Where & what is the 5th dimension?

When you say "someone," you mean Einstein, right?

There's also some chatter that E=mc^2 is incomplete due to the time constraint not being constant.
As speeds approach light speed, time slows down.
Also the spin of an electron, upwards/downwards, has an impact on time as well.

Some researchers have been working in the Maldives for the past several years.
Their work has finally been compiled and is currently under peer review.
Many who have seen the work says it will take 10+ years just to understand this stuff.
Google Malcom Bendall.

a 5th dimension mathematically isnt hard to understand. we do math assuming N number of dimensions pretty frequently. for example a DOE with dozens of factors means we are dealing with dozens of dimensions, mathematically. the vector space of which and its corresponding matrixes are just as real as any other numerically qualifiable factor.

its just linear algebra at the end of the day. no magic there either.




like did you guys not go to college? this stuff is all stuff i learned before i could legally drink. dimensionality, eigen vectors, vector spaces etc, all just a junior level math class in college. and i went to a public school. JFC.

look i can write a 5th dimensional vector right here:

[4, 2, -1, .6423, 4/5]

*magic*

i can write an n dimensional vector right here:

[N1, N2, N3, ..... Nn]

*magic*

A balloon is a 2 dimensional universe wrapped around a third dimension. We are one step further along. 5th dimensions and above only exist in a few esoteric cosmologies.

Ah, right, I'd forgotten about this other definition. But I'm not crazy, Time is frequently referred to as the 4th dimension.

This is how I've seen the fourth spatial dimension described before.

Not sure, but they were smart enough to hire Hal Blaine and Joe Osborn to play on their recordings.

These guys know where it is.

The worst is when Heisenberg is trying to look for his socks and someone tells him his sox are still sitting exactly where he last left them.

Time is pretty dang spacial. A meter is about 3 nanoseconds.

Look up how time is represented in the metric tensor. Time is warped exactly like space. These conventions aren't from the 60s. Time is a dimension like any other because the math works.
