Are these other dimensions keep going along with our own? Like let's say I change my mind on what tie to wear to work, would the me who wore the tie before I changed it still go to work wearing that tie when in real time I am actually wearing another and theoretically there be a million of me wearing a million different ties at the same time?

[10thdim]

@woody0900 Yes, that's the basic idea of Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation. Google that for more info about that theory, which was proposed over fifty years ago but is becoming more accepted now. In a nutshell, the versions of the universe with other outcomes continue to exist, just as real as the version you're observing, within a "phase space" (another phrase worth reading about if you're not familiar with it).

Thanks for writing!

If the speed of sound and light are different, then how come the audio and video of this are synced?

[10thdim]

@madgreenb That's a good question. Since you are likely viewing these videos from only a few feet away, the difference in speed results in only a small discrepancy. It takes roughly 1 millisecond (ms) for sound to travel a foot, so the 2 or 3 ms delay is not enough for us to perceive. But what about a movie theatre? Sitting at the front of the theatre or the very back of the theatre, there is quite a difference in the audio delay, but most of us don't notice because our brains tend to adjust.

@10thdim Tu es très cool, mais je comprends seulement un peu. Tu parle le français ?

[10thdim]

@hemp987 Merci! Désolé, mon français est très faible.

the most amazing thing in this universe is how you come up with this stuff and never did drugs. LOL

love you rob.

Just because your eyes don't see higher dimensions, it doesn't mean you haven't evolved to navigate them. Every time you predict upcoming events, plan, and make decisions according to what you think will get the results you are after, you are navigating the 5th dimension. A 6th dimensional shift is more complicated, and will always have a 'logical explanation' as to why something changed, usually in the form of a 'shift in perspective', because now the change always was, but not truly.

So if all possible outcomes exist, this comment could potentially receive the most thumbs ups?

[MrSmigul]

@woody0900 into my past,when i was small or in to the future,not definite future,but alernate future that could occur,so in this way you do flow with me in existence

[MrSmigul]

@woody0900 you are refering to alternate realms that would be the same as yours,in 3d,time exists in our dimesion but is irrelevant in other dimensions,3d world is based on material,other dimensions do keep going along with our own but they don't "flow" like our own,lets say you live in fourth dimension and i live in third,we live along,i cannot see you because you are outside my vision,but you can apear to me because 4d is interconnected with third dimension,but you can go from my perspective -

[Merlinreturns]

We're thinking inside the box when we try to invent physical instruments to detect subtle energies. The way to experience the higher dimensions is through a mind trained through meditation. One day, not too far in the future, the scientists will have to accept that their most "cutting edge" finding isn't cutting edge at all. We only need to look to the deep meditation traditions of countries like India & some Egyptian texts to find the answers. These theorists are only rephrasing ancient words.

My god, are these intelligent Youtube comments?

Which universe am I in this time?

[Teddy143Fresa]

traveling the point of the Tesseract chain through the fold repeatedly and sliced just that out you have waveform. Add a right dimension and you end up with a wavelength worm?. The tesseract points then represent matter through frequency shift. add a dimension is then tracking the points of phase and their travel through, no?

[CALIJOE13]

@woody0900 The fact of the matter, you still made up your mind about what tie you wore. For a tie or you, it is a physical 3D object in this universe.  An alternate physical reality cannot take place in the 5th dimension. Only the idea. Now whether an idea can manifest into reality in a non physical dimension. That wouldn't make much sense to me.

I like to think we have free will... but from our point of reference, birth to death, all decisions have been made. But we did make them. Instantaneously.

very fascinating Rob

but also very abstract

intelligence will grow in generations, and in a few 100 years, this will be common knowledge

[travb35]

this type of science parallels the realm of mysticism...
