The previous post covered dimensions up to the sixth. The following video will cover the remainder. Buckle up your seatbelt, because it is going to get more bizarre.



In our description of our fourth dimension, we imagined taking the dimension below and conceiving it up as a single point.

The fourth dimension is a line which can join the universe as it was one minute ago to the universe as it is right now.

Or in the biggest picture possible, we can say that the fourth dimension is a line which joins the Big Bang to one of the possible endings of our universe.

Now as we enter the seventh dimension, we are about to imagine a line which treats the entire six dimensions as if it were a single point.

To do that, we have to imagine all the possible time lines which could have started from our Big Bang, joined to all the possible endings for our universe, a concept which we often refer to as infinity and treat them all as a single point.

So for us, a point in the seventh dimension would be infinity, all possible time lines which could have or will have occurred from our Big Bang.

When we describe infinity as being a point in the seventh dimension, we are only imagining part of the picture.

If we draw a seventh dimensional, we need to be able to imagine what a different point in the seventh dimension is going to be, because that's what our line is going to be joined to.

But how can there be anything more than infinity?

The answer, is there can be other completely different infinities created through initial conditions which are different from our own Big Bang.

Different initial conditions will create different universes where the basic physical laws such as gravity or the speed of light are not the same as ours.

And the resulting branching time line from that universe beginning to all possible endings, will create an infinity which is completely separated from the one which is associated our own universe.

So the line we draw in the seventh dimension,will join one of those infinities to another.

And as bar as going to the magnitude of what we are exploring here might be, if we are to branch off the seventh dimensional line to draw a line to yet another infinity, we've then be entering the eight dimension.

As we have explored already, we can jump from one point from any dimension to another, simply by folding it in the dimension above.

If our ant on the newspaper is a two dimensional flatlander, then folding its two dimensional world through the third dimension would allow it to magically disappear from one location and appear at a different one.

As we are now imagining the ninth dimension, the same rules will apply.

If we're to be able to simultaneously jump from one eight dimensional line to another, it would be because we're able to fold through the ninth dimension.

Before we discuss the first dimension, we could say that we first started out with dimension zero, which is the geometrical concept of a point.

A point indicates a location in a system, and each point is of undetermined size.

The first dimension then takes two of these points and joins them with a line.

When we imagine the fourth dimension, it was as if we're treating the entirely of the three dimensional space in a particular state as a single point and drawing a fourth dimensional line to another point representing space as if it is in a different state.

We often refer to the line that we have just drawn as time.

And in the seventh dimension, we treated all the possible time lines which could be generated from our Big Bang as if this is a single point and imagine drawing a line to a point representing all the possible time lines for a completely different universe.

Now, as we enter the tenth dimension, we have to imagine all the possible branches for all the possible time lines of all the possible universes and treat that as a single point in the tenth dimension.

So far so good.

But this is where we hit a roadblock.

If we're going to imagine the tenth dimension as continuing the cycle and being a line, then we are going to have to imagine a different a different point that we can draw that line to.

But there is no place left to go.

By the time we have imagined all the possible time lines for all possible universes as being a single point in the tenth dimension, it appears that our journey is done.

In string theory, physicists tell us that super string vibrating in the tenth dimension are what create the subatomic particles which make up our universe and all of the other possible universes as well.

In other words, all possibilities are contained within the tenth dimension which would appear to be the concept we have just built for ourselves as we imagine the tenth dimension built one upon another.

And you think understanding these ten dimensions as proposed by the string theory is easy?

E8 is a 57 dimensional solid with this group has a whooping 248 dimensions as quoted from US National Science Foundation (NSF).
