Cosmologists have been looking for evidence that this occurs on the grand scale as well, but also to no avail - within the limits of our measurements, the fabric of spacetime appears perfectly flat with only miniscule possible deviation. Models and tests show that this can happen in our universe with straight beams of light in the vicinity of massive objects, creating effects such as Einstein rings. The flatlanders could also, with sensitive equipment, draw very long, straight, parallel lines and note that the distances between them decreased gradually, such that an infinitely long pair of lines should eventually converge. Alas, so far no such phenomena have been found. There would also be cases where objects on the other side of the sphere would be visible in opposite directions.Īccordingly, cosmologists have searched for galaxies that are visible on opposite sides of the sky, or for motion patterns that suggest galaxies on opposite ends of the sky are interacting with each other, gravitationally or otherwise. If a group of flatlanders were living on a 3D sphere, they wouldn't be able to tell at first, but if they were to look very far into the distance (using 2D light that follows the sphere), they could see light that has traveled all the way around the sphere in a circle. but all the dimension above the 4th are meaningless for our day to day live.įor some time now, cosmologists have been attempting to answer this very question, along with several others, via measurements of the properties of the entire visible universe. There would be a total of 11 dimensions (Maybe more). So we're surfing on the world's 4th dimension, but that's only what we see. Being from the 5th Dimension might look at a 4D object and think It's a small sphere on their table, but for us it's our whole Universe (MIB style)

The 4th dimension turns your picture into a movie 4th Dimension is another Axis, perceived by us as Time. Remove the 4th dimension and the 3rd dimension wouldnt be visible since we would loose the sense of depth therefore see the world as a 2 dimensional picture. We can't see the 4th dimension, but we feel it, we feel it as the time passing by, it's this Time that allows us to navigate in the 3rd dimension. The 4th dimension allows us to move and behold the first 3 dimensions, that we interpret as the world we see.

Same goes until the 4th, which is the dimension we're living in. By adding the 2nd dimension you could 'move' in and other axis then see the line of the 1st dimension. I've seen in a documentary that you need to 'live' in the Dimension above to be able to notice the dimension below.Įxemple, to be able to see the 1st dimension, you need to live in the 2nd, 1st Dimension is a line, to be able to see it you need to move, if not all you'd see would be a dot. Also, another implication is that we can actually (with enough power) warp spacetime into a 4d shape and cross from point A to point B instantly (similar to teleportation) and avoiding the distances that separate the two points. The implication is that our universe may actually be bent into a 4d shape through gravity, and we may perceive it as infinite, although it's not. Keep in mind that when i say '4D' or four dimensions, i actually mean 4-dimensional euclidean space (space with 4 axes instead of 3), not 3-dimensional space and 1 dimensional time. What if we are living in a 3D world, but bent into a 4D geometrical shape, just that we can't perceive it?Īre we actually living in higher spatial dimensions?Ĭan we visit the Fourth spatial dimension? They traverse the expanses and eventually come to the conclusion that their world is infinite. The 2D world is bent into a 3-dimensional sphere, but the flat beings can't perceive it. Imagine a 2D world, completely flat, with people living on it ( flat as well ). I've always been intrigued by how four-dimensional objects can cast 3D shadows, can rotate around planes, and move upon a mirror image of itself.
