  Physics: What are your thoughts on life in the 4th,5th,and higher dimensions?

  if you do a little research there are many physics forums, discussions, and books about this.

  it's a bit challenging to grasp but it's very interesting.

  if there is life on this higher dimensions, they could see us yet we would be unable to see them.

  A dissapointing answer, I expected more. I am no Krauss or Newton, but come on EoM, I know a little about physics....don't make this all cringeworthy and embarassing. I have distinctions in physics and math. Not that it matters a shit, but there is no substitute for learning a speciality such as quantum physics, there is no short cut. You will end up in a huge tangle.

  I get the impression, dimensions are a new thing to you. I am glad to hear people here are more and more excited with science, don't get me wrong. But High-school kids know there are many dimensions EoM, according to THEORETICAL physics and math. BUT...that is all we can say right now. I knew this at the start of this thread EoM, IT WASN't news to me. Here, check me discussing it only 5 months ago.....

  We can't make any claims about these dimensions beyond they theoretically exist.

  So how you introduce beings and specifically spirit creatures?.......only you know.

  There is no evidence and you have presented none. I wouldn't give a monkey's ass only you titled the thread 'Physics:.....' and wrongly said in your OP that your woo was scientific.

  This is how bad information, junk knowledge, pseudo science prevails. It isn't healthy or helpful!

  No EoM it doesn't....

  one is a dubious internet newspaper famous for ufo stories, the second is a theoretical physics idea based on another theoretical physics idea.

  Do you even know what a brane is, as mentioned in the paper? Put it thid way I have mentioned them here on this forum several times because it is an explination for the big bang, without a god. Brane's negate the need of a prime mover in the big bang. A brane (dimensional plane ) interacting with another brane, is theorised to possibly cause the big bang.

  So WTF are you doing adding a link to such a paper? Is it JUST because it mentions dimensions? Brane theory was born out of explaining the birth of OUR universe, without a god. You are shooting yourself in the foot!

  Brane is short for membrane, did you know that? The theory you have now added, is one where, imagine several pieces of A4 paper stood up on their ends, a centimetre apart. The theory states that these pages, or membranes represent different dimensions. The theory says, if one was to somehow touch another, i.e. One piece of paper touch the next one nearby, then a reaction could occur, in the brane theory this reaction is the big bang. So again, what the hell are you quoting that for?

  Are you just googling 'dimension' and pasting links to what you think backs you up? Because that just failed spectacularly.

  Dimensions are real, we believe we can account for at least 11 ( some say 10) using maths and string theory. Brane theory is nothing but an idea someone had with some supporting math, that by the way has nothing to do with what you said.

  Get out of the deep end of the pool EoM, grab the life ring and kick your feet to safety Buddy :D x

  Just winding you up EoM, no offence meant x But really, it is not at all in line with current physics. Be careful what sources you read and take seriously. In all honesty, educating yourself from straight forward physis textbooks will prove a protection from known science and pseudo.

  I have qualifications in physics EOM...... now again, the WOO you pooped in your OP had nothing to do with the temporal dimension in the video you posted.

  The 3D universe is moving along the axis, the direction of time, reffered to sometimes as the 4th dimension. This is just terminology, as your video said, just a "label". Your video clearly says THIS DIMENSION IS NOT SPATIAL. You say you are a physics forum visitor ..... ahem.... so do explain how these spirits exist in a non spatial, temporal - direction. The 4th dimension is a direction, a right angle to the previous three.... That is all. IT IS NOT a gap, for you to throw a pile of woo into and say 'tada spirits exist!'

  This is your claim, having learned that other dimensions exist (high school science)...."Anyway it's interesting that if there are living beings in these higher dimensions, they would take on the characteristics of spirits to us.and this is based on science, there are higher dimensions, that is absolutely known, but the question is about life on higher dimensions."

  Firstly what is this 'higher' dimension? Where did you see a reference to 'higher' in any scientific source? You are implying a higher realm, a religious zone. This is both ignorant, unjustified and decietful. You then say there are higher dimensions, as in plural and this is absoloutly known. Your physics knowledge is lost in woo. We have used quantum physic, string theory and a lot of math to say there is likely at least 11 dimensions. We have not even the means to comprehend these 'theories' and here you are stating 'sprit' life forms inabit them and that we can see them. Your ignorance knows no bounds. Do yourself a favour, buy some bullshit insurance.... get a library card.

  Also, wheneever you evoke science with fantastical claims, please provide a source. Show us the papers and journals. Physics forums and youtube videos don't count.... Unless it is Carl Sagan of course :D

  well... as they say on talk back radio "i'm a long time listener, first time caller"(poster in this case!).

  i have been a "lurker" for several years, but never had the courage to take the step and join up...until now.. i really want to thank everyone for their insights and comments throughout the forum.

  although i have not contibuted to discussions, i have benefitted very much from all of your comments and observations on all topics.

  here is the situation.... a young 19 year old in our congo had a fallout with his parents because of all the restrictions and jw dogma and moved out of the house last wednesday.. to make the story short, the parents went running to the elders and what was the comfort?.

  coe said: i saw that coming!

  your son never reached out to get baptized.. then the other elder said: don't worry, you still have one left that will be saved.

  Matt Chapter 1 introduces problems from he get go..... It is the lineage of Jesus to David, proving he is the Messiah as prophesied.

  The problem? It is the lineage of Joseph, Joseph being of no relation to Jesus at all......

  Have fun!

  A medieval question for you, if you believe in god....

  many ancient believers of god used cognition to 'think' their way from belief to atheism.

  what initially seems a silly question to reason over, can actually destroy a whole theology.. here is a question made famous by 'saint' thomas aquinas, believers in a almighty god with unlimited ability, please have a think about this..... the omnipotence paradox:.

  "could an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?

  Yes Humbled !!!!! Yes indeed ! x

  Kate- please remember this is not my argument, it is nearly a thousand years old, I gain nothing from you accepting it. It is the start of opening the mind to consider things we were indoctrinated with without question. Illogical, fallible, senseless ideas that were fed to us before we had the ability to rationalise. Makes reading the bible story book to infants, somewhat more sinister when you realise why it is promoted.

  Island man- listen to yourself... an omnipotent being can't by definition be omnipotent if he is restricted in any manner. The emotional attachment to god can cloud the purpose of this question. The second you go into theology or semantics you are missing the point.

  Focus on merely the CONCEPT of 'all powerful' or 'omnipotent' and see that it is a flawed concept in of itself.

  There is no right or wrong answer, you say he cant make something so heavy he can't lift it... well then he has restrictions, that is not omnipotent. Simple.

  The reason it makes your mind noodle, is that it is illogical and flawed. It is clearly the concept of a lazy human, personifying a god charachter and making him supreme and all powerful without realising that it is impossible for anything to have that trait.

  This kind of thinking is exacly the kind of thinking religions hope you ignore. There is nothing facile or vain in considering these issues of belief. Take it to your pastor and watch him/her pat you on the head and announce "you are thinking too much."

  Churches, the only place where that sentence will be said to you......
