dimensions

[erb]

Have you ever thought about other dimensions? I just don’t know what to say maybe there are other dimensions with us in them that do the stuff we don’t (ex. If you at a 4 way stop and you go straight the you in the next dimension takes a left goes down the street a ways get in a crash and dies) it keeps going on and on if you think about it because the millions and billions of decisions you made in your life there would have to be trillions of counter acts to the choices you have made. What are you thoughts and opinions on this topic?

Hello McFly!

An object in another dimension wouldn't react outside the third. In the same way your three dimensional head would react to a two dimensional wall if you were to run straight at it.

There are actually 4 dimentions that we know of the x,y,z cordinate plane not sure how to describe each and the 4th dimention is what we would call time. According to some theories out there, there could be as many as 11 diffrent dimentions out there.

...unless you delve into ideas like String Theory and the Multiverse. There could be millions of dimensions out there (and just as many theories about how many there could be, and just how they are acted upon by each other, or even the possiblities of traveling between them.) Which is what makes numerous concepts in the realm of topics like hyperspace travel so interesting. Really, if you consider "time" to be the fourth dimension, then theoretically if you could create something that could generate a gravity well so dense that time actually stops (perhaps like a black hole) could you then move freely into the next dimension? It's sort of like the difference between a 2D drawing on a piece of paper, and then generating and applying the power required to move off the paper to recreate the image in 3D as a clay model (although technically even a drawing on a paper is three dimensional, since the lead from a pencil would leave a mark that actually has a measurable z-value.)
