Fourth Dimension

[Scribb1e]

Anyone believe in a Fourth Dimension? Some think it's time, some think it's space. I personally think it's space. I think it's really cool reading about it. They have something that's called a tesseract,

which is a shadow of a 4d cube since the human mind will never be able to think about what a 4 dimensional object will look like.

Watch that video. Hopefully it can explain some more stuff.

According to this video, the 4th dimension is time (duration).

It all depends on what you think it is. If you think it's time, go ahead. If you think it's space, go ahead

Never thought about a 4th Dimension before, its Time according to Videos.

I believe its complete rubbish, jibberish and all other words under the sun.
This is a concept of beliefs just like God? Its your opinion to believe it, and sir i do not.

Gah! My Brain hurts, but the vids interesting

The Fourth Dimension is obviously mac and cheese.


On a serious note I think that it does exist, is it time or space? Who knows.

the fourth dimension is space-time, not either or, but both, one cannot exist without the other.

thank you, I was going to say something extremely similar to that but coulden't find the words to say it

Honestly, there could be any number of dimensions which we don't know about. The first three all exist, but in no specific order... so why is this argument about what the fourth dimension is, and not about how many more are possible?

Time is obviously a dimension. The fact that it only moves in one direction for us doesn't change the fact that it exists. In fact, there are lots of programs which allow the creation of graphs with three inputs and one output (or any four values) by using x, y, z, and t as the dimensions.

Now as for other spacial dimensions, there is no way for us to know or understand them. That's not to say they don't exist, but we would need some huge leap in technology for any other spacial dimensions to be uncovered or understood.

I heard that us human's wouldn't experience anymore dimension higher than the 3rd.

Because we are only three dimensional at max. Interesting though

Time, what is it?

If we accept the Big Bang theory as true or at least plausible, the world began when a tiny bubble of highly condensed something burst and started to expand through a medium we should best call nothing. Traveling at the speed of light, the Big Bang conquered more and more of this empty, physics-less medium and turned it into what we recognize as the matter.

Time also began with the Big Bang. It's a dimension, but it's also the defining parameter that gives our Universe a meaning - it gives it a depth. Our three dimensions have no meaning without time. If we could travel any distance in no time, then there would be no meaning to physical sizes of anything. Without time, our Universe could have remained peacefully locked in its primeval pixel. Apparently, the creation of time forced it to expand.

The time we measure is a representation of the big, universal Time. It's our way of handling reality and parceling it into little bits. And herein lies the major problem in our understanding of Time and its limits.

We tend to separate time into seconds, minutes, years, centuries. But the real universal Time is continuous. It must be continuous, because otherwise there would be timeless gaps between its elementary segments that would have no physical definition. If we treat Time as quantized, then there's no problem all explaining all the little mysteries of our world.

What I think.

I hear ya luvable

If you're confused, use this to contemplate: 3d is to 2d as 4d is to 3d

Makes things easier

I always thought that the 4th dimension is time and space? If we ever fully understand the 4th dimension, wouldn't it be possible that it could lead to the discovery of time travel? I think that the "wormholes" in space are 4d, and if we can again, fully understand the working of the fourth dimension, we can probably understand time travel, or "wormholes".

Can other people see what I'm trying to get at? I'm known for ending up rambling about nonsense, but that's how I see 4d.

 

[d4rkk0]

lol i get the 4th dimension when im high x[)

but rly i think it culd be in space, we've only explored so much of it.

 

[da warrior]

it would be space i think lol

 

[rs3r]

wow that video confused me so muchhh so i have to say, no comment

There are already believed to be much more than 4 dimensions. According to string theory there are ten, with six of them curled up into a tiny manifold that we couldn’t see.

However with the advent of "The Second Superstring Theory" it becomes much more confusing. http://www.theory.caltech.edu/people/jhs/strings/

String theory is a great explanation, but until it can be tested with the scientific method, it will remain just a possible explanation over an unkown altnernative.
