Howdy.
Long time no read or post. I've recently shared ramblings of my ideas of the universe further with a friend, and been ruminating on how poorly I phrased them.
Thought I'd share here just in case anyone else had similar or perhaps wanted clarifications.
To start... the 11 dimensions. The first 4 familiar. 1 a point. 2 a line. 3 makes 3d space. Simple. 4th, change along time. We experience it one way, but both ways exist. The 5th dimension relies on another "universe" outside our own, and that has its own 4, and the linear distance between them belies the 5th. 2 universes, a line of distance between them. Simple, but ramifications complex. Even without more, the space between them hard to imagine as flat. The 6th, the depth and width between them. The 7th, difference in time between. Now add another. The 8th, line between, and among, forcing a 3rd between. But time between both 1, 2 and 3 universes cannot be the same. That's the 9th.
9 dimensions, basically just 3x3. Simple but still vast. 2 more? How? Adding in any additional universes doesn't increase dimensions, only changes between them. Past, and future. Them being stagnant doesn't allow them, but allowing them to interact does. Bingo bamo.
Who cares. Doesn't matter really. Point is to make the idea exist. Let's take it further, but simpler. Skyrim, the videogame, exists. Separately. Not a universe perse, but something that exists here... now... within ours. It has rules, logic, and it cannot be argued it's not there.
What does it look like to interact with it? Surely the npc and world are binary code, 1, 0, and math. Still, complex and intertwined. We can change it, interact, play the game. We can also mod it, add things, shift and change it. All without care or understanding of the npc or world. The logic just changes. The rules change, or are added or deleted. What would even that feel like, were skrim or its inhabitants able to feel? Clearly they wouldn't never see a mouse, or a file, or have the ability to know their world changed... being "sentient" and gate we hold for humans and our super cool ability to know what happens amongst our world, understanding its rules and reality very different. How would they know or understand the "alien" or player changing anything outside their known rules? We're they to catch a glimpse or idea of something surely it wouldn't be some mega fauna clamoring at a mouse, changing files which they knew not existed, or like a big fat hand or guy shaped dude coming to probe them or do things.
Already past insanity ideas. What if similar were true amongst our world? What if we were a game... a simulation... a lower portion of a larger ecosystem? Microscopic cells, to electrons further down, to black holes above, to new dimensions higher? What would an "alien" interference look like? How could we expect a green man with a great flashlight to be it?
I don't know anything. I'm pretty crazy. Certificate included. However, I do know another about what i don't know. I know a bit about what i do.
Just more questions... but not as crazy as it seems when you think about it. Aliens are comically known as green dudes with probes and penis shaped probes. True reality allows aliens to be so foreign that its impossible to rule out. Even still... we sometimes know when someone or something comes along thats... different. That reflects something we cannot say, for certain, on how it's supposed to be interpreted.
I know evil exists. I know peace exists. I know violence exists, and eat every day to prove it. I know the rules, both immediate like food and those like society. I know what it takes to survive as is...
The question is what does it take to survive like what is best?
I have ideas. But just more questions.
Who knows? What forces exist to tell me the truth beyond those that wish to continue existing? Can an ideal that exists to persist itself be true if it doesn't allow itself to be extinguished?
I don't know. I don't know anything. I dont.
