5th-Dimensional Camera Project

My approach to visualizing the fifth dimension is now receiving support from scientists at Oxford University! Dr. Simon Benjamin of the QIP IRC appears in this video. Thank you to Jon Ardern and Anab Jain (as "Superflux") for their work in making this happen with their "5th-Dimensional Camera" demonstration.

Just to clarify things for those who don't bother to click the links -- the 5th dimensional camera is a purely FICTIONAL ART PROJECT, and the letter he's reading out was written by an Art School grad and a self-taught web developer.

Even if they were in contact with quantum information scientists, extra dimensions do not appear in ANY quantum physics.

Their project is fun and creative, but has no basis in any sort of actual science or physics. Using this for "proof" of his ideas is just sad.

@kllrbny As I said, Oxford's Dr. Simon Benjamin is associated with the QIP IRC, google that. The Quantum Information Processing Interdisciplinary Research Project is a collaboration between 12 major universities including Oxford, and Industrial Partners such as HP and Toshiba. Is the camera a speculative presentation based upon what might be possible? Of course, I make no other claims. But the underlying theory presented in his video is directly related to my description of the fifth dimension.

Rob, how can you say you don't count time as a dimension when the 4th supposedly is the timeline from our past to present and future? What is the 4th dimension then, if not time? That's what i remember from yourr original videos explaining the dimensions. Thanks.

[10thdim]

@An1MuS I say time is a direction, not a dimension. In my original animation I say that from our perspective its better to refer to the 4th as duration, this perspective makes it easier for us to acknowledge that for 3D creatures there are two directions in the 4th dimensions, time and anti-time. But if we were 2D creatures we would say that duration was in the 3rd dimension, and so on. This is in a number of my vlogs including What's Around the Corner:

Thanks!

I just want to be sure does the fifth dimension contain directions including one's that we cannot perceive yet does exist? or is it like is it directions or other stuff like probabilities, simply I am asking is higher dimensions, higher versions of spacial directions?

[10thdim]

@deanmullen10 When physicists talk about extra dimensions they are saying that they're all spatial, or some prefer to say "space-like". This project says that all of the extra dimensions are spatial, and that includes the fourth. Search for "Time is a Direction" or "Aren't There Really 11 Dimensions" for more about this concept.

Thanks!

Congrats! Your "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" video came out when i was in HS and it persuaded me to go into Physics. Now I am just a course or two shy of my Bachelor of Science in Physics. It is great to see how far you have come, and maybe one day soon these theories will be proven. Best of luck in the future and im excited to see how much these ideas will grow.

@socratesrock I never claimed I know more than they do. Just show me the evidence, scientific experimental proof that is repeatable and predictable. That is science by definition. Until (10thdim) does that, it will not be accepted by mainstream scientists. If he is right, why doesnt he try to publish this crap? Oh wait, it wont be able to go through peer review journals. Okay, publish it in fantasy land, like in creative writing section .

[jwliang09]

@10thdim Whatever description you have is bullshit until you can experimentally prove that your interpretation makes more sense than other explanations. If you say it JUST an interpretation, and cannot be proved. it is not science. By definition, a theory should be able to predict, and be verified. If not, however beautifully your interpretation/theory is, it is just a fantasy. I think it is just sad to mislead future young, potential physicists.

[sm0ckr]

@sm0ckr hmm ment the "looking around the corner" vid that led me here.

[sm0ckr]

@jwliang09 ...yes of course, YOU know everything. (Ecce Homo!) Except for keeping an open mind it seems.

[sm0ckr]

...hmmm this almost makes me feel as if time is a shadow of the dimension above.

[socratesrock]

@jwliang09 Wow, congratulations, you're telling us you know more than the scientists from Oxford who gave this idea of "fifth dimension as probability space" their support. You must be very smart if you know more than these people from Oxford!

[jwliang09]

@kllrbny I'm a physics student, This series of videos is not right. You guys can be amazed by the model he made up. But don't fall for it as if it is really what the world is like. If you truly want to learn something about these subjects, learn it from physicists, not someone on youtube. If you (10thdim) want to argue with me, why don't you go publish your idea in nature or something? Please don't go around and fool people.

[christiantjr]

The Einstein quote you opened with is intriguing to me. Space and time are only modes by which we think and not actual conditions in which we live. It's clear from your animations and discussions that all dimensions are either spatial or temporal. This leaves me thinking that ALL dimensions are simply something we think about, not what actually exists.

Am I off base here? I feel you sort of alluded to this in your "jumping jesus" video also.

@An1MuS Interesting that Dr. Timothy Leary considered the fourth (of eight) neurobiological circuits to be the social-sexual circuit which is basically memes and genes.
