Exploring Dimensions and Imagination



Introduction



Mathematics is a powerful tool for exploring the universe, and imagination is equally essential. For imagination to be valuable, it must align with scientific facts, allowing mathematics to enhance ideas by adding structure through mathematical logic.

In recent years, philosophy seems to have lost its way. Its contribution to science has been limited by the complexity of theories like String Theory and Relativity. Science fiction has almost stepped in to replace philosophy by proposing ideas that "might be real." While science fiction is often more engaging, it lacks discipline.

In what follows, I offer my perspective on reality, minimizing the need for deep mathematical arguments while leveraging advancements in mathematics and physics to imagine new possibilities.



Four and More Dimensions

Encouraging anyone to think in four dimensions is challenging. Mathematics helps us break this barrier, and through valid analogy, we can explore additional dimensions with our imagination.

"Sphereland" by Dionys Burgert is a fictional book that demonstrates how our perception of reality might be limited. I recommend this book as a way to address any lack of clarity in my explanations. However, I will attempt to share some thoughts to help you understand my ideas and biases.

Consider a point (.). If you existed within a point, you would be aware of nothing except your existence. If you existed on a line, you could travel from one end to the other. If that line were a circle, you could move forward indefinitely, unable to explain why you passed the same place repeatedly.

However, a person in two dimensions, such as on a flat plane, would easily understand why the circular line is repetitive. Similarly, the two-dimensional plane might be on the surface of a sphere, and a 2D person could not readily perceive a volume. They too would travel around and around without understanding. But then along comes a 3D person, spots the sphere, and sees the obvious reason for the motion.

Now here’s the thing: the environment of 4D!



To be continued but it may take a while for me to get my Ducks in a row and I need to acknowledge

the contributions made by persons in this Forum.

The Spacetime Manifold

The Universe exists as a structure within a four-dimensional embedding space. Our familiar spatial dimensions—height, length, and width—are complemented by an additional dimension in this embedding space, which shares the same characteristics as the other three. These four dimensions are indistinguishable from one another, with no single dimension taking precedence over the others.

Our universe, however, is distinct. It manifests as an n-sphere, an expanding entity within this 4D space. The time dimension differs from the three dimensions we recognize as space. More intriguingly, all four dimensions are unique to our universe and have no counterparts in the embedding space.

In our universe, space possesses curvature, while time has a direction without curvature.

This provides the foundational context and framework for what follows, either as a separate post on this thread or as an edit to this one

 

[Classical Motion]

What is the 4 dimension that has length and direction different than the first 3? The first 3 can exist without time. Can the 4th exist without time?

How is the 4th orthogonal to the first 3? You have said the 4th has the same character as the first 3. What direction is the 4th? AND at what angle.

How about one orthogonal dimension, length, and time to describe it’s motion? That’s much simpler.

Time is not related to space. Space is just emptiness for motion to occur. Motion produces time.

Time and energy are just simply motion. That’s all it is. Space has no motion.

And motion is just as mysterious today as in the past.

The most misunderstood motion is light. Light does not hum like sound. It squeaks. Quantum squeaks. Sound has frequency, light has duty cycle. Light blinks.

Redshift is NOT Doppler. There are NO high galactic velocities and NO expanding space.

The expansion is very slight and creeping, due to the decay of matter and the decay of gravity.

And will continue forever.

Light is naturally space length modulated. That’s how an inverted duty cycle works.

But light has blinded science. Into a false mathematical and information cosmos.

Time is not a spacial dimension. It’s a motion product. And it’s omnipresent. And it’s rate is constant and quantum. Can not be changed. Time itself unifies all motion. And all length.

All of this modern theory comes from frequency of light, and light doesn’t have a frequency.

And no one knows this. So they play with time and space.

The motion in and thru space is a square motion. A quantum character, property, is the squarest thing there is. Restricted with quantum time and quantum length. Producing the quantum effect.

The concept of light is a false concept producing illusions. Illusions of space and of time.

This cosmos is pure mechanics. Hard time. Unbreakable. We are sealed right here.

This is just my supposition to your supposition. And nothing else. Please continue.

I’ve been trying to understand this modern time thing for a long time. I’ll need more convincing.
