Fourth Dimension

First dimension, forwards and backwards, second dimension, left and right, third dimension, up and down. But what about the fourth dimension? Is it time? Is there something else?
In a one dimensional world nothing can move left or right.
In a two dimensional world nothing can move up or down.
In a three dimensional world nothing can move….?
What would movement in the fourth dimension be? The fourth dimension to some people is considered time. Time is a movement that allows other movement. Without time movement in the other dimensions would not be possible. But what if there was another dimension of movement? Let us pretend time is the fifth dimension and the fourth is something else.
In a two dimensional world nothing can move up or down, so a three dimensional object would effetely disappear when moving up or down. Using this logic a four dimensional object would appear invisible when travelling in the forth dimension. The human body is three dimensions are we have eyes that can see two dimensions with depth to allow semi three dimensional sight. We cannot see all three dimensions, what if two dimensional objects can only see one dimensions. Using this logic we can presume that a four dimensional object with visual sight can see three dimensions.

Four one dimensional lines linked together form a two dimensional object as in a square. Six squares linked together form a three dimensional cube. Again using this logic what would happen if cubes formed together? The answer has been named on Wikipedia and Teamikaria. The answer on Wikipedia was Tesseract and means an eight cell cube. The answer on Teamikaria was a cubinder. Some of these shapes are pretty scary such as the Duocylinder when seen rotating. Is this because they are impossible or just impossible in our world?

Shadows from a two dimensional object are a line or a one dimensional object. Shadows from a three dimensional object are two dimensional. Again using this logic it would a safe to presume that a four dimensional object would project a three dimensional shadow.

All the above is just ideas to think about. What if there is another dimension and we just cannot see it or sense it. Our three dimensional objects cannot sense a fourth dimension because they just are not made to sense it. What if we learned to travel into the fourth dimension would we just disappear?

In my opinion the fourth dimension is the inside and outside. But of a fourth dimensional object. What if we could travel in and out of our world? Think of a line then give that line another line crossing into it. That line is not a cross. That is now two dimensions now move a line up and down from it. The line is now three dimensions. Now draw another line through the inside and out the other side. The result cannot be achieved. The idea is that if something could go inside and outside we could not see that object travelling inside or outside just know it had. I do not understand it myself and it is my opinion.

A theory of the beginning

This came to me over the last few years in bits and pieces and seems to fit together. I have always had some weird thought that knowing the past is one step towards knowing the future. That past cognition is as good as post cognition. The following is what I came up with over time.

In the beginning there was an end. Although seemingly impossible there was an end. The end was caused by man. The human race kept expanding and expanding in this universe. They discovered a way to create another world. The human race discovered a way to play god and to create a fully living world. The world and worlds they created had fully populated humans living and breathing. They discovered a way for them to go into these worlds. Out of the world they was god in the world they was just a normal person. The human race was able to move into these worlds at the time of the destruction of the universe. The problem with this was that if their universe ended the world they hid inside would also end. So they started to create another universe from within this world that they had created. This universe was created and that universe grew to become the one your in now. This universe is the universe that will end. The loop goes on and on and on. But if at the very start there is a universe about to end then surely like dominos they will all start to kill them all off? The answer is that it is what has caused this universe. For we will not create this universe we will create the reason and the cause. This universe started with a bang and the bang was caused by us and the end of last universe. We cannot create ourselves but our creation will create us.

So what does this mean and how is this possible. There are a few things that can cause problems. One is that for this theory to work time is looping and not linearly. If time is linearly and is looping then time is set. Time has a set line that will repeat forever. So what about religion? It is not to say religion is wrong as and religion is still possible. If changes are slightly made in this theory such as they managed to leave a message in the universe saying it was created and the messiah will take us to the new world. This story still works. What if we are the new world? What if we are where the prophet will take us? What if the savour of mankind is just a normal person and will create this world that we will go to. Is there a god? Well yes but god is anyone who creates the world.

What is reality? Reality is the loop. The meaning of life is to live in the loop and to make it work. Is there free will? There is free will but only to stay in the loop. For the end has been set as was the beginning but this does not mean the middle has been. Ever had that feeling you were hear before? Déjà vu is the feeling you have been here before. What if the reason for déjà vu is because you have lived this moment before? This theory explains the feeling of us not being in the real world as well as having past lives. What if we can change some things but unlimitedly everything is set. There are points in time that will forever happen, JFK getting shot or 9/11 etc. What if these moments are fixed but your life is not

Hearing Voices

I have never thought about hearing voices before and do not hear voices but some people are meant to be hearing them. The only people we hear about that hear voices are those that hear them and are called mad. What if the voices are telling us good things? I really don’t know much about people that hear voices but my understanding is that it is viewed as an auditory hallucination. The causes are normally put down to mental health and the person is given drugs to try and take away the voices.

What if there people who are hearing these voices but the voices are telling them good things? What if they are helping them out in their life? Why is no one admitting to hearing voices that are helping them? If there are people who are hearing voices and gaining from the ability there is the question of where do the voices come from?

There are lots of reasons why people could be hearing voices and here are just some. The voices are false or the voices are real. If the voices are false then they are likely to come from mental health problems. The causes in mental health are beyond point of this theory. What about the other causes? What if they are really hearing voices in their head?

If people really are hearing voices in their head, it needs to be explained as to why they are. Where are these voices coming from? Here are a few ideas, the mind has split into two and the voices they are hearing are their subconscious mind talking to them, or they are hearing voices of objects which have some how managed to get access to their mind, or the person is hearing peoples thoughts, or they are hearing their concise mind of someone in another universe.

If the conscious mind is hearing voices from the subconscious mind then why is it and for what purpose? Is the subconscious able to detect or sense stuff that the conscious mind cannot? If objects have some life force or some unknown present memory etc, could they be behind the voices that people hear? What if people are hearing other people’s thoughts? Could that be possible? Do the people know their thoughts are being heard?

What if people are gaining access to voices in another universe? What if the voices they hear are those of their conscious double? What if the voices are the start and can develop into visual sights into other worlds? If voices are the start and next they turn into windows to other worlds, could this mean that the anti psychotic drugs people take to get rid of the voices be bad? If it is possible to gain access to another universe is it really that easy? The reason may never been known but if you hear voices what do they say?

I should say that I do not recommend anyone stopping the use of anti psychotic drugs in the hope of gaining access to other words. Although asking a doctor if it is safe to come off anti psychotic drugs because you feel you can access other worlds if you do, may just get you more drugs…

Post-cognition or retrocognition

Staying with the subject extra human abilities that was talked about in “If humans could fly”, this theory talks about another ability. What if humans could see into the past! This of course is nothing to write about, humans have memory, humans can see the past and humans have been able to do this for a long time if not forever. So what makes this gift any good? Seeing into the future would be much better.

Seeing the future has problems which could cause paradoxes such as, if one saw their own death was going to happen in the house they currently lived in, they would move? If they moved they would not be in that house to die in and the precognitive image was wrong. It also relies on everything following some kind of set of actions.

So what is the use of post-cognition? Post-cognition has the ability to see what has happened. This is much larger than the memory of the person. This is the ability to be able to see past lives, the past of other people, and the past of objects and the past of locations.

This is not free of problems though, confabulation is the invention of memories in the mind. This is a leading problem science has with post-cognition. Confabulation is the inability to tell between genuine or false memories. Someone with apparent post-cognitive abilities may only be suffering from confabulated memories.

There are a few ways post-cognition could work some are more insane then others. Everything has memory, if everything in this world had memory of some sort then objects such as a pen would remember where it had been and who had used/made it. Location memory, if locations have memory such as rooms it might explain how people can know the way around a building they have never been to before. The last theory, multi-verse what if post-cognition would be available when another universe that was currently behind the current universe was close enough for one to peek into it. This would allow one to see the past or a past. The past that is seen may not be the real past of the current universe and as such may be viewed as confabulation.

If humans could fly

Now it is assumed that humans in this reality do not have what it takes to fly without the aid of some machine. But what if humans did have the ability to fly? What if humans could just jump up and fly away.

Humans do not have wings. Most things that can fly in nature has wings, even a lot of man made flying machines have wings. Humans not having wings do give some level of problem for humans flying. So how would humans fly if they do not have wings? In dreams and fiction humans can fly. Superman can fly and although not human does have the physical appearance of a human, i.e. no wings. However superman is alien which the ability of flight is not explained. Although there are theories to how superman can fly, such as, magic, supernatural ability, anti-gravitate and riding magnetic fields. The first theory magic, superman could be using some kind of magical power of levitation to fly, this would enable him to be able to fly as well as be able to walk and run. The second theory of supernatural ability would be very much like magic, in that he would have an ability to fly when he wanted to. Anti-gravitation cannot be the answer because there is no gravity in space and superman is seen flying in space. The last riding magnetic fields could be the answer but would be very much like the supernatural ability, in that he would have an ability to ride them. This does not really answer how superman can fly but has shown us ideas to how humans may be able to.

If humans could gain the ability to reverse gravity or create an upward fiction humans could fly. How this would happen is unknown but if humans could master gravity then they could fly at will. Let us assume humans gain the ability to fly and stop trying to explain how it could work. The truth is humans have not displayed any means of flying and science would say they cannot anyway.

So humans learn to fly, how fast can they go? G-force is the acceleration experienced when something goes fast. Humans appear to black out and can even die from g-force. This may not be a problem though; if humans can gain the ability to fly they may also gain the ability to reduce the fiction of the air around them and as such lower the g-force. If this is the case would it be fair to say the humans could fly very fast? There would not be any power needed or muscle movement and as such nothing to delay the travel. The whole earth is only around 25,000 miles around if humans could travel 5000 miles pre hour they could go around the globe in 4 hours. What about travelling even faster than that? I am not talking about the speed of light as that is very fast around 300,000,000 miles a second. But it is possible if humans can over come the two limits, flight and g force.

What about water? If a human is underwater a human uses their muscles to swim. If a human can fly it is safe to assume they can fly underwater and as such not need to use their muscles to swim. This would mean humans could move through water very quickly and fly out of it when required.

This theory is going to be listed under science fiction as although it is an interesting idea it is more likely not to happen. The idea of humans gaining more abilities is very interesting and has been featured in television shows such as the USA show Heroes. If humans could gain this ability what other abilities could humans gain? Precognition or even post-cognition, not that post-cognition would be of any real help but the ability to see what has happened would be an interesting ability. Flight is just one of many abilities humans could gain.

TTTP7 Revisit ones own timeline

This theory is very much like the last theory in that the events of the future are not set and can be changed.

This theory assumes one will be able to gain an ability to re enter past events and change their own actions. This theory is used in the movie series The Butterfly Effect. This theory in my opinion is the most damaging one and could cause the most stress and depression to the traveller. The traveller would most likely have a gift to re-enter past memories or a device of some sort to travel back in time in which the traveller would take over control of their past self. This does mean no one will be able to time travel to before they are born, or maybe they can but only just before as seen at the end of the director’s cut of The Butterfly Effect (2004). The traveller would most likely make a mistake the first time travelling and would not know about it till their return. Any changes to the ones past such as delaying an event little longer, such as the event that is most likely to happen when the future self takes a hold of the past self.

An example, a time traveller wants to relive his 18th birthday party. He goes back to when he was 18, the first moment when he takes control over his past self is likely to cause a delay or disturbance to his past self’s current actions. The past self is currently running a bath in the next room. The future self unaware (unless memory of current events is known) and takes control over his earlier self. Amazed by his actions the future self looks out the window thinks about the car his family used to have, the people who lived down his road, etc. All this time the bath is running and it overflows. Now that bath never overflowed and the damage was never done in the time line the future self was from. The events after the bath will also be delayed or will no longer happen. Maybe he was going to get a bus after his bath that does not happen anymore. All these problems cause more problems and those problems cause problems and so on. The point is, once a traveller travels back using this theory it is unlikely he will get back to the time he knew.

There are other possibilities though; the traveller may gain full memory of current actions when they time travel back, the traveller’s changes may not take effect or what is meant to happen is meant to happen and the changes the traveller makes only causes events to happen differently. If the traveller gains full memory of the actions he was currently doing at the time he takes control, he may just act out those events as they happened in the same way, with or without having the knowledge of the future. If the traveller can not make any changes or damage to the future then the traveller can have as much fun as they would like. Think about chances one would have, maybe they turned down a date with someone in school or maybe they missed the last words of their loved ones. They could just go back and relive it. More so would be the ability to relive ones own best moments of life.


On the other hand the changes one makes in the past might just cause events to change but most major effects stay. For example, a time traveller prevented his earlier self from meeting his future boss somewhere but this does not cause any major problems as he may just meet him somewhere else.

But there is one other possibility that we have not talked about, what if a time traveller goes back in time and causes changes that cause his life to end? This would in my opinion not cause a paradox as using this logic the time line is flexible. The traveller would just die having caused his death in an unknown time line. As the time traveller would be creating changes that effect everything the actions would be unknown. It would be the same as someone bumping someone in the street if that person had not bumped into that person the actions would be different. We do not know what would happen if those two people did not bump into each other only that they would not have bumped into each other. The actions that are played out that are caused by the traveller’s actions are just changes that could have happened. The actions may be very unlikely but still actions that could have happened.

A summary as this seems to be long. A time traveller can time travel to any point in his or her life, they are able to change the events of that time which may or may not cause ripple effects through time. The traveller is directly changing the time line and as such does not affect paradoxes. The example of going back in time and killing ones father before one is born is not valid because travellers can only re-enter their own time line. If a traveller causes their own death before they travelled, the traveller could just kill himself.

The next theory will use a similar logic as this one but is very much based around one’s family tree and how they could be connected. The next theory is called TTTP8 Revisit ones own ancestry.

The problem I feel with Philosophy

I feel that philosophy is less about theories and more about people and what they have wrote. I like philosophy because I like the idea of creating ideas that could work even if they are very unlikely. Science Fiction I don’t really feel like calling my theories. If I cannot call my theories science fiction then what do I call them? I thought just theories, till someone told me it was philosophy. Now when ever I talk to people about philosophy they bore me with loads of peoples names and then ask me if I read something by someone. At that point I am so bored by the amount of people and books I heard, I forget to ask them about any THEORIES FROM THESE PEOPLE!

So I thought I would look up philosophy courses. I found a few and one had listed that there was an exam. This is where my idea of philosophy changed. There are exams and most of the questions are religion based. Not just religion but religions that are far unheard of by me. Some examples, “Explain nature and types of Hetvabhas according to Nyaya” or “What is the Integral Yoga? Explain.” As seen these questions are boring and even Google struggles to answer the first one then tells me it is part of the Hindu philosophy. The second is a religion I had never heard of.

This makes philosophy very much like the history of philosophy, and LESS ABOUT philosophy. I was once told that theology is more about creating theories about what happened. This well is a little wrong theology is about creating theories on God, and religion. Theology is more religious studies as it is not solely about creating theories but researching other people’s theories.

So why is philosophy research and not thinking? There are three problems with thinking up random theories. If you get a theory that has already been thought up then people will say you are copying them. There are also other problems such as, how to you teach someone to tell you about a theory they have? Or how do you prevent copying. The answer really is you teach them something. If you teach something then you need something to teach. Therefore it is easier to teach philosophy then to just get everyone to think up random theories. There is also the need for history and research of philosophy. If people did not read about them the great philosophers would not be remembered. I do not think that is wrong but do feel people should be less tested on other peoples theories. I feel if someone wants to know about a theory then they will read about it. Telling people loads and loads about a theory that does not interest them is not helping. In other words, people should learn about similar theories.
