just been reading a bit about this and to be honest i more confused than i was before
anyone know or read anything intresting about this as its really intresing me at the moment
posted it on sj just thought i would see what your thought on it were:idea:
the fourth dimension is time;
time is believed to be relative which gives rise to the theory of relativity where the speed of light is used as a constant instead of time
current scientific opinion is that there are 10+ dimensions many of which are conveniently inaccessible so they dont have to prove they exist…
:crazy_fre
PAY CLOSE ATTENSION!….sorry someone had to say it lol :weee:
There’s a book called Flatland which is a work of mathematical fiction thats good reading for anyone interested in this.
Kind of makes it clear why we wouldn’t be able to perceive other dimensions too, even if they do exist.
Can lead you to being even more confused, but explains the concept of more dimensions much simpler than it does is scientific text books etc.
I got my copy off Amazon for 1p – do a search for it on there if ya interested in this topic.
My LP version of that has written on it “I’ll take your BRIAN to another dimension”, does anyone else have that? :you_crazy
since space has been arbitarily divided into three dimensions, at 90 degrees to each other, 4 dimensional space would consist of 4 dimensions at 60 degrees to each other. saying that the fourth dimension is time makes little sense to me.
The idea is that because the spatial dimensions (length, breadth, width or x, y, z) are basically directions, and relativity theory says they are all relative to the observer and not constant, time is also a dimension because it too is relative and a direction (we percieve the flow of time in a relative fashion and it has directionality because it flows from past to future)
The 90 degree thing is an easy way of representing and calculating spatial position. If you add a timw, or z axis, you can then represent vectors, as they require time to move from point to point…
Or something like that…:hopeless:

i read that experiments had proven the existence of at least 12 dimensions, but was currently unable to describe them
i like this thread =]
anyone know any good books about this theory?
1d is a line
2d is a box
3d is a sphere
4d is a growing spehere, or a growing human, or a plant dying slowly, or cilla making a baby, 4d is just something that mixes 3d with time, so is contantly evolving
5d i think, is when a 3d object has a timeline annnndddd it has one other dimension, i think i remember my resistant materials teacher telling me that gravity is the 5th dimension, meaning that we are actually 5th dimension cos we are affects by time and gravity.
when looking on wiki i found out that mathematics can have any number of dimensions such as N=6 or 7 or 8,

although alcohol puts my vision into 10 dimensions, so i dunno how that works
wow do over the fourth dimension, infinite rules
