We all learned to experience the world in 3D and adding time in 4D. Some physics theories are relating to 11 Dimensions as a good number and some go even further than that.
When you mention higher dimensions people often ask how they can be understood or visualized when all we can relate to is X Y and Z over time.
I saw some explanation attempts such as that they are not experienced because they are really really small or that every dimension is a way to manipulate in a non-linear way a lower dimension (for example the 5th dimension lets us jump around on the 4th dimension in the same way that a folded 3D paper can allow us to connect 2 2D points that are not next to each other).
I would like to try and suggest some additional dimensions that would make sense as properties of a logical point in an n’ dimension universe.
As we give a location of a point in X Y and Z what other possible parameters I could think about that might constitute additional dimensions?
Here is my brain dump list:
- Its actual existence
- Its spin
- Its symmetric position (what if a point is flipped or mirrored or both)
- Its likelihood to be there at any given time
- The number of other physical points in the same exact position
- The order in stack of all points in the same exact position
- Its velocity
- Its direction
- Its temperature
- Its magnetic property
- Its mass
- Its color
- Its opacity
- Its clustering with other points (an individual point is different than a line or a circle point)
- Its consistency (how predictive is it as it changes location in the n dimension space)
- Its density
- Its contrast from surrounding points in each one of the n dimensions (how odd is it?)
