Paper 2 - Dimensions 2

See first paper for disclaimer.
This is the second paper which is to expound on some of the ideas presented in the first.
Please remember...
Some of these ideas are wrong.
I have better ones which I will put into later papers.

On the Implications of On Dimensions

To understand this paper, one must have read my previous paper, On Dimensions. In that paper I introduced a viewpoint on dimensions that is rather novel to the average layman. This paper is simple to examine some of the implications of my article. Specifically, I will discuss time travel and also travel into other universes. Hang tight, this might get sticky.

Time travel will always be a popular topic in novels, movies and the like, but how feasible is it really? At this point, we get into the classical grandfather conundrum. Say for instance that you decide for whatever reason to go back in time, assuming doing so is possible, and kill your grandfather. You decide to do this while he is a baby. Hence, you kill him. What happens to you? Before your grandfather married your grandmother, before they had whichever parent they had and that parent married his/her spouse and had you, your grandpa was dead. That means that you would cease to exist. This is a rather staggering thought.

Of course, that’s not too staggering compared to the next few sentences. So now you don’t exist, and never have. One implication is that you never went back in time to kill your grandfather. Therefore, your grandpa is alive, marries, has a kid, kid marries, has you. You go back in time to kill your grandpa. Sound familiar? This is an infinite loop, something which cannot exist. It just keeps going round and round forever. Obviously, this is not a viable option.

This is rather the traditional view of time travel. If any changes are made in the past, they could affect the future in huge ways, potentially rendering what you did undone or differently, creating an infinite loop again. However, in light of Dimensions, this cannot happen in the first place. I had said that one cannot achieve 4D from 3D. This means that a 3D object has no time. There is no way to move along the a axis of time when you are trapped within 3D. So, the only way to really access a dimension is to access the one after it and then exist in the one after it to experience the one before it.

Let me put it this way. In 3D, you could theoretically go to any location in 3D by moving along the x y or z axes. However, how will you do that if you have no time? You cannot access the x y z axes without being in 4D. If we extend this logically, one would have to exist in 5D to move back and forth on the a axis. Hence, we cannot truly experience 4D unless we exist in 5D. This is why time travel is impossible within the bounds of Dimensions.

If 5D really exists, there are other universes. To illustrate this, I will use a handy Paint painting.



These are the physical three dimensions. If we extend this to view a representation of the a axis, we see something surprising.



This is 4D. You must have two directions to travel, based upon the definition. However, if we continue this to represent the b axis, or 5D, again we see something surprising.

This means nothing, you say, because time travels in one direction, and two if you exist in 5D! This is ridiculous! However, I would contend with this blatancy. If you examine the graph, you might begin to understand that this universe is a location on the b axis. We could say that our universe’s position on the b axis is 0. Now, we cannot move on the b axis, because we do not exist in 5D. However, we are constantly moving in one direction on the a axis. If we were to move on the b axis, we would be in another universe! This is the foundation of 5D!

Now, in Dimensions I had said that we don’t know what the 6th dimension is, but that is not true and true at the same time. We know what it is, definition-wise, but we have no conception what it would be like. If we were to add a c axis into all of this, we would see that if we move in the c axis, we would be in a different reality, with different universes, different times, etc.

Now, I contend with universe travel because we do not exist in 5D. We exist in 4D. We would actually have to exist in 6D to be able to access the different universes presented. This is the crux of the issue.
