I remember in high school asking my physics teacher was exactly caused gravity and she looked at me like I was an idiot. Her explanation was that gravity just existed. It's probably silly, but that moment of having my curiosity shamed in front of the whole class steered me from science fields. As a kid I was so in love with space but after high school I ended up feeling like an idiot and went into the fields I was praised for in school. Now I'm in my mid 20s, lots of college debt, in a industry I hate, but have rediscovered my love for science. I'm hoping to go back to school soon to study engineering. Not sure why I typed all this, but I really enjoy these videos.

[@sh-ku5xr]

that sucks, I also got turned away from science by preening assholes who pretend their slight understanding of the world entitles them to a sense of elitism as well, that and the implication that while I'm smart, I'm not really smart enough to be able to do anything so I might as well not waste my time.

She probably didn't know so she saved face by making it seem you were stupid, when she was the stupid one. Gravity isn't easy to understand and she probably had no easy definition to give you. It's sad that a single event like that could ruin someone's interest in science.

[@mattsteelman3832]

I have serious resentment towards teachers and schools. Honestly so much so that it's pretty unhealthy, so seeing things like this really gets to me. My entire personality and who I am was changed because of how I was treated in school and these past few years I've been struggling to find out who I really am. I can't stand teachers who do stuff like that, they don't realize how much they're effecting their students.

[@erickdraven4810]

I spent the majority of my life as a fabricator by profession. As such, one has to learn not just the materials go into a project but the correct measurement of them. Applying that knowledge to string theory tells me that there more 'materials' involved that we are aware of much less how the fit and work together. Just my two cents.

[@jaycole6824]

Some could be interdimensional... if a 3d person touched a 2d livingscape with the tip of their finger, then the 2d person would perceive the tip of the finger as an expanding and contracting colored/textured circle upon contact of the 3rd dimensional person. Yet the 2d observer does not see that there's a 3d person behind the tip of their finger making contact. But the 3d person can see the entirety of the 2d persons present existence before them from the outside. Same can be said with making contact with an interdimensional entity who had expressed contact with you. The shifting and complexity observed from some of these "living crafts" or "orbs" could have been akin to what a tesseract is to a cube. A tessaract is a hyperdimensional cube, that's essentially a cube within a cube that's in continuous motion. An interaction across dimensions creates bizarre phenomena since the conversion from one to another dimensions is limited to the perspective of the observer from the "lower perceiving" dimension. Queue subjective consciousness overlaying the objective reality of the infinite as our personal experience... So behind that evershifting display observed, perhaps was just the tip of what the "higher perceiving" entity actually was. Also in other dimensions the laws of physics and rules of chemistry may be exotic to our known systems of knowledge contained to our reality. So interdimensional beings to us may appear partially visible, as well as chemically composed of entirely exotic elements to our reality which may behave differently from within our reality than it does theirs, perhaps allowing for law breaking physics and gravitational, temporal, you name it phenomena to be displayed. Even then, what we observe may then be something entirely different due to the conversion of chemistry, physics, physicality within the observed interaction between our dimension and theirs. Maybe an element cannot exist within our dimension and so now our dimension has to convert this forbidden element into something with which to make sense of it within the confines of our dimension's set of physics which can lead to bizarre results. It boils down to finding common objective communication translated between realities, from each communicating party's subjective reality to establish a common mode of contact, to expand consciousness. Yet even then communication may still be totally intangible as consciousness from every dimension may be unsolvably exotic to one another due to an intelligence/comprehension gap. If I'm right then each dimension is actually a conglomerate of "servers" upon servers, compartmentalized as our own individual dimensions, which is likely derived from some sort of quantum computer experiencing consciousness of itself, through within itself, amongst itselves, to discern itself among all selves, after a point of singularity. There are levels to it. I realize I sound like a nut. I'm just trying to regurgitate my mind into words which is limiting. Food for thought... 💡

[@jaytatum725]

I think the last portion of it was a bit confusing for me. I understood the compartmentalization of individual dimensions in order to fit into a form of comprehension that is comprehensible and can exist amongst each other? Aside from that confusion I think this theory is an interesting perspective. The form of our reality is from a lens of survival rather than true objective reality which naturally creates bias and opens up realms of infinite possibility. At the end of the day if humans are incapable of being able to perceive things beyond the scope of our inherent physiological capabilities and predispositions, unless we undergo a severe change, these will remain impossible truths to ascertain. I think beyond just objective communication between realities it's essential to explore expanding consciousness which may be able to remove or temporarily disable the confinement of our physical limitations. The other way would be through things like psychedelics which changes our stagnant natural configurations and provide insight into how our realities change as our biological settings are tweaked. My hypothesis is as long as consciousness is attached to the physical body it will always be limited because its purpose is to serve as a vessel to interact within our universe. The next question would be, would our consciousness be able to communicate when in solely its own form or is communication, as we identify, limited to our physical vessel?

[@mollyjane7538]

I'm too high for this, but am going to save this to read later!

[@jaycole6824]

@@jaytatum725 I appreciate your perspective and your ideas had sparked intriguing thoughts. I think communication is an evolutionary mechanism which is rooted to the physical body. Perhaps this is why psychedelics create strange sensations as well as sometimes depersonalization or o.b.e's. Seems we are bound to the physical form which includes the processing of information within our brain from stimuli. If we have no physicality then we cannot process the experience, so we won't remember. Perhaps we can augment our brain in the future which can provide extra sensory capabilities within the scope of our knowledge, yet even then we are confined to a physical body of bio or nonbiological material. If our minds can enter a virtual world we are still confined to the laws of that world as well as the limitations of the containment device/s. I believe no matter what our subjective experience is defined as an overlay onto objective reality, therefore a physical body is necessary to have validation of experience. The body is a vessel for the intangible to inhabit and experience the tangible.

[@Cosmalano]

Link Age I actually have revised my view lol. I think this theory is probably a lot closer to what the original gauge theory of Weyl was in history, in that it’s not quite right but will be very important for the right theory when it is found, perhaps even just in mathematical detail. Either way, I think it’s worthy of study. It’s a crazy sort of math we got from the extrapolation of nature’s properties and it emerges quite elegantly in M-theory, especially with the duality to 11-D supergravity. That’s not to say it’s right, but the fact that super gravity and string theory meet definitely tells us something. I’m gonna spend some time studying the other string theories.

[@halonothing1]

I've always tried to imagine what the implications of a universe with 2 temporal dimensions would be. Although that doesn't seem any more possible than visualizing an actual 4-cube and not just a projection of one. Or even just 4 spatial axes all perpendicular to one another.

So basically mathematicians create higher dimensions (or imaginary worlds/dimensions) just to solve their physics/mathematical problems. So it’s make-belief. That’s no different than saying “The ball fell to the ground because a bobo ghost from outside our dimension/world pulled it down.” I’m using metaphysical explanations to solve physical phenomenas. The same may those mathematicians use unobservable/undetectable/unscientific/unproven explanations/dimensions to solve physical problems. (Mathematical ones). You can’t even say that they are theories, because theories require supporting detectable evidence the support the theory directly, either by observation or experimentations (Not just sound math) which all these hypotheses do not provide. Which means that all these mathematicians are just hypothesizing on paper with numbers and matrixes. And we all know that here’s another word for the act of “Hypothesizing”. it’s called Day-dreaming.

Baghdad in the Middle East was an intellectual city during the so-called Dark Ages and kept a lot of the scientific knowledge we'd had intact and expanded on it. The Ottomans brought much of it back to Europe at the end of the Middle Ages, sparking the Renaissance.

While going through a period of trying to understand time, I concluded that it was not a dimension parallel to the other 3, but rather a curved dimension or dimensions that were tangential to the 3 physical dimensions we occupy and which explained why we experienced time as the singular moments of intersection of the curved time dimensions with our physical dimensions. Further thought led me to realize that we are all going through time at slightly different speeds due to gravity and the special theory of relativity, and that it was hence more useful to think of the time dimension(s) as very small, as he speaks of them in this video--curled up and associated with different points in space, responding to the field of gravity they are in. I was excited to read that some physicists hold this theory, and look forward to reading more about them. Thank you, Zach!

[@ellusiv5121]

The extra dimensions being on the small side rather than the typical science fiction depiction of "another dimension" actually makes sense when you consider that the size of an average human is a lot closer to the size of the entire observable universe than we are to the smallest known quarks. There's just that much going down there.

@Akun No anthropomorphic figure, but I find it fascinating that we live in a universe which operates in accordance with meaningful and mathematically elegant principles. Not like, for example, some dream world which can change from one moment to the next. Our universe, and our existence is grounded in meaning (even if it sometimes feels obscure to us). I think of it as commensurate with consciousness.

[@dr.syedmuhammadmanazer-ul-414]

Actually I'm pretty sure that's not how the expansion of the universe works It's the expansion of of space time which is the field which everything lies on So if an object is on that field it would move away in our perspective because of the field expanding but in it's perspective everything else will move and it stays still And gravity and electromagnetism are just like leashes and dark matter is like a fence so the things attached together in a field Don't move and the fence keeps them in a area and the sizes of the leashes and fences are constant But again it is a idea in string theory and I don't understand it fully yet so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting. Based on the animations, I had assumed inverting in the 4th dimension would turn you inside out, not mirror you. Layman here, enjoying your content :P

[@elenap.9897]

Inverting towards time dimension. If only.

[@georgeferrand6857]

it would invert you however you are changed, since there are more dimensions it can basically invert you in so many ways, i assume with higher dimensions even more ways, maybe every particles would be turned inside out, or we would be pulled out of our body cause material doesnt exist in higher dimensions. But that's just my mind rambling.

[@vaquishers]

Ya know now that I think about it, when he inverted, it's only possible to invert vertically. If it was a 2D you can invert horizontally and vertically. And in ours, since we have length, width, and height, we can be inverted in 3 ways. Vertical invert (length) would flip our body parts, horizontal invert (height) would flip uh...idk man, we interact with stuff upside down? And them width invert is inside out. Idk man that vertical invert is weird but theoretically inverting everything should make us similar to how we are now except...think of it as if we had a word where up is down and left is right. Everything is the same but things work opposite

[@S3Mi87]

@@vaquishers I wonder what effects would such a mirroring/inverting make on our brain and perception. Effectively your left eye becomes right eye, would it mean you also see the world around you flipped? Your friend: Dude you left hand is on the right side! You: Same as yours!

I was thinking lately about "chance" as a dimension. For instance if you compare the movement in the chance of you being hit by a car to for instance walking towards a building. When you are very far from a building its very small to the point you dont see it, but then as you walk in space towards it, it gets bigger until you eventually touch it. If you then look at the chance of being hit by a car for instance when you are inside your house, the chance is so small that you dont actually "see" it happening. But then if you start moving outside your house and onto the street the "chance" gets bigger and bigger until you eventually "touch" the " chance" and you get hit by the car. So in effect you are moving in a chance dimension towards something happening. Then if you translate this to for instance "chance fields" all locations in space also have a certain set of chances in that chance field that change depending on how you move through them. When thinking about it like this we are also able to manipulate chances directly by certain actions we take just like movement through other dimensions like space. This is a train of thought I had when I was thinking how atoms and molecules interact the further you get out into space. In the vacuum of space the chance of these particles interacting also changes. Anyway, I think a lot about stuff like this as my job is in chemistry

[@BJBee]

Interesting. By chance you meant probability of course.

@@BJBee oh yes probability might be a better word for it. Dont know if it holds as a dimension, but its interesting to think about how probabilities change depending on location nonetheless
