      If it were true, your 'shadow' would invert itself inside out every time your real body rotated... I don't think most people sleep normally until they turn over and have all of their innards pop out and wrap around them! But those are still the right types of questions to ask

    Here's fuel for thought: as 3D beings, we can fully perceive anything and everything on a 2D plane (as demonstrated by the circle-in-the-box scenario), however due to the lack of the third dimention, a (theoretical) 2D person would find it impossible to look "up" and see us, as we simply exist above their dimension.
    Taking this one step further - if a 4D person was to look at a 3D plane, they too would be able to perceive everything at once - you, the house you're in, the plumbing of the house, your organs digesting your last meal... anything. And the scary part is, as we exist on a 3D plane, we would be completely unable to look "out" to see these 4D people. They could exist, and be watching you read this, right now, but you wouldn't be able to tell. ;)

They simply can't, as they're restricted in what they can see by the plane on which they exist. They could probably see our shadow, if we were to cast it over them, but that's about it.
      In terms of 3D observing 4D, I see no reason as to why we wouldn't be able to see the shadow of a 4D person, but we wouldn't be able to directly observe them.

      @@Loo_Kah no. The 4th dimensional cube that we all call "tesseract" is the equivalent of a glass box in our dimension. It is made for us to understand how cubes work on 4 dimensions. The real terrasact is a "closed" object in our perspective, we will still be able to see all it's sides but we will need to walk around the box to see it. However, as for 4d beings, they will be able to see it's "shadow" as a 3d object, but will still be able to see all it's sides even if they looked at it in one perspective. Basically, it's similar on how "glass" cubes are made for nursery students to understand how a box works, and how the shadow of a box works, we will be able to see all sides of it as a line at an upper perspective, but 2d beings will need to walk around to see all of it's sides. I hope your mind doesn't shut off simultaneously after reading this...

      4D is time doesn't rly make sense every demension has time in it, being able to go in the past when you existed let's say exactly 10seconds and then you go in the future also exactly 10seconds does not make sense if you think about it like there should be a difference even so close to zero that could be considered negligible so well you didn't exist in that time. When we take 4d as time you existing in the past present and future doesn't really make sense since 4D is just 3D with more perpendicular lines or more planes that makes the 4D somewhat special so just so you know time is not 4D

Of course not, just because you can’t observe something from one perspective doesn’t nullify it’s existence. And your example relies heavily on time TRAVEL, instead of what time is supposed to be: a measurement system. Just like length, width, and distance. Sound familiar? Let’s try something, say we have a ball and a box. You take the ball and put it in the box. Where’s the ball? In the box, of course. You watched it go in there, you remember it. You can envision it in there. Hell, here’s an extremely convenient visual for what you’re probably thinking of: 3:35 . This is a little something called object permanence, the one thing we use to identify intelligence in organisms, and surprisingly ignore it everywhere else.
      Honestly, I’m just tired of seeing these geometry buffs insisting that anything “4D” has to still be something you can see, taste, and put your dick in. These are just 3D constructs that can be inverted on themselves, get your head out of the tessaract.

As dimensionality rises, physical presence would diminish. Earth, unfolded entirely into a 2d plane would be infinitely larger, but as the speed of light is a constant, on this hypothetical 2d plane, light would take longer to cross the same distance, so time would also move relatively slower due to absolute constraints.

Similar to the ball and box in the 2d plane. You see a line but couldn’t see that it is a box with a ball inside but you know it is something because you hit the box.

      Imagine being on a plane (graph paper, or even just plain old line paper), and you are a line on the 2-D surface X,Y. The paper represents where (You) are and what (You) can percive. If, let's say we have a circle on the paper as well, it would look like a line, save for when it moves either farther, or closer, on the two planes of existence. If we took a shpere, a 3-D object and tried to move it on said 2-d plane, it would be confined to the rules of said dimensional plane. Since the Shere would be able to move in three different dimensions, X,Y,Z The object would appear to be 2-D to you.
      As the object moves side to side on the x and y scales, it would look normal. Things get weird when you start moving on an axis that doesn't exist. The shpere, while moving on the Z axis passing through the 2-D plane would appear to shrink until it looks like nothing is there, before suddenly popping back up and growing in size.
      This is a really compact version of things I've been thinking about and am not really sure if its correct.

    • @PunamKumari-rc7md
      @PunamKumari-rc7md 3 роки тому +9

      You got it slightly wrong... A point in time is 0D just like it is in space you can't move. linear time is 1D since you can move forward. Probability is 2D so there are multiple simple timelines parallel stacked one over the other. The question is... what is the Third dimension in time?
      Theory about the 2nd dimension of time : The laws of physics in the world remains same. It is the natural selection factors that differs. Let's say in a world you toss a coin. No matter how many timelines you see the outcome will be the same if the surrounding conditions are. Now let's say there is another Earth where dinosaurs aren't dead. Why? Because of the law of natural selection. There is always a tiny randomisation in every world. For example, you can have a new element in some other world. Now let's say the meteor that was supposed to hit Earth was made up of a certain element but it doesn't exist in another universe, how will there be a meteor then? Or what if the meteor was made up of some other element and it never came to Earth due to that. Therefore, we can conclude that probability can only be altered by factors such as chemical reactions and the randomness of consciousness....

      I agree, it's hard to wrap my mind around too. We don't have the mental capacity to directly visualize 4D objects, because our capacity for visualization is learned from what we can see in the outside world. (hence why people born blind have non-visual dreams.) But the concept is similar to this: A figure-8 is the 2D facsimile of a Moebius strip, but a real 3D Moebius strip doesn't need to pass through itself to connect its two ends together like a figure-8 does, because a real 3D Moebius strip has that extra degree of freedom provided by the Z axis. Similarly a real 4D Klein bottle has an extra degree of freedom provided by the W axis, allowing the little connecting tube to wrap around its main body instead of having to pass through it.

    However, just as anything in the 2D plane would not be able to perceive anything in the 3D plane (us), we are unable to perceive anything in the 4D plane. When you die, you become less of an astral being and more of a light source able to see everything.
    To take it one step further, maybe we're all already dead while our relatives from the 2D plane continue to mourn us...

    so 4D is being able to see the front and back of something, like a medical scan. that kinda makes sense cause you don't see them at the same time but time isn't a spacial dimension. when you see a shape you are always seeing a max of three sides (ex. top, left, right, in isometric), but a cube has 6 sides so you need to see the other three sides to see the full shape ( += bottom, back-left, back-right). So having a fly-through/walk-around image scan is another dimension than a regular "3d" jpeg image.

      Sosig Not the ghost as we know it, you know the way people think it’s a spirit from a dead body that’s stuck between worlds because those things don’t exist in science, but instead ”ghosts” would be 4D entities that we somehow can sense but not see. But in instances when we do see them would probably be because they somehow got into our 3D world and my personal explaination based on theories of when people hear ”ghosts talk” is that sound can bounce through levels of different dimensions so it passes though our level sometimes, so we can’t see the entities talking because they exist on another level, however, we can hear the sound waves made by them because it bounces to our level

    @ICEMAN-fp9zn 3 роки тому +38

    I imagine 4 or more dimensions as connecting two parts of the room that do not normally connect in 3 dimensions but can also connect in 3 dimensions. It is also like having an invisable space directly next to you that you can't see but you know is there. Almost like seeing something out of the corner of your eye but when you look at it it is gone. Also I imagine 4 or more dimensions almost like a room of mirrors where the reflected images actually connect even though an image reflected through two mirrors does not touch the image still appears in the second mirror. Now imagine that a 4th dimensional object can pass through what would seem like a solid object in 3 dimensions and be viewed as a 3 dimensional object. What would happen if you touched a 4 dimensional object passing through a 3d plane? Well I imagine it would feel like "pins and needles" since this object does not actually exist in 3 dimensions. However it would be very interesting to note how 4th dimensional objects can interact with 3 dimensional objects in unseen ways like from the invisible space that I mentioned earlier. For example if you knock an object off the table it falls to the floor. In this example if you were to knock an object through 4 dimensions it would disappear, bump your arm from an unseen direction and then land in the corner of the room. Hypothetically speaking of course 😅😅😅

      Time is not a dimension unless gravity is. Time is linear because it is a measurement of idea's of conscious thought, measures of matter or reality, sentient thought is a product of the dimensional matter it is composed of, the shell that restricts it our bodies. If it develops other senses to perceive various other dimensions it is capable of conceiving, and considering it, yet very limited in it's ability to express it. I imagine being able to sense higher dimensions and then trying to explain it to the normal person would make one seem insane lol. The example of us watching one such explanation on a 2D screen leaves something missing, something to be desired :).

I firmly believe the universe is a 4th dimensional space (in which the Planets represent the 3 dimensional objects in it) If we could comprehend higher dimensions we could see the wholeness of the universe.

    An excellent way to bridge the gap between 3D and 4D is to use 3.5D (3 and a half dimensions) as a stepping stone. Just like a graphics/animation artist using 2.5D as a foundation to help explore the 3D realm of the arts, we can all use 3.5D as the central focus point between these two dimensions and use these grounds to compare and contrast the data that we already know so far.

      Not even closely lol. We are absolutely unable to conceive of a 4th dimension. It is merely a concept to us as humans. We can describe it in many conceptual ways, but there is no way to *truly* conceive of it. Even the 3rd dimension is not *truly* experienced by us. Our eyes can only actually view objects as 2-dimensional projections. We can only perceive of the 3rd dimension because we learned how to on a 2-dimesional plane. We can understand things as 3-dimensional in the world because we able to move and change our perspective over time and view them from different angles. If there's a 3-dimensional cube on the ground, I can look at it as 2D from the front, then start walking around to the side, visually capturing many 2D "frames" over time and conclude that it has depth, along with 2 other spacial dimensions that I can truly perceive of, width and height, thus "perceiving" it as 3D. We can even "perceive" of objects as 3-dimensional in a 2-dimensional projection (eg. on a piece of paper) because we understand that objects further away are smaller. Other things like shadows aid our perception and experience of the 3rd dimension as well.
      This all follows the n-1 rule:
      0D - Coordinations
      1D - Projection of a 1D line is a 0D coordination
      2D - Projection of a 2D plane is a 1D line
      3D - Projection of a 3D cube is a 2D square (plane) / 3D sphere is a 2D circle
      4D - Projection of a 4D object is a 3D object, as conceptually described in the video. The 4th dimension can be described as the spacial orientation of overlapping 3-dimensional spaces, connected as vertices. A tesseract is connected on all 90-degree angles, but the animation to describe it doesn't seem so, due to our inability of true perception of such an object.

      My favorite part is existence.
      All those electrons and photons we used to think were separate entities that 'act weird' are actually strings going through 4-D space and they act exactly how you'd expect a string to act.
      The 'particles' are the result of the strings intersecting our 3rd dimension, thus we see dots, cross sections of strings.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is string theory, correct?
      String theory hasn't had any observational evidence to confirm it, so at this point you would be as well attributing it all to probability - Occam's Razor and all that.

      It does have observational evidence, but it's somewhat thin. It's based on the observations of quantum particles 'seeming' to be in multiple places at once (which violates all the conventional laws of physics).
      Similar to how dark matter theory is based on the observation that 'something' is bending the light in those Hubble Telescope Deep Space pictures.
      String theory would be a lot stronger if they could map out the strings and predict their changes based on algorithms.
      I'm sure people 10 times smarter than me are already on that.

      manictiger ah, interesting.
      Is it not also possible that there is another explanation apart from string theory that explains this phenomenon?

    • @manictiger
      @manictiger 7 років тому +6

      It's plenty possible for string theory to be wrong.
      Even if it was morphed into 'tetrahedron theory', where all particles are part of 4-D tetrahedrons, it'd still be the same concept--
      That everything is part of a fourth dimension.
      There's also controversy over whether the fourth dimension is time or not.
      I consider time to be dimension 3a, but if 3a is the answer to the problem, then that would definitely change the entirety of where quantum science will be going and the idea of 4, 5, 6+ dimensions would remain abstract mathematical concepts.
      3a and 4 could both be the answer, which would make things considerably more complicated.
      There's also the concept of multiple time dimensions, but that's way beyond what I'm ready to grind my brain against.
      In a few hundred years, this stuff we're struggling to answer will probably be taught to kids in the 3rd grade.

    What if 4th dimension isn’t a spatial dimension but a literal mirror dimension of our world where things are similar but different, that means stranger things is 4d and stuff, but it would make sense as a 4th spatial dimension couldn’t fit in with the other three and it’s not time because we live in a 3D world with xyz coords but we also have time so obviously that can’t be it so maybe it’s a literal dimension that’s mirrored or something of our world?

    I have a question: how is it possible that in the 2-dimensional space you could see the line as for example wall. thats not how it works. wouldnt it be that actually you would see nothing because from the perspecitve if you saw a line that would mean that the 2-dimensional world would have thickness, heigtht, which would make it 3-dimensional? or from the 2-dimensional character perspective would it look differently?

    Time is linear for us 3D beings, but there're theories out there that suggest for 4D, 5D, or maybe 7D beings time is not linear(a straight line), instead, for them, it might be like a circle. *This is the key to predict the future.*
