Rob discusses his way of visualizing the dimensions in a way that shows how each dimension is "full".

So in the 7th dimension, every one of the infinite amount of universes (on the line) has it's own 6 dimensions below, and then there are infinite versions of 0d, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d and 6d ????

[10thdim]

Since 0D is a point of indeterminate size, you can choose to think of it as being infinitely big or infinitesimally small, or any place between. The "point" in the seventh dimension can be thought of a position within the multiverse landscape - so moving to a different position within the seventh dimension and above is moving to a different universe with different physical laws. So yes, that new position defines new unique versions of the dimensions below, just as ours does.

So in one of the universes 0d can be a plane and 4d can be a point???

[10thdim]

0d is a point. Can't make a line, a plane, or a cube (etc) if all you have is a point.

But a point can be one of the positions within any of the spatial dimensions. A point can be at position x on a 1D line, or position x,y on a 2D plane, or position x,y,z within a 3D space... this is how a point could encompass a dimension (by thinking of it as being infinitely large), or could be infinitesimally small. Then it's easy to think about other points in a particular dimension.

It's when we get to the 7th dimension I find it tricky. "Every universe will have it's own expressions of the first 6 dimensions" I think was your words. Let me know if I'm right: the 6 dimensions are basically the same in all the universes through 7d. 0d=a point, 1d=length, 2d=width, 3d=depth, 4d=time (as a line), 5d=all posible (time)lines 6d=all possible and "imposible" lines. But these dimensions look totally deffirent in the other universes?

[10thdim]

Good question. A 2D plane will still be a 2D plane, a 3D space will still be a 3D space, and so on. But what occupies each of those dimensions could be similar to our universe but would more likely be very different. By the time you're in a universe with a different value for gravity, for instance, the way the underlying information becomes reality will be completely different from the universe you and I are in.

I used to think I was smart

[mickblock]

Even though I understood nothing I am consoled by my happiness for this this fellow and the two other people in the world that can actually conceptualize this stuff..

seems so Musatov

The 10th dimension makes that possible.

[brandeezy108]

so if 7d is ONE category of several different universes with physical expressions. 8d would contain ALL categories of all different universes with physical expression. the higher the dimension the more general things become. the lower, the more specific. nothing gets more specific than a 0d point and nothing is more broad or general than the 10d omniverse.

[brandeezy108]

you're really close. but it would be less confusing to people if you treat time as a direction that the 3d point travels. the 3d point is a space. and the 4d "line" is a spacetime. 5 is a probability space you can move through with choices from "now" to the future on. 6d is the wave function space. ALL possible states for a specific universe. we can't move in 6d because we can't make a choice that affects yesterday. 7 is a "line" of universes varying in values ONE constant i.e. speed of light.

[NLXREAPER]

ok this is how I visualize this, if 0D is a point 1D a line and 4D a line of time, then 3D is a point in time.

then going by that logic the 5th dimension is a square of time and the 6th a cube of time. but at the 7th I cant really make much sense of it anymore.

I actually understood this! But one can only theorize the existance of more than four dimensions, we have no way of actual way of experiencing it, or prove they actually exist! But it is fascinating to even think about it.. Pretty mindblowing!
