to exist as a way to bypass this unexplained 8th dimensional branching, and reach a point (universe) on any 8th dimensional line directly, by folding directly to it. Without explaining how an 8th dimensional branch occurs, however, it sounds to me like you're just describing the 9th dimension as another 7th dimensional line: you're still coming from, and arriving at, specific universes. Regarding the 10th dimension: @ Zeph's comment: "So then it might also be safe to say that omnipotence and omnipresence is the 10th dimension." Interesting thought, but I'm not buying that one. Observing the single point of the 10th dimension is by definition being omnipresent and omnipotent, since that point contains the full duration of all realities for all universes. In order to imagine an 11th dimension, there must be something outside of "the full duration of all realities for all universes" to conceptualize. I'm just not sure what that would be. Time to do some research on that one.

This is incorrect on several points. A.) there are 11 dimensions, old string theory had 10, but the current string theory (M-theory) acknowledged super-gravity's 11th dimension. B.) in both the old string theory and m-theory, there is only one temporal dimension and 9(10 in m-theory) spacial ones, this video suggest multiple temporal dimensions C.)"dimensions 7+" as described by this video are not even dimensions... these "infinities" are parallel universes, separate from dimensions. I don't know if this video tried to oversimplify the 10 dimensions of string theory and failed, or if its just a bunch of BS made by someone who thought they understood. Either way, its wrong. (and yes, Jgrover, math describes these dimensions, and the math may be right, but it doesn't mean its not nonsensical. it may not even apply to our existence [in the same way if you find the area of a square using quadratic formula you may receive a negative answer for one of the two answers, its mathematically correct but nonsensical])

"Time" is not based on our sun. A year is based on our sun, not time. Our concept of time is abstract, not time itself. The universe expands through time and has nothing to do with our sun.

There is a major error in the video's assumption that you can only join distant points by folding in a higher dimension -- and _one_ higher dimension, at that. PacMan's universe simply joins, along the edges. True, you can illustrate that joining by gluing up his square into a torus in 3D -- but this would bend the geometry he lives in (for instance, triangle angles would no longer add to 180), in a way he could detect. You need _four_ dimensions to fold together the edges of a square while keeping it internally flat: but the edges can be the same points seen from different sides, with no external folding at all. That structure will not fit into a plane, but so what? That is not a test for possible reality.

you had me 'til the 8th dimension... but what about extra *physical* dimensions? like, hypercubes? thirty six-sided objects only meeting at 90-degree angles? i can't say i disagree with any of the logic presented here, I just also don't swallow it whole. nice illustrations, tho :)

The only problem with this is the fact that time is only interpretation. Time is a figment of human imagination. It is extremely primal considering the fact that it is completely based off of the big yellow thing in the sky. Good try though.

mindfucked

Fascinating...even if it makes my brain hurt just a little. I think I'll have to watch this a few more times before it fully sinks in.

Wow. I couldn't help but feel dumb while / after watching this video.

Outstanding. Very well done and wonderful food for the brain.

Sorry Mr. Beard. You are wrong. This is not pseudoscience or bs. Physicists have been wrestling with the physical nature of our universe since Newton. The math says that in order for things to exists as they do, "extra" dimensions MUST exist. This is math, it's numbers, it's not open to "interpretation" (example, 2+2=4, you can't change that fact, there is no "interpretation" for a different outcome, two plus two just IS four) Likewise, "extra" dimensions 'just are'. The only questions is how many. The math doesn't say precisely, it only indicates there are at least 6, but absolutely no more than 10. And, by the way, most of this can be 'proven' using mathematics. Get an education, READ the books instead of eating the pages.

So theoretically anything past the 10th dimension is a paradox. If the 10th dimension is the collection of every possible out come in every possible time line in every possible universe, etc., that means anything outside of it would also be part of the 10th dimension. So then it might also be safe to say that omnipotence and omnipresence is the 10th dimension. Interesting stuff, as it's raised a lot more questions for me than answers.

This is all pseudoscience and bs. Sorry it's not real.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I got lost after the 4th dimension, but it was incredibly interesting nonetheless.

Whoa, man.

mother of god.... very informative and interesting
