Elegant Universe - Welcome to the 11th Dimension - Part 4&5

Part 4: Parallel Universes

The extra dimension of space required to unify string theory suggests that we may be trapped on just one tiny slice of a higher-dimensional universe.

Part 5: Escaping Gravity

The weakness of gravity compared to the other forces has confounded physicists for decades, but now string theorists believe that gravity may be leaking into parallel universes.

the irony of this theorie is that in the attempt to explain everything, we only were able to explain the laws of physics in our own universe, because the laws of physics might be entirely different in other universes.

No no no, there are 89237432984789234782398432984 dimensions, now buy my book.

um ok I have no fucking clue what these whack jobs are talking about I think I'll continue to live my life normally, or at least what I think is normal.

*looks at bread being sliced* "mmmmmmm, universe jelly, arrggghhhh ghhhhh" *drools*

we could create different universes in computers with different laws of physics. Sentient programs/beings that might arise/evolve in this simulation will never know they are inside one coz they could only investigate their world through the physics we gave them. Or we could be living inside one

i wish my bread had different universes on it :(

The whole fad of speculative theories of dimensions higher than 3d is an intellectual fraud. Don't allow yourself to believe this based on the overwhelming authority that says it is so. Use logic and think for yourself. Dimensions are an axis of space with reference to the others, not something that is a direction here, but a time period there.

@SaintBroken Actually other Universes are what is usually considered the 5th, 6th and 7th dimensions. The 5th dimension encompasses all universes that were created by different quantum choices to form different quantum realities, and, thus, different universes. The 6th dimension is the dimension in which travel between instances of the 5th dimension is possible. The 7th dimension consists of all universes created by a different chain of events at the big bang. So, theyre really all one universe.

- i belive it would be worth seeing how this would fit in this theory

[RainOerMe]

One way to see the other dimensions is to take psychedelics.... seriously try lsd for instance it breaks away (im guessing three dimensional) filters of your brain allowing you to see other dimensions, one dimension in particular would be what we call enlightenment. this dimension consists of pure light and a feeling of Ecstasy. and others complex seires of geometric pattern as expianced on dmt the a chemical found in almost all life. and witch is realesed in are brains in sleep and b4 Death

There are no laws, only thoughts. So high.

There is an infinite amount of parallel universes. So EVERYTHING you can imagine exists somewhere in a universe.
