shmali 0 #1 December 19, 2006 Having a difficult time getting past the 5th maybe 6th dimensional conception. Check out this interesting video that tries to put it into a very 'simple' context. http://www.tenthdimension.com/medialinks.php Warning - NSFSM (Not Safe for Simple Minds ) Pineappe Death Juice, If you have to ask you'd rather not know!

Lindercles 0 #4 December 19, 2006 Try collapsing the indeterminate wave of your probable futures. From there, draw a line between our infinity and that of another. Then fold that line. See? It kinda looks like two people doin' it, doesn't it? God has a sense of humor after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The leap from 8 to 10 troubles me. I think they skipped 9. Yes, I know they mentioned 9, but didn't flesh it out the way they fleshed out 1-8 and 10. I can't put my finger on it but I feel that they cheated. But I'm going to have to keep thinking about that. It's extremely abstract.

Every one of them relies on the assumption that higher dimensions have the same basic physical properties as the third. Of course, you can't really blame the scientists for modeling their theories this way. It's sort of like art; you create what you know. How are we supposed to interpret ideas that are beyond our brains' limited comprehension?
