Dimensions

Explanation of the tenth dimension

Tenthdimension.com offers an easily understandable flash animation, or as it is now, a movie, hosted by Revver. Easy, that is if you wrote it. Just because it looks pretty and has a soothing voice, doesn’t mean it can be supported by reason, or in this cause, solely logic. Please note that this was wrote while watching the animation, and pausing it here and there. To start off, in the first ten seconds, the point that “he” describes is NOT a position. A position would require an area to have dimension if there were able to be positions on it. Next, as Lamp stated earlier, two dimensional creatures could still exist, by ways of gates in the digestive tract, and other ways that we cannot understand, since we can not venture to a two-dimensional world. Now as “he” describes how the “flatlander” tries to view balloon, “he” says that the balloon would simply appear in circles. The two-dimensional creature would only see in one dimension, if they carried the same basic properties as we humans do. These basic properties are that you can see in one less physical dimension in that of which you exist. It could still be possible, just as we have the ability to understand and see the three dimensions, with a complex brain and the aid of machines, respectively. As “he” describes the third dimension in a very unique way, it is truly not the third dimension, but very much still the second. The creature still travels in two directions, but now is limited only to a certain number of points within that one direction. So in conclusion, the “third” dimension that is described is only a limited version of the second. I was quite surprised that they described the fourth dimension as a line instead of a point. Many people seem to attempt to make a new dimension after the third to describe a point in time, where in reality, the third dimension is also a point, a point in time. I liked the relation to quantum physics when describing the fifth dimension, although I wish they would have explained that a bit more. The following seventh, eighth, and ninth dimensions are simply a repetition of the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Each Universe and it’s multiple starting points would both fall under the those of the lower dimensions. So overall that leaves us with a total of seven dimensions. But there is a possibility that more physical dimensions exist without us knowing of it. All of them can be mathematically proven, but that doesn’t gift enough evidence that there are unlimited number of dimensions, which also might be true. The more spacial dimensions that exist, the more higher dimension that can be applied to them, such as time. If you are following string or M-theory, this might suggest that there are five spacial dimensions, five time influenced dimensions, and one ultimate dimensions, containing all within a point, as described by the animation. Though it was a good attempt, the author must not have thought it through all the way before spending so much time making a cool-looking flash animation of it. I hope eventually someone [Lamp] will attempt to describe it, but without the errors that I have pointed out.
