The Fifth and Sixth Dimensions

[seph]

Well the difference is that the physical world is very physically accessable; whereas the planes of time can only be experienced through experience and memory. If you consider that alternate universes and realities exist in a verticle dimension of time, then you can experience time in a whole new way: imagination. How else would you connect to a reality in which you chose to make pizza instead of hamburgers? The thing is, when you decide which choice to make, you are actually *creating* another point on the verticle plane of time.

So imagine an infinitely long number line representing time in minutes. Then imagine making that into a two-dimensional grid in which the verticle line represents possible choices any living thing could have had (because without life, everything in the universe would have happened the exact same way in every single alternate universe; it's life that changed things). So when you make one choice, the alternate yous made the choices you didn't make, and do they exist in every alternate universe possible.

I have a new theory for A (depth plane of time): It represents every consciousness being in another body. So on one point, I am a snail in a far away land. In another point on that line, I am my wife. So for every point on that plane, you experience life through a different being.

Memory and experience is not moving along time. Memory is the storage of an event in your brain, sort of like a picture and a camera. Looking at that picture is not being at that place. Remembering something is not having it happen again. And experience is simply the stringing together of multiple items in short and long term memory, so the same idea applies.

[Agamemnus]

One particle on a plane need not and cannot exist in two different places. In a time line, a particle can exist in several different physical locations, but not at one point on that time. For example, at T, it is located at (X, Y, Z) but at T+5 it is located at (X, Y, Z + 20) because the particle moved 20 units of distance in 5 units of time. So the particle can exist in two different places physically as long as the time has changed.

I said dimension, not plane.. also, you are misusing "place". I refer to place as one position along the said dimension. Also, you are diving straight into the assumption that time is not a dimension, contradicting yourself. And, a particle changing one dimension out of two or more possible is not directly related to the particle being in two places along one of those dimensions. And, what I said was that time is not a dimension unless you can go backwards in time and have the same particle in the ... hmm...

Memory and experience is not moving along time. Memory is the storage of an event in your brain, sort of like a picture and a camera. Looking at that picture is not being at that place. Remembering something is not having it happen again.

Contradictory to your next sentence:

"And experience is simply the stringing together of multiple items in short and long term memory, so the same idea applies."

You never actually experience time: You exist inside a moving line of time. You remember what happened a few seconds ago and can predict what might happen in the next few seconds, but that is not being able to interact with time in the same way one can interact with the physical world.

SO we can't apply the same rules to time as to space. So essentially you can very well travel time forwardly by remembering what's happened and predicting what will happen. And at the same time, you can travel backwards by remembering what happened. You might say that time is not a dimension because unlike physical dimensions, you can't change anything in the past. (On a physical dimension, you can certainly change objects' location by simply moving them). The difference is that you can't affect anything in time (forwards or backwards) on a space that you are not on; you can ONLY affect the location of matter within your 3-dimensional existance at ONE point in time. Not in the past and certainly not in the future (without waiting of course, at which point the future becomes the present).

Damn I think I'm on to something!

There are three dimensions. Period. Time is not a dimension. Time has no physical medium, nor method of travel. It is a concept, one which exists only in our human brains. I'm sure someone will argue the speed-of-light theory, but no one's been able to back it up...they can only mention it in passing because no one understands it and scientists have been unable to make any conclusive theories about it.

[red_Marvin]

What do you mean with "time has no physical medium"?
Is it that you can move an physical object in 3d space?

[Deleter]

Damn I think I'm on to something!

well i just think you are ON something...those two sentances don't contradict, they support each other.... :roll:

[axipher]

Maybe we do not experience time, maybe time experiences us... Personnaly I think that time could very well be the fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions, I have pondered that idea before reading this thread. I say instead of disagreeing, just agree with it.

Time is an illusion created by our own minds.


The forth dimension viewed by our 3D eyes:

It's called a Hyper Cube.

[TheBlueKeyboard]

Time is not an illusion, if it was, evolution would've taken advantage of this "illusion" a long time ago
Us humans and animals living on earth cant do $hit about time really, so for us its not an illusion.
You know, EVERYTHING is an illusion if you think about it like that. When you think of it, the world around us is just a bunch of particles flying around...yet our brains make this into living a life! There's no "life", its an illusion, you are a bunch of emotionless particles, and everything around you is a bunch of emotionless particles.
So what Im trying to say is, everything is an illusion!
