Do you believe other dimensions exist that we are not able to see with our own senses?

time is the 4th dimension... and i think there are other planes of existence, whether or not they are all located in the same dimension or each one its own dimension, but death transports you to the other planes, and ghosts may stem from that.

Search the forums about the 10 different dimensions -or search google. It's really very VERY interesting.

gah... string theory is quantom theory are so insanely complex, yet string theory's basic concept drives people to view it as purely science fiction, thus interest in it is lower than other theories it seems, at least at times.

why is your theory any better than his? Do you know for sure his is wrong?

i definately believe that when we die, the observer in us (your soul) is a real existing thing that moves on to a higher dimension, yet we retain conciousness...

think what dreams may come

I remember there was some flash movie that expained pretty well what those other dimensions are, or how they worked but I cant find it now. If someone can find it, cookie4u!

i'll have my views on life, and you can go ahead and have yours. if you'd much rather believe there's life in a 'heaven' after this one, be my guest.. i'll however choose to believe the possible harsh reality that this is all we get, with possibilities of our exitence fleshed out in other dimensions as well.
without scientific evidence for or against it, I'll continue to believe it. :)

i seriously think some dreams may be connected to other dimensions, maybe things that the versions of you in different dimensions actually experience? other dreams may just in fact be unconnected and just fleshed out ideas that you think of at the deepest level of your brain but never really think about when awake.
i really want to get into lucid dreamimg though, that'd be hardcore if I could.

Now you sound like one of those "Sylvia Browne" kookoos ;)

Quantum theory seems to predict other dimentions besides our three spacial and single temporal. We may even exist in these other dimentions and not realize it, think of it how an ant probably doesn't realize that there are three dimensions. So I don't really question whether they exist or not, that I'm rather certain of as a matter of opinion. My only question is: where does it all end?

how do they quantify these theories? Do they provide solid proof or pretty sound evidence that they do exist?

The math works out to predicting the existence of these dimensions. I'm not good at explaining it but lets try... Lets say we have a safe, it's a three dimensional safe. No three dimensional object can get in there and steal the cash. However a theoretical 4 (or more) dimensional object could simply reach in and take the cash. A higher dimensional object could theoretically interact with a lower dimensional object. This is somewhat proven because we ourselves as three dimensional objects being able to interact with two dimensional objects.

If we take our safe and reduce it to a two dimensional safe, lets say a square on a paper. You can't draw a line through our square (just as you can't put your hand through a real safe), but you can pick up your pencil and put it in the square. That is how easy it would be for you to get into a real safe if you existed in the 4th spacial dimension.


I don't think I explained it well, sorry. The main idea is that an object (or person) of N dimensions probably can't detect an object of N+1 dimensions. But a person of N dimensions can detect and interact with one of N-1 dimensions (or lower).

How does that work? I don't think we can interact with a 2-d object.

I've always thought there was too much space out there for there to not be a little bit of everything.

That sentence made sense in my head, at any rate...
