dimensions
OP - February 28, 2012, 11:41 PM

I'm curious about how science makes use of dimensions. Does anyone know stuff about this?

I have a theory that time is actually just another spatial dimension or dimension like space, though due to our 3d nature we perceive it as time. Does anyone have a real handle on how physicists conceptualize dimensions?

Just curious zoomi., are you a theoretical physicist or are you working in that field?? couple of years back I read a book by dr. Lisa randall ., it is fun book to read ..

The whole idea that dimensions are curved or so small we can't see them seems odd to me. I don't see why we assume that, when we can just as easily assume that our perceptions are just defective, and the dimensions are "average" so to speak but there is just a deficiency in our perceptions.

This woman says we have no way to make sense of more than one dimension of time. I wish I knew more about why this was the case. Any physicists here?

and yeezevee, no I'm not smart enough to be a physicist though I do work on metaphysics with a heavy mind towards physics and neuroscience/perception (and the relation between the two).

Specifically, I'm working on the relationship between time and our perceptions of time.

Well we can not see many things with naked eye that doesn't mean we can not imagine things., whatever she is seeing she works her way through Mathematics with certain assumptions/hypothesis

well take some basic physics classes and go for a Ph.D. with her ., she is pretty famous, she is a faculty from Harvard an she gets lots of grants and she loves people from Indian subcontinent

Hmm . what you saying is., you don't want to work but you just want to imaging things.. Off course that is the way every one starts with but then you got to move on to prove your concepts..
