I understand multiple dimensions. An extension of Pythagoras theorem is the formula for distance, however for spacetime, I am still trying to comprehend because essentially time is an imaginary dimension as in square root of negative one; another way of saying that is that instead of adding the square of the time interval like all three spatial intervals, you subtract the square of the time interval. That's for special relativity, but for general relativity, the equation for distance is more complex because it involves calculus and the squares are replaced with something like dxdx and then there is also dxdy etc, all combinations, it's interesting.

Polyhedra are interesting. In three dimensions, there are 5 convex regular polyhedra: tetrahedron, octohedron, icosahedron, cube, dodecahedron. If you put a point in the middle of each plane on a cube, eliminate the original cube points, and connect the remaining points, then you get the octohedron. The tetrahedron, also called a 4-simplex, along with the cube and the octohedron have analogues in every dimension. A four dimensional cube analog is called a tesseract. There is also the 5-simplex, using the minimal number of points required to make a 4 dimensional figure. In four dimensions there are 6 convex polyhedra. But, after that, remarkably, those three I mentioned are the only ones which are covex polyhedra in multiple dimensions. Today, I learned there are not just convex polyhedra, but "star polyhedra" and hyperbolic compact convex, hyperbolic compact star, hyperbolic paracompact convex, and compound polyhedra. There are ten 4 dimensional non-hyberbolic star polyedra and four 3 dimensional non-hyberbolic star polyhedra. I should add that I am pretty sure that the way to get hyperbolic geometry is to have a dimension or more which are imaginary dimensions (square root of -1), because that's how you get flat space-time which is hyperbolic.
@floydnelson92 Жыл бұрын
If you imagine a wireframe cube in 3 dimensions and then imagine a smaller wireframe cube within it, then connect every corresponding corner with a line... then you get a 3-d image of what is called a tesseract, a 4d analog of a cube. All the lines on a regular tesseract are the same length even if in the model image they are not the same length; the reason they aren't the same length in the 3-d image is because this is a perspective image and the smaller lines, if it's a real 4-d object, are moving into the forth dimension. The same phenomenon happens when drawing a two dimensional image of a cube; a smaller square within a larger square, with each corner connected. All those corner connections are parallel even though they are not parallel in the image. And this is just one image; the whole thing can be rotated giving us different perspectives of the same object. These images can be mathematically calculated.

In computer science and programming, you can access data a single number located in 0 dimensional space, or you can access a number from a list of numbers arranged in 1 dimensional space. Or you can access a number from an arrray of numbers which are located in 2 dimensional space. 2 dimensional space, an array, is just an list of lists. 3 dimensional space is a list of arrays. 4 dimensional space is a list of 3 dimensional spaces. 5 dimensional space is a list of 4 dimensional spaces. For n-dimensions, it requires n numbers to describe a location in that space. And Pythagoras theorum for distance, extended for multiple dimensions, can be deduced after knowing this, while assuming that a distance traveled one unit parallel to any axis is the same. It also assumes 90 degrees between any two axes. and that from an origin, a point x units away on one axis to a point x units away on another axis is proportional to x for all x except 0, in other words space is flat and does not expand unnaturally as you move out from the origin.

Dimensions are like arrays which contain their own defining property or purpose. Think of multidimensional arrays going through loops etc Furthermore, there are more dimensions that define more exotic positions.

Seems to be a lot of confusion over what "dimension" means. Whatever definition you're using for dimensions, it seems to be incredibly inconsistent. Dimension just means amount of numbers to describe where you are. If you're 2D, you need 2 numbers to describe where you are (like on a graph or plane). We exist in 3D SPACE because we need 3 numbers to describe our location: length, width, height. The reason why we say SPACE-TIME is 4D is because we need 4 numbers to describe where we are and when we are. So length, width, height, and time are 4 numbers to describe where and when things are. There, very simple. So this is a more accurate list of dimensions: -0th Dimension: a dot (don't need a number for location cuz everything's already here) -1st Dimension: a line (very simple but not too many shapes you can make within a line) -2nd Dimension: a plane (classic euclidean geometry and how our eyes actually see, like a pair of screens) -3rd Dimension: a space (lots of room to move around in and what we are all used to existing in) -4th Dimension: a hyperspace (not possible to visualize no matter how smart you think you are, but if you could then 3 dimensions would begin to feel quite cramped) -5th Dimension: still hyperspace (just infinitely more spacious than the last) -and so on... Nothing magical about adding dimensions. Adding another axis just adds more shapes and more complex geometry, but in the end it's just us playing with numbers.

There is a 5th dimension. The reason why is because you can’t freeze time, as you would also freeze gravity interaction with it that would therefore unfreeze time. Your perspective will continue seeing light incoming at the same velocity, and instead extending into the future. Universe has a limit of observing a clock freeze, while the clock doesn’t. This creates a quantum superposition, that is also quantum entangled because the real progressing universe that we still exist in lags behind from it’s limited perspective, and when time dilation ends we are sucked back into that universe through a traversable by perspective of time wormhole into that limited by 0 resting time dilation universe. With it future information, and with it also causality becomes an illusion of time, and the future becomes changeable.

Limitless space devoid of any matter or time restraints. If i we're describing a higher dimension beyond space/time the word spirit comes to mind. In that experience I was an observer of the mind I believe. Meaning when I was there I had no body no form. No self. But was still observing which is just so fascinating to me. What was I as the nothingness observer observing what I can only describe as all potential unpotentialed. Light in progress to form. Something like that haha.

I doubt reality at its heart is some mathematical construct just waiting to be neatly summarized. Mathematics in of itself can't exist without some sense of time and causality to order logic and needs a notion of space to contain the information which embodies abstract truth. Nothing in mathematics other than the implied axiomatic illusion to these things exist per se. And therein lies the issue. It all kind of implies Math and physics are symbiotically emergent from something deeper and much more subtle. This reasoning is not an excuse to cunningly invoke mysticism, but my intuition is, at some level there is some something transcendentally odd about it all that the hyper myopic human consciousness could nary grasp, even though some deludedly infer the awesomeness of human intellectual achievement when all we've done till now, is just the byproduct of an oversized, million years removed, monkey brain..

I really like the points you bring up, but I think there's room for things like Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis and such, and we shouldn't just chuck out platonic-type solutions just cuz our subjective phenomenology is very bounded

There was NO WAY IN HELL they were going to convince me that I didnt experience what I did. It was a TRUE TO LIFE PRECOGNITION. Only happened once back in 94. I can say this tho. From others I spoke to that said they had the same thing happen to them? It seeeeeeems like it happens when you DO something. One guy said it seemed like when he sat down, the act of sitting down on THAT particular chair is what did it. For me?? It seemed like my putting my arm through my shirt sleeve is what triggered it for me. Wasnt like using the force or something. It was something that just happens to you out of nowhere. And you feel it in your whole body. Not like Deja Vu. This was like I KNEW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!! Which made me really think about one thing!!! "IS THE FUTURE REALLY ALREADY SET!!!" That every choice we are going to make? We already made but just dont know it yet. Weird I know. But is the future already set? Cause if its not? Then there is no way I can KNOW whats going to happen next without a cause/effect. So imagine rollin a dice and you KNOW its going to be a 5. Not think. BUT KNOW!! There will be NO OTHER outcome!! Its going to be a five! How can that be..... unless..... unless...... it was already GOING to be a 5? No chances. Its going to be a FIVE!! PERIOD!! The law of causality is flawed. TRUST ME!!

What about quantum entanglement? One particle being in 2 distant places at once, or if you like, instantaneous FTL matching changes to two distant parts of the same particle. Isn't that the very definition of another dimension? The explanations I've heard always start with "No, that's simply...", and then they go on to describe a condition that exactly matches another dimension.

It’s a violation of locality, but not to do with another dimension. How do we know? Bell’s Theorem. The question of “hidden variables” within the EPR paradox has been disproven repeatedly in many different ways. Why entanglement occurs hasn’t been answered. It’s believed to have something to do with actually defining the spacetime manifold, but there are no certain proofs for this yet. What we do know is that entanglement occurs in different ways whenever particles get close enough to each other. And their wave functions there on act collectively as “one” particle in regards to the phenomena of their entanglement (spin, momentum, position, polarization, etc.). They remain entangled as long as quantum coherence is maintained. Naturally though, quantum systems tend to decohere over time. One example of quantum decoherence is the act of taking a measurement on a component of the quantum system. The wave function collapse is quantum decoherence in action. Quantum entanglement is a necessary tool for quantum computers. It is hypothesized that the spacetime manifold is a consequence of natural quantum error correction, similar to what we attempt to utilize with quantum computers.

@@bjornragnarsson8692 I know ALL of that. None of it even hints that another dimension is not involved in entanglement. In fact just the opposite. Bell proving non-locality only reaffirms no one has any idea why this entangled connection at a distance works at faster-than-light. So: 1) The very word "non-locality" is literally another way to say another dimension is involved. Imagine a 2-D person seeing the results of 3-D travel... it would look like someone jumping around (or FTL travel) on their plane, they would call it "non-locality". Imagine a 3-D person without the 4th dimension of time experiencing someone pop out of the world and move to another place during the hidden dimension of time... they would also call it "non-locality". You admitted yourself no one knows why entanglement occurs, so how can you possibly rule out the most obvious answer??

@@Grrrnthumb you seem to need this conclusion in your life for personal reasons rather than remaining open to less exciting possibilities on a topic that is unlikely to be resolved in our lifetime. But I also get the strong impression that you feel you understand this all better than anyone else before or currently. The ironic thing about that is, we have no way to conclusively test for, and demonstrate other dimensions. Also, your examples don’t really work. On the one hand, you would have to pop straight up out of a 2D plane, move forward in one of the two spatial dimensions without the observer seeing your projection change positions in the 2D they can observe, and then drop straight back down. That would be a difficult task to fulfill, because even if you moved directly forward at a higher or lower two dimensional plane, the observer would still see your movement forward, just not upward and downward. The only way that could be is if that extra spatial dimension was somehow made up of discrete planes rather than continuous planes orthogonal to the other two dimensions. If you imagine a blackhole as a hyper dimensional phenomenon in a two dimensional world, that curves downward in the third dimension until its curvature entirely exists in the third dimension, then a distant observer would see you slowing down in the two dimensional plane and eventually laying still, because your 2D projection remains stationary while your 3D projection would be free falling faster than light in the hyper dimension. Your second example is more problematic because a 3D spatial observer without time wouldn’t even be able to recognize that you changed positions in the first place, as that would constitute the existence of time from their non-temporal perspective, which doesn’t make sense unless both observers were in three spatial and one time dimension to begin with. Also, I’m surprised that quantum entanglement was the phenomena to convince you of additional dimensions and not just basic quantum mechanics itself. How do you interpret the double slit experiment? The measurement problem? The uncertainty principle? Individual particles spread out in space all the time until their position is measured or the system decoheres from it’s environment. Isn’t that just as concerning to you as quantum entanglement? What about other uncertainty relationships like in signal analysis, which have the same fundamental relationship as subatomic particles do in spacetime, yet can exist as purely mathematical phenomena?

@@bjornragnarsson8692 I am VERY open to other possibilities, but I am tired of being told this one is impossible without evidence or even a cogent reason. For instance, read all your posts above. There is nothing there at all in evidence or even a logical reason why you think entanglement can't be related to another dimension. Your only attempt was to say 'because Bell', which I explained why Bell shows *just the opposite* and if anything lends support by proving non-locality. Non-locality is very, very, very similar to just being another dimension. So in my original post I said someone would tell me "No, that's simply...", and then bizarrely go on to describe a condition that *does* describe another dimension. You did exactly that! So thanks for making my prediction come true when you said "It’s believed to have something to do with actually defining the spacetime manifold". It's like you're not even listening to yourself. You really can't see that what you said is another way to say extra dimension? Yes I am very interested in those other aspects of QM, but for this discussion about dimensions, none of them so simply and clearly point to the possibility of another dimension. I am in good company, I think. Einstein chose this point (entanglement) especially as the biggest sticking point for him with QM, and called it "spooky action at a distance". He was wrong about the solution (hidden variables), but he was right that it's a huge problem that leaves QM incomplete. If he were alive today to see Bell disprove hidden variables, which direction would he go then, since he was so adamant that these vastly distant entanglements seem to catastrophically violate the speed of light? Which direction is there left? Isn't it only adding a dimension, or so radically changing our existing dimensions that it's just word games to say you're not adding a dimension?

@@Grrrnthumb I understand your frustration, but try not to get emotional about it. Emotions only interfere with objective reasoning. While I don’t exclude the possibility of extra dimensions, it is hard to formulate a coherent theory that matches experimental evidence. None have succeeded thus far. That withstanding, how would you describe a model of the universe with extra dimensions that can be reduced to our 4D spacetime within acceptable limits, yet describe that which we cannot measure? One discovery that may or may not be promising is the AdS/CFT correspondence. This implies the “Holographic Principle” in which the gravitational bulk of the universe is a projection of a lower dimensional quantum field theory. Interactions between particles on the surface of the bulk topology correspond to the weaker gravitational effect we observe. That isn’t quite the same as implying extra dimensions though. In fact, entanglement that we measure in our universe is the result of a lower dimensional interaction of quantum fields. The most critical aspect for a modern theory is to describe gravity at the quantum level. I am uncertain what route to follow. The AdS/CFT correspondence works for Anti-de Sitter space, but our universe doesn’t correspond to an an AdS universe as measured from the global geometry and estimating the global topology, ie it appears to be flat or at most, closed - as in a sphere. The Standard Model is a recipe for a universe like ours, neglecting the phenomena of neutrino oscillation and gravity. Solutions based on the AdS/CFT correspondence are that quantum error correcting codes define the spacetime manifold, and its relationship between entangled states define the effects of gravity. Whether this will be correct or not, I do not know. We still need to be able to experimentally verify this relationship. I will leave you with the fact that if we didn’t exist in a 4 dimensional [spatial (+ time)] world, the inverse square law of electrodynamics and gravity would not hold. That is to say, if we were 2 + 1 dimensional beings in our universe, we would be able to detect the energy of a sound or particle interaction escaping to the 3 + 1 dimension. Much research has been done on this and particle accelerators have tested it constantly, yet energy is always conserved and no falsities have been uncovered.

I love these talks. I kind of see things very differently then what’s discussed. I feel as though mathematics might be holding us back rather then helping us forward. Most all of math has been a creation of man to explain something, anything. We had to create our version of a measuring stick in order to measure things. And most of it is based on not the best way, but rather on a traditional way. Numbers are very different then objects. The number 5 can mean so many things, -5, or whatever. Or it can simply mean 5 apples. So this creation stems from a much different place then what stems from geometry. Geometry is sacred for it doesn’t change. You can call a right angle a right angle, or say it’s 90 degrees, you can call it 1000 degrees, its still a right angle, the numbers are mumbojumbo that we created and are still tweaking. Now he was talking about spacial dimensions and that there are 4. This is perspective. You take a pair of dice. You can say they are 3 dimensional cubes. Or you can say they are six sided. Now imagine walking in a square white room with the numbers on the dice painted on all 6 sides of the room. You can move in 6 directions. Place a ladder and go up, or come down. Forwards and backwards, side to side. Then you can say it’s the sixth dimension we are in and time 7. Religious people think he’ll is down for some reason, a down that they can’t reach unless maybe when dead. Heaven up somewhere, somewhere they cannot reach. You can think of dimensions in that light, that you believe it exists but aren’t capable of reaching. These are very simple ideas that are very deep in depth. Like the measuring stick. You have to be very precise in the explanation of the basics so not to mess anything up. Are we talking metric or standard, 3 dimensions or six dimensions. Are we talking squares, circles and triangles, or are we talking about zero, 11, 13, or minus 21 squares or cubed. Our fundamentals just might not be so fundamental is what I’m saying.

Numbers are the reason we know anything and have advanced in any way. It's not bs just because you can relate the number five with negative five or see them as the similar when they are not in any way. Your "point" is basically pointing towards the irrelevance of numbers, math, calculations along with the ability to test and theorize, even though they prove to be our fundamentals time and time again. The existence or the "idea" of numbers and what you call simple is really just part of the formula known as reality. Without the practice of mathematics we would understand nothing.

You need to delve deeper into mathematics. Geometry is not at all sacred. The moment you step outside the Euclidean assumptions you get into the wonderful world of parallel lines intersecting, sum of interior angles of a triangle not being equal to 180 etc. It also turns out you get better models of natural phenomena like gravity (general relativity). With regards to 6 dimensions inside your hypothetical cube, you are double counting linearly dependent vectors. More simply, we define a dimension to be all possible ways you could travel along your ladder in either direction for as long as you please. You can come up with your own definitions of the word "dimension" or the number "5", but the abstract objects you are describing exist outside of human words and symbols, and they follow rules. For example, cicadas probably don't know what a "prime number" is, or that the least common multiple of two primes is their product, and yet they emerge in prime intervals for that very reason. How you describe mathematical truths is irrelevant. They are still inescapable laws of the universe.

I don’t think anyone here is watching these videos to learn mathematic, I think we’re all here to hear perspectives rather then beliefs or facts. I’m aware that mathematics can explain allot, including how parallel lines can meat across space and time, that triangles can have a sum greater or less or than 180. As far as, do I believe the current state or form of mathematics we are currently using to be like the alphabet of the universe. No I don’t. I don’t think our math has progressed to birth that language yet. But the farther we venture into space. As our math grows, in some ways, if our perspectives change. We might eventually get such a language. We use math in all the other sciences as well, and all of them are evolving as we speak. That’s why I mentioned the six axis perspective. Pilots have adopted it over the common mans 3D perspective a long time ago. Though the same thing, we had put more information into it for better communication. So it’s not that I disagree with math being the law of the universe. I’m saying the perspective might matter more then we know. Hypothetical question. An alien ship lands on your lawn and contacts you. How would you use math to communicate?

Captain here: This is not an expert explaining a fact. Woit is expressing a personal view, this is what he wants to be true so take this with a gram of salt. If Lex had a string theory expert/researcher he would argue the complete opposite point of view. Just so we don't use the authority fallacy here. Just having quantum entanglement shows there more than 4 dimensions. The whole quantum field/structure/framework, whatever it is, it interacts with us via something outside our known 4 dimensions. Now, that means there is something outside our 4 dimensions, that is not made up of our own 4 dimensions. We can only define it by a bigger, our mother universe, or host universe, that has n number of other dimensions where n is bigger or equal to 1. We DO know there are extra dimensions, we just can't interact with them in a meaningful way, even if string theory experts would argue, we do. In conclusion, if you are confused about dimensions, because every expert has a different opinion on them('tis quite fashionable in hard science academia and or high intellectuality, so we can't really blame them) here is what science knows: 1. There must be other PHYSICAL dimensions 2. We don't know how many and how they work, organize, interact, they are a singularity 3. We already have, create, interact with, MATHEMATICAL/VIRTUAL dimensions, on a daily basis(everyone knows a square rot of a negative number is an imaginary number, or the mathematical dimensions generated by the virtual world and the internet of things, stock trading etc)
