You may think that living in a Universe that may have an infinite number of dimensions a bit
of a challenge to understand. What I am suggesting is that there is a set of
principles, properties or Dimensions that provide the foundation that
our 3 or more dimensional Universe is built on. There may be other
different arrangements of other dimensions that I could not begin to describe or
even understand. Is
it possible to imagine a universe with an infinite number of straight,
or curved, parallel dimensions? Can you imagine living in a
Reality where there are five straight parallel dimensions and one
curved dimension? Who knows, a Reality like that may actually exist.
Our classical
understanding of the properties of a set of dimensions,
or
coordinates, is something that can be defined and measured within our 3
(or more depending on the point of view) dimensional reality.
"The
only real defining property is that they have a length, width, and
height. If you place them on a Cartesian plane, you will have a X,Y,
and Z axis - three axes means 3 dimensions. Aside from that, 3
dimensional objects tend to be built from 2 dimensional objects that
form a “net” - a building block." (Oct 8, 2017 What are the properties of three dimensional shapes? - Quora)
But what if a set of Dimensions was a set of conditions or properties
that allow us to measure something in our reality rather than the
object that we are measuring? For example, we can measure something in
relationship to something else
(a ruler or scales) and come up with a measurement. But what are
we measuring? How do we define it? What is that measurement related to?
We need a standard or set of conditions to be able to make sense of
that measurement in the first place before we do anything else. We
can't measure it if we have nothing to compaire it to. What are the
Demensions (conditions or properties) that allow us to
measure something and make sense of the measurement? You will probally
say length, width, and height. But where do they come from? What
conditions or properties allow us to make the measurement in the first
place? How can we measure something that is not within our 3 or more
dimensional reality with the tools that are a part of our 3 or more
dimensional reality? Its a bit like trying to take a photograph with a
hammer.
"The
properties of a quantum dot are determined by size, shape, composition,
and structure. The interesting electronic properties of quantum dots
arise from the specific size of their energy band gaps." (Dec 19, 2018 - The Properties and Applications of Quantum Dots)
It seems to me that the idea of a Dimension takes on a whole new
Paradigm (or Perspective). Dimensions become sets of conditions or
properties that pre-exist and build on each other to form our 3 (or
more) dimensional reality just as length, width, and height build on
each other to form something we can measure.
The theory of Quantum Fields is probally the best analogy to
describe the model below.
We had a very different understanding of our Universe before the
telescope came along. We thought that our world was flat and that we
were the centre of it all. The telescope allowed us to see our world
from another perspective that we were not at the centre of. The
development of new technology after the telescope has allowed us to
have a deeper understanding of the Universe we live in. We have the
equipment to test theories and make new discoveries about the Universe
around us. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has allowed us to gig deeper
into our beginnings and what we are made of within our 3 Dimensional
Paradigm.
Just as the telescope allowed us to better understand our world and the
Universe we live in and develop new theories and technologies, the LHC
is the beginning of opening up new horizons in other Dimensions that we
never thought possible. The information and technology gained from the
LHC will provide the foundation for future technology.
"But
for me, the quest for new, unexplained data is important because every
time that physicists think we have it all figured out, nature provides
a surprise that leads to a deeper understanding of our world.
The
LHC continues to test the standard model of particle physics.
Scientists love when theory matches data. But we usually learn more
when they don’t. This means we don’t fully understand what is
happening. And that, for many of us, is the future goal of the LHC: to
discover evidence of something we don’t understand. There are thousands
of theories that predict new physics that we have not observed. Which
are right? We need a discovery to learn if any are correct."
(10 years of Large Hadron Collider discoveries)
Isn’t the Quantum world like this? Will we ever know the answer to
everything?
There are so many different ideas in Classical
and Quantum physics
theory about Energy, Photons, Gravity, Astrophysical theory, Quantum
Field theory/Mechanics, String theory/M Theory etc. around these days
about this and that I’m thinking "These guys can’t be all wrong. Maybe
they are all right, but for different reasons."
Sometimes we need to throw away everything we have previously thought
and find a new Paradigm that allows us to find the answers. Sometimes
we find that by shifting our understating of what is actually
happening, we realise that we have been asking the wrong questions to
begin with and then we end up with different questions.
The 7 Dimensions of Everything and Nothing
takes the idea of a Quantum Dimension to another level, Paradigm or
Dimension. I am proposing that the idea of a Quantum Dimension is a set
of conditions or properties that allow us to measure something in our
reality rather than the coordinates of the object that we are measuring
in a 2 or more dimensional space. Dimensions become sets of conditions
or properties that pre-exist and build on each other to form our 3 (or
more) dimensional reality just as length, width, and height build on
each other to form something we can measure.
Unfortunately, we are all prisoners of our 3 dimensional (or more
dimensions depending on the point of view) reality. We cannot
step
outside of this 3 dimensional Paradigm no matter
how hard we try, and I
am no different to anyone else in this. But, we can still speculate
about other dimensional Universes. I feel that the current
multi-dimensional models only reflect parallel Universes that are
different expressions (or different dimensions) of the same Universe.
It seems to me that these
multi-dimensional Universe models
are too restrictive in that they do
not account for other possible dimensions besides the ones that have
evolved from the traditional 4 dimensional Space-time <0>
dimensional “Holographic Universe” where the information
stored in our Universe comes from another Dimension.that we live in.
The definition of multi-dimensional Universes should allow for other
arrangements of dimensions that are not consistent with our standard
relational reference points of height, width, depth and
time. Maybe we are all a part of a <0> dimensional
“Holographic Universe” where the information stored in our
Universe comes from another Dimension.
This Model
does not reflect the Universe we live in. It is simply an attempt to
describe the processes that bring everything and nothing together to
form our Universe, parallel Universes and different Universes in
different Dimensions that we are not aware of.
