Question: Do you think there really are different dimensions of reality!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
OK so I googled and found this as a quite cool and fun answer :-)))))))))))) I hope it answers your question!.


Well, as everyone knows, there are currently (in the scientific community at least) 3 recognized dimensions!. The first dimension exists on a line!. Everything within this dimension is limited to being a dot on a line, which has only length!. The dot within itself has no substance or measurement other than the fact that it exists!. The dimension, however, has length!. The second dimension exists on a plane!. Everything within this dimension is limited to being a line or a point!. These lines, as above, have only length, and the points have only definition, no length, width, or depth!. The plane itself has length and width, extending perpendicularly to the first dimension!. The third dimension is somewhat more complicated!. It also extends perpendicularly to the second dimension, anything therein can be a plane, a line, a dot, or an object!. In three-dimensional space, three-dimensional objects do exist, but the thing is, they are the equivalent of line or plane segments (which could also exist in the first (line segments), and second (plane/line segments) dimensions), three-dimensional 'segments'!. Thusly, our introduction to dimensional physics is complete!. From here, it just gets *more* confusing!.

The 4th Dimension (No, not time, yet!.)

Yes, that's right, the 4th dimension does NOT where time lives!. This has recently changed in my mind, I had always thought, "Oh, well, I guess I'll just assign all of time to one dimension and leave it in a little box!." But, it is not so!. After seeing something for a video game, I'm led to believe that there are 2 parts of the 4th dimension, the physical, and the metaphysical!. (Which takes us into the next 4 dimensions, but for now!?)

Physical 4th dimension: This relates to '4th dimensional luggage' as it is called in the game!. It is basically the dimension being expanded in every dimension, perpendicularly, by 1 degree in every direction!. If you draw a cube, then draw extensions on every side, of equal length, and you'll have something that looks like it!. The point of 4th dimensional luggage is that (and here's where the above diagram comes in) a 2" by 2" by 2" square, opened up, with the inside being 4th dimesional, the inside would be exponentially larger!. HUH!? Well, let's examine that!. 2x2x2=8"!. 8" squared is 64", making it much larger on the inside than a normal 3 dimensional cube!. (Once you read it the 3rd or fourth time, it'll make sense!.)

Metaphysical 4th dimension: This relates to what I call the 'tesseract', or the travel form of the 4th dimension!. Believe it or not, this is much easier to comprehend, but only because I have a better way of explaining it!. Go grab a piece of paper!. And a pen!. I'll wait!. Ok!? Well, now draw a line!. Put two points on the line!. Label them A and B!. Put a point between them!. Now, how do you get from A to B without going through the third point!? You go to the second dimension, and go around!. Now, draw a box!. (I know it's not a plane, but it suffices in my world) Draw a line in the box!. Draw one point in each of the parts of the box now sectioned off!. How do you get from one to the other!? You jump over the line, in the 3rd dimension!. Well, now we can't draw!. Let's say you have a point!. Around this point, there's a sphere!. Outside of this sphere, there's another point!. How do you get from A to B!? One would immediately say (if you were a member of the scientific community) "A WORMHOLE!" But, if you bend the sphere, there's still the sphere in the way!. Space which is bent is still there!. This is my question to you!. A tesseract (in theory) would be an area of negative space, which starts at the entrance point, and ends at the exit point!. All matter in between is still there, but between the two points, there is nothing, meaning if you enter one side, you come out the other side (like going through a doorway, but if one end of the doorway was here, the other end 100 feet away), but instantaneously!. (Though here I must stop and redefine the word instantaneous!. It does mean 'instant travel' but not 'travel without time' because an instant is a measure of time) Confused yet!? This, however, is a much safer, and much faster method of travel!. When anything is 'bent' everything is 'bent' along with it!. Case in point: If you bend a piece of metal, and it has a picture on it, the picture gets stretched!. What I'm really talking about: If you bend space (metal) and it has time tied to it (picture), then time gets bent, when you go through the hole, time passes normally while you are inside the hole (which has distance in and of itself) to everyone else, but less for you!. Case in point: If you go through a wormhole from here to Alpha Centauri, then go back, it takes 5 seconds for you, but on earth, enough time passes for you to go there by 'normal' transportation and back!. (Parabolic time dilation)

Damn that was long!. Ok, on to the picture!.










































I am SURE there was more to my answer earlier but it didn't post right!. One of us goofed!.!.!.Yahoo or I!.!.!.!.Most likeley I :DDDDDD

Anyway I was saying!.!.!.my FAVORITE dimension is the FIFTH and here you are :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Reality and Dimension are the concepts of human mind!. What is perceived is considered as reality!. Any concept is related to thought process of human mind and perception to information conveyed through sensory organs via the media of sight, hearing, touch etc!. The reality we perceive is related to two basic forms of energy states, namely (1)!.the transverse Electro-Magnetic ( E!.M ) spectrum starting from the highest frequency cosmic rays going down the visible spectrum of ultra violet to infra red and further lowering into micro-wave and other communication bands of frequencies and (2)!. the longitudinal pressure-related energy states amenable to hearing,touch,smell etc!. Again the reality we experience is related to mind and subtle conscious actions which analyze,differentiate and synthesize the external sensory information into present cognitive and stored re-cognitive states!. According to Indian Advaita Philosophy only pure awareness known as the Absolute Reality is named as the Brahman which is considered beyond all limitations attributed to dimensions and qualities!. The question of dimensionally qualified creation ranging from infinitely small ( micro-cosmic) to infinitely great (macro-cosmic) universe always (ie!.without reference to any action related to time ) is answered inferring to Brahman as the Absolute pure awareness but by referring to something identical with it as the Pure Consciousness which is the ultimate culmination of all manifest creation into a single Unit Entity named as the Saguna Brahman (1) while the former is called Nirguna Brahman(0)!.This is because all activities and qualities of a three dimensional phenomenal world are performed consciously by instrumental Mind!. Just as the electromagnetic is the most fundamental form of all transformed energies, our general awareness comes into operation only through our mind-consciousness by the basic quality of differentiation!. This sets the condition for a conceptual state of existence known as ' duality' and the ' action' of differentiation results in a mutually originated from a single source but orthogonally created planes of space-time dimensional domains!. The single ' source' in general referred to as the Universal Mind is activated by Universal consciousness and creates a phenomenal world of Duality in which the 'subjective dimension' as perceiver is always held upright and refers to itself as "I" as we all refer to ourselves and an objective physical world in which the same conscious activity creates a relativistically defined space- time dimensions sampling in between continually and creating the electromagnetic spectrum as discussed above and further scaled transformations into different elemental and compound physical structures on planetary systems!. Hence referring to the question itself 'thought' 'reality' differentiation' and dimension all relate to activities of the subjective mind but are dimensionless referred to the questioners "I" or the same of the answerer!. According to Philosophy the Saguna Brahman (dimensionally assumed as "1" ) co-exists as a sub-set of Nirguna Brahman ( dimensionally assumed as"0") as dipicted by the intersection of X-Y axes as "0" and all dimnesional qualifications graduated on either set of axes!. To explain in a two dimensional picture of a phenomenon all assumed quantities can be multiplied or divided by "1" to reflect the same quantity relativistically defined as magnitudes of numbers which are exercised by dimensional concepts of the mind going exteriorly and receding to absoulte zero in a quest for self realiztion seeking the origin of all dimensional manifestations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well Einstein proved the theory years ago of different dimensions!. look up his work!. and who knows what they are learning today!? check it all out!. i do believe there are different dimensions of possibly our lives but totally different than the ones we live in this one!. but who knows maybe i'm nuts!
just my opinion that's all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, definitely!.

It's all real!.!.!. and there are things going on around us that we can't see with physical eyes, but can be discerned spiritually, once you've prepared yourself sufficiently (for many years, with great patience!.!.!. unless it is one of your natural gifts, as some people have!.!.!. not me, but my hubby is like that)!.

For instance, the earth has an electromagnetic field that is there, but we can't see it!.!.!. we can, however, see its effects!.

There are angels all around us!. Peace ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Time could be a dimension!.!.!.!.Though time is also a lot of other things, like energy!.!.!.

Truthfully, I see no need for another dimension, up and down, left and right back and fourth, WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT!?!?!?!.!.!.Though I am not much into the theory of dimensions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, there are spiritual dimensions that you cross on your way to knowing God!. I think if you could see the entire light spectrum, you could see some spirits that have dropped down to communicate with us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A doubtful eyes prefer to run around searching for any possible "other side"!.!.!.hoping to see a more acceptable reality!.

I see no dimension, I take reality as it is!. Face to face, flat and clear!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Apparently 10 dimensions is easy to support, although there are 11+ dimension theories currently being offered!. I've always like this explanation:
