Dimensions

Yup. Sorry for my bullshits. I was thinking of 2012, for Mayas and there is nothing found which will destroy the world, so I though for volcanos.

There's is a fine line between talking about dimensions and talking about timecubes.

[Armondikov]

I will give you a nice shiny penny if you never, ever, mention, ever TimeCube ever again.

What does it mean's "TimeCube"?

[Senator]

I will tell you for two shiny pennies.

I will tell you for two shiny pennies.

Will you whisper it to me via pm for three extremely shiny pennies?

[Armondikov]

Fine. Enjoy your slow death:

hey it is true, a kid at our school brought it and got suspended

Is there a way to build a 4 dimension processor chip which is supporting "t" dimension? That means that there will not have CPU frequency, no processing power like Flops, no frames per second in the games. Just a stream of data which isn't streaming on frequency. To have an example for the GPUs. No frames per second, just changing the coordinates of the meshes in real time. A constant stream of data which is not streamed in frequencies. In the games, the movets will be like real but can we make a monitor without refresh rate? Every pixel to change alone but not in frequences. Everything to be like in real-world movement? I hope I have explained well, or if someone likes me to explain more clearly, I can but in Bulgarian

[Senator]

Yes, No, Maybe?

Arguably, reality is running on exactly that. You can't get more real-time than reality.

And every science experiment, is nothing more than side channel attack on the underlining program of the universe in an attempt to reverse engineer its algorithms.

[Armondikov]

I don't think so. For a start, a processor sort of is 4D. With the fourth dimension being what the states change along. 0 > 1 > 1 > 1 > 0 > 0 > 1 >0 and so on as time moves. A GPU works the same way, it's just that the output is dedicated to graphics so works more efficiently, it's not really about it streaming out data in a dramatically different, magical way. I'll have to talk to some hardware specialists about it.

0s and 1s are an illusion. They are nothing more than different informational structures of familiar 3+1(time) dimensional objects. We simply attach a name to them.

[Philosophy]

Information itself is not a law, but it's rather important.

Consider a human.
And consider a pile of atoms, in the same percentances (carbon, oxygen etc) as a human, weighting as much as a human.

A human and such a pile might contain the same kind of atoms.
Are governed by the same physical laws.
And can have the exact same energy (same mass).

However they are different. Because the informational content is different.

Information is all the little vectors, and speeds, and directions all these atoms and molecules move and interact with each other.
In fact, when someone kills you, it's not your atoms it messes up. Energy cannot be created or destroyed after all, it's your informational content it messes up.

I had a thought recently, could be bunkum, but I was thinking about the fifth dimension.

If you regard the 3rd dimension as something through which you can extrude the 2nd, to make a 3D shape, and the 4th dimension through which you can extrude the 3rd, to make an animation for example, then the 5th must be something through which you can extrude the 4th, and what would that be?

Well, I thought, it would be sliding sideways between alternate realities, alternate sets of the 4th dimension, seems fair enough.

But I was troubled by the problem of smooth motion.

To move smoothly along the 5th dimension axis, objects would have to appear to morph from one probable shape to the next. The problem with that is that the interstitial stage between probabilities could be very improbable, so that between similar universes, a buffer zone of improbability would have to exist.

This problem vanished when I dialed my considerations back to the scale of particles.

I stress this is just idle musing as I walked down the street one day...

What if the fifth dimension is actually evident and fundamental to our everyday lives? What if, rather than the axis of variation between universes, the fifth dimension is simply the axis of variation of This universe... allow me to explain.

Imagine that there is a fundamental particle. This is the only particle in the universe. The effect of the fifth dimension on this particle is to manifest variations throughout the lower four dimensions. These variations number in the uncountable trillions of trillions. At one point on the fifth dimension, it looks like an electron, at another, a proton, and so on, with infinite variations producing the massive volume of matter and energy visible in the universe.

What I'm saying is that every atom and mote of energy in your body and the world around you are all 5th dimensional expressions of the one fundamental particle.

Bit of a mindfrak, I know, but an interesting conclusion to draw. I'm probably totally wrong, but it seems elegant to me.

[Senator]

Yes, no, maybe?

[Vladko1]

Bren, I think you are right if I understood you with my crappy English. The fifth dimension is which Universe the object or matter is. To say I think (many people too) that we live in multiverse. To say, our Universe starts the dimension with 0. If we change our position from one Universe to another ( to say our and 2 other) the dimensions can be 12.464515 in the first we have visited and -121450.452168 for the last. The problem is, how we can measure our position?
