Dimention of the Universe.

[science_man]

What dimension is the universe in?<br /><br /><br />Using some indirect reasoning I concluded that the universe is 4D. <br /><br />View here: http://picasaweb.google.com/nick722/Theories/photo?authkey=lqMCsX-JLb4#5047459717612625730<br />The link will be gone in 48 hours so view quick.<br /><br /><br />I know theres something wrong in the little 1 page proof but I want to know what dimension the universe really is in. Reply!

I assume you mean 4 <b>physical</b> dimensions plus time?<br /><br /><b>Our</b> Universe can only contain 3 physical dimensions plus time as a 4th dimension from <b>our perspective</b><br /><br />That's not to say that there aren't other dimensions "inside" or "outside" of the ones in which we exist.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012..

From what we can see, the Universe exists in three spacial dimensions, and a 4th dimension of time. <br /><br />Like Dragon said, there could be many more dimensions that we can't perceive, or that haven't been discovered. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.

Yes I assume that I mean 4 physical dimension. <br /><br />Does anyone know of a theory that tells what dimension the universe might be? btw take a look at the link I gave for clarity.

I looked at the link & found it incomprehensible. <br /> Are you thinking of String Theory? <br /><br /><font color="yellow"> String theory is thought to include some 10, 11, or 26 dimensions </font>/safety_wrapper> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.

From what i can tell, you seem to be addressing the Geometry of the universe.<br /><br /> http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/cosmology/geometry.html<br /><br />http://www.nature.com/nature/links/031009/031009-1.html<br /><br />And the most important link...<br /><br />http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/features/exhibit/map_shape.html <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"<font color="#333399">An organism at war with itself is a doomed organism." - Carl Sagan</font></em> </div>
