Understanding the True Nature of Dimensions

Türkçe versiyonu için tıklayınız.

Below you will find a part of the e-mail conversation between me and Mr. Grant. We have occasionally met with one e-mail that I wrote him on another subject and started a conversation about many different topics. He guided me on these different topics and at one point I came up with an idea about a new way of understanding the nature of dimensions which you may find enlightening. It promises to marginally change your view on the universe if could be understood well. It doesn’t require deep knowledge about science and all you need to know is the basic concepts like time, movement, speed, acceleration and as the most difficult one; time dilation. It only requires a careful reading and lots of imagination. Hope you will enjoy and it will help you to gain a new level of understanding.

Dear Mr. Grant,

Hope you are fine and your job is progressing well.

I told you in my last e-mail that I will write you in case if I find something and I guess I did find something remarkable. I don’t even know how to start because my thoughts are still developing rapidly and sometimes when I turn back to see how did I reach there, I am realizing that I already forget them. It takes some time to remember, so I decided to write you to explain how I reached to these thoughts even if they are not finalized. This way I can have them written somewhere, as well.

It is better to start explaining from the beginning so you can also follow the progress of my understanding. It might be a little boring at the beginning since all these things are pretty simple concepts for you but at the end they will lead into some amazing concepts. Therefore, please be patient during the development of the story, things will escalate quickly. At least it has happened so for me.

After receiving the latest files from you, I went through some of them and watched, read many different things in internet. One thing I have noticed which was common among many different subjects was the acceleration. In Thomas Townsend Browns inventions, pulsed high voltage electricity had to be used. When I thought about what is so significant about the voltage to be pulsed, I understood that continuously stopping and starting the voltage causes the charge to accelerate for a brief moment of time when it is started. Stopping and starting it frequently was making this effect to be continous.This was the only explanation for me about why the voltage should be pulsed. Then when I was reading about the electromagnetic waves, I learnt that the charged particles always radiate electromagnetic waves when they are accelerated. And when I was watching Eric Dollard videos about Tesla, I heard from him that Tesla has invented another form of electricity different than AC and DC. In one of Tesla’s demonstrations in Europe, he has showed that when he was letting the current of this new type of electricity to run through himself, Tesla has started to glow. Then Dollard has showed the wave form graph of this new type of electricity which was to me pretty similar to the start up graph of a generator. So, I thought that Tesla must have invented a current which is produced in a way to use the accelerating charges. DC graph is a continues line which says it is flowing with a constant speed and AC graph is a sin wave which is accelerating front and back so any effect we expect from acceleration must be cancelled. I guess Tesla has invented a type of electricity similar to the pulsed high voltage direct current which has some kind of progressive acceleration during the flow of charged particles. Probably, during that demonstration, Tesla has used a very high voltage-low current version of this electricity which doesn’t harm him and what glowed were the accelerating electrons running through his body emitting electromagnetic waves since they are in an accelerating form. Using this kind of electricity with Townsend Brown’s inventions will also probably give better results than the one with pulsed high voltage electricity.  

Then I started to think about what can be so special about acceleration. I remembered the basic graphs which they have showed in our high school physics class namely, x-t, v-t, a-t graphs. There was a relation between them. Nothing was happening until you introduce the speed into these graphs. When you introduce speed to x-t graph, it shows itself in v-t graph as a line and when you introduce acceleration to x-t graph it shows itself in v-t and a-t graphs both. Then I thought our about 3d universe without speed as in the x-t graph without speed. Nothing was moving. There was no concept of time and there was one frame of picture for the whole universe which never changes. Then I have introduced speed into that universe. Everything has started to move. Concept of time has emerged. There wasn’t one picture frame anymore; instead, there was a universe, which was consists of infinite number of photo frames; the universe that we know; space-time. Then I had that very simple and enlightening, remarkable thought. If introducing speed into 3 dimensional static universe is causing our space-time to emerge, then introducing acceleration to our space-time shall cause space-time + 1 dimension. (Now looking at this thought after the things that I have realized, it is not the correct way to describe the situation. I will explain why at the end of this mail. But this thought has leaded me to realize all the other things so I preferred to explain you exactly as I understood that time). In previous sentence I have described that new dimension as space-time + 1 dimension because I didn’t know how I should call this new dimension and how it should be imagined. But it was telling me that whatever is speed doing to 3 dimensional static universe, acceleration shall be doing the same thing to our space-time. If that’s true; acceleration should also let us to move in that new dimension like speed is letting us to move in 3d static universe. This thought also leaded me to progress one more step. But the problem was how could I visualize that?

To understand what will happen, I have tried to show this on graphs. I have realized that I have to take time dilation into account in order to perfectly describe the situation (I forgot now, how did I realize that. Since I wrote this mail to a person who already knows about it, this explanation is not in the original of this mail. From now on, when I need such and explanation, I will add a not starting with PMN: meaning Post Mail Note. PMN: Time dilation is an effect which Einstein has introduced us with his Relativity Theory. It basicly says time flows relatively different for the objects move with different speeds relative to each other. According to this effect, time flows normal for an object which travels with a higher speed but another object which has a lower speed compare to it, observers faster objects time to flow slower. Because this effect can only be noticed at very high velocities, we don't see it in our daily lifes. Same thing also happens within gravitational fields. Time for an object inside a strong gravitational fields passes slower than the ones outside of it. The part which concerns this post is the velocity related time dilation. This effect has been one of the main subjects of the very recent movie Interstellar, as well.) And when I have tried to find a way to accurately show this, I found and learnt what Minkowski diagrams are. I had all I needed in it. Time dilation was already shown as the curves in that diagram. So I drew there an object which is going with one speed, then accelerating and reaching to a new speed.

So we have an object indicated with red color. Let’s call it object A. It starts to move with 0,2c on the green t’ line and on 3^rd time curve it starts to accelerate to 0,7c speed (to the line indicated with purple as t’’.  (As a note; I love to write the name of these lines as variants of t as dilated time axes as well as speeds like 0,7c. It is very nicely telling us that the speed is actually the time or the cause of time.)) If we come back to my previous conclusion; “acceleration should also let us to move in that new dimension like speed is letting us to move in 3 dimensional static universe” In above diagram we can clearly see where the acceleration lets us to move between. Between the 0,2c and 0,7c speed lines. But these lines also belong to dilated time frame axes! There our new dimension stands. It is consist of new dilated time axes or let’s say different time frames. With acceleration, we are able to travel between different time frames where our new dimension is!!

This has blown my mind. I have tried to digest that for a while. Could it be that simple? I have tried to find clues of this idea in internet. I have found some theories like Kaluza-Klein Theory but the sources that I found in internet were too technical for me to understand. And as soon as I understood what new dimension is, I have realized that the same logic can be applied to create higher dimensions but the theories that I have found in internet were not talking about more dimensions, they were only interested in introducing 1 extra dimension to the Relativity Theory. So I have guessed that this wasn’t the same thing. Then I have decided to play with the diagram on the extreme cases as below:

So I have imagined a case, where our object A was subjected to an extreme level of acceleration while it was travelling on t’ line at the 3^rd time curve. The acceleration rate was so high that it travels to t’’ line on the same 3^rd time curve. (Now I strongly believe that there is a universal acceleration limit since we have a universal limit on the speed and this much of acceleration will probably never be possible for the objects with mass but as a thought experiment, let’s think it is possible for a while). What will be the consequence of such an acceleration level? Since it is moving on the 3^rd time curve, our stationary objects (objects which exist on the t time frame) will experience an infinite amount of time pass while our A object accelerates. To our existing knowledge (or at least to my limited knowledge) this case is only possible for the objects travelling with the speed of light (where they travel on the v=c line of the graph, in other words; on the event horizon). But the case above is telling us it is possible for the objects inside the event horizon as well, with the condition if they have enough acceleration. Even if this acceleration happens for a brief moment of time, our object with that acceleration (to other stationary objects) will seem to travel for an infinite amount of time, travelling to enormous distances at a blink of time. Since we know that speed has a limit in our universe, travelling a distance greater than what light speed allows in a certain amount of time is not possible. Therefore, I believe this case will not be possible for our object. But even anywhere near below that acceleration level should cause amazing things. Probably for human beings, it will never be possible to experience this with their body or everyday objects. Pilots are fading away after being exposed to acceleration rates like 10g for a short time and what I am talking about is way above this level. It will also take enormous levels of energy to take any object to that acceleration level but we still have chance to observe what happens at these levels of acceleration. Electrically charged particles can be subjected to very high levels of acceleration. Or do we experience this already? Can electromagnetic radiation be a result of such process? Or do we experience these effects during Townsend Brown inventions or in Tesla’s 3^rd type of electricity due to this process? These are too technical for me to think about and cannot figure it out completely. But definitely there are some things worth searching for.

This was the summary of my findings till this evening. But during 2 hours drive from our weekend trip to home, more things kept coming up at me as big waves of thoughts and I am having hard time to keep things in place. I am feeling that I am able to realize some fundamental concepts in a new way. If these are not already known, I should not forget them since I am pretty sure that they are true and amazing. Let me continue to explain where I am now and maybe I can keep my mind clear and continue to realize more while writing.

After having the ideas above and understanding them better in the last 3 days, I have reached to new concepts by relating with the existing ones many times as I have have explained before. I also tried to find even further concepts as taking my new findings as new anchor points. Like this one; Introducing acceleration into our space time is the way to understand and imagine the next dimension, then it should also be possible to take it one step further; introduce accelerating acceleration to our four dimensional universe and find the next dimension! But there was a problem. I knew what speed was causing in our four dimensional universe; time dilation. And it was my tool which leaded me to find the next dimension. What could be the similar effect of accelerated acceleration in our universe that can lead me to find the next dimension? Time dilation dilation? This was too much for me. I had no way to imagine that thing when I just understood what the 5^th dimension could be. It took Einstein to realize that there is such thing as time dilation and now I expect myself to find a similar feature in a new dimension which I just started to understand. So I gave up hope on finding higher dimensions. But something was disturbing me.

Let’s assume that this way of thinking would lead me to understand higher dimensions. But I am not capable of doing so since I have no equivalence of time dilation effect in higher dimensions. If my logic to find this new dimension is correct then it should also work for creating the dimensions that we already know since we already know all features of them. This way, I could check if my logic is correct and applicable to all dimensions or not.

But what to begin with? How to take 2 dimensional universe and reach to 3 dimensions that we know? 2 dimension is a surface with no thickness of it. Even though such thing doesn't exist in our universe, it is easy to visualize it since it can be imagined as a drawing on the paper. But what could be our tool when we take it to become our 3 dimensional universe? All I know is that the 3rd dimension can be reached by adding an axis perpendicular to our 2 dimensional surface and building up infinite number of surfaces on top of each other so there will be a concept like thickness. Then I have decided to follow the same steps when I applied speed to our static 3 dimensional 1 photo-frame universe. The surface has started to move. Now it has a time concept like our space-time. But it can only move within its 2 dimensional universe. Nothing is happening on a perpendicular axis. Then I have realized that we also have time dilation concept in that universe since we have movement (speed) therefore, time. And it was that moment I have realized that there are infinite number of dilated time frames which exist parallel to each other on different levels of planes and are stacked onto each other creating the concept that we know as thickness. The perpendicular axis which I was searching for was made of different frames of time caused by different speed rates which were located on top of each other. I can’t describe you enough what an enlightening moment it was. Because, it could be applied to 1 (and all) dimension(s), as well. With the same logic, different time frames caused by the time dilation of our 1 dimensional lines could be stacked onto each other creating a 2 dimensional shape. Now our line is no longer consist of only a length but it also has a new concept which we know as width. It became a surface. Time dilation is a feature of speed, carried with it into each environment that it was introduced to, creating infinite number of that environment perpendicular to the environment itself, thus creating a new dimension. From that point on, I don’t have to find a new feature of the higher dimension like time dilation which will lead me to find the next dimension anymore. The same process can be repeated again and again to reach the higher dimensions starting from a point with zero dimension. The process was simple:

0th dimension (point) + movement (speed) = 0th dimension (point) + time= 0th dimension (point) + time + infinite number of dilated time frames caused by different speed rates = 1st dimension (axis)

1st dimension (axis) + movement (speed) = 1st dimension (axis) + time= 1st dimension (axis) + time + infinite number of dilated time frames caused by different speed rates = 2nd dimension (plane)

2nd dimension (plane) + movement (speed) = 2nd dimension (plane) + time= 2nd dimension (plane) + time + infinite number of dilated time frames caused by different speed rates = 3rd dimension (space)

3rd dimension (space) + movement (speed) = 3rd dimension (space) + time= 3rd dimension (space) + time + infinite number of dilated time frames caused by different speed rates = 4th dimension (space-time)

4th dimension (space-time) + movement (speed) = 4th dimension (space-time) + time= 4th dimension (space-time) + time + infinite number of dilated time frames caused by different speed rates = 5th dimension (space time-dilated times frames)

...

Which means; the universe is made of infinite number of dimensions + time (or speed or movement) (PMN: I not that sure about that number of dimensions will be enough after giving it a thought as well as Mr. Grant mentioned in his below reply. Therefore, take this as a result of my quick judgment only). Then why do we perceive 3 dimensions + time? Well, this is a question which I couldn’t figure out yet. (As a footnote;  I have also realized that I was making mistake when I was thinking that I should introduce acceleration to our space time to reach the 5^th dimension. Actually, I was introducing acceleration to 3 dimensional static universe (I did that mistake when I imagined I applied acceleration to the x-t graph. It was actually representing a static universe without any movement in it). Since acceleration means speeding up the speed, I was also introducing speed into a new dimension (space-time) which was a version of 3 dimensional static universe which the speed was already introduced to. So the correct definition should be introducing speed into our space time. Since speed was already introduced into our space time during the previous process, introducing an additional speed to our space time was equal to introducing acceleration to 3 dimensional static universe. But despite this mistake, this kind of thinking leaded me into this which I appreciate very much and wanted to mention.)

After seeing the big picture above, I have also realized where we were mistaking while we think about dimensions of the universe. Just like the ones before Galileo doing the mistake of putting ourselves into the center of the universe, we also put our space-time in the center of dimensions and trying to reach other dimensions over the ones that we can perceive. As can be understood from above, there are no such things as 3 spatial dimensions and time. If we separate time (speed) component from the concept of dimensions, we are left with no spatial dimension at all.

While talking about realizing things, I have just realized one more thing; that I am human. I must go to sleep and wake up in the morning for work. I have mentioned at the beginning that I will continue to write after explaining you the point that I have reached but at 2:30 pm in the morning apparently my brain doesn’t work well and tells me to go to sleep. So I must finish it here and if I can come up with something else, I will share will you later.

Before finishing, I would like to ask you one thing; can you please tell me if any of these things are new to science or not? Because I am really confused. These concepts are pretty sound to me and I am somehow sure that they are certainly correct. But I didn’t hear them before. At least in such way. As you can see, a person like me who has nothing to do with an academic level of science can figure these things out just with the knowledge of simple things like speed, acceleration and time dilation. How come Einstein didn’t come up with this idea for example, since he is the one who found time dilation? Or anybody else who can understand a little bit of relativity within the following more than 100 years of period? If these things are already known, how they are not the base of our science? Why people are still talking about those 11 dimensions and saying that they are needed to explain string theory? I will appreciate a lot if you can tell me your thoughts about my theories and their place in science, if any of them exists.

Hello Mr. Faruk Eren ÇIRACIOĞLU,

Yes, Excellent, Fantastic!

You have walked through the door of greater knowledge and now see things better.
Realize though, there is always more, always another door.
When you reach the peak of the mountain, you see all the other mountains and the valleys between which must be crossed to gain the next mountain peak.
There is no end to the perfection of knowledge!!
But do not let me discourage you to much, sitting on your mountain peak, by forcing you to look at the next valley!  Enjoy your view!

I will just mention, that much of what you speak is known to science, but is indeed not taught nor common knowledge.  It depends entirely on who you are discussing such ideas with.  There are limitations, limits and boundaries in the Universe, and there is no need per say of "infinite dimensions", as I mentioned we have only need of 6, which are mirrored for a total of 12. This is sufficient to achieve a Universe which is by all definitions, Infinite.

What scientists refer to as the 5th dimension, is mass or better called density, so we can have concentration and rarefaction.  So too we need to define the mechanism of solidity, forms and patterns, rhythm, the music, in the Universe.  Your concept of points and movement, progressing to Infinity, is a critical and important foundation, but does not give rise to form and pattern, rhythm, music, to density and other features we see in all parts of the Universe.  It would run-away, out of control, there needs to be constraints, a mixing of things.  There must be other , how would I say "rules" or "laws" which limit, define and control the Universe, and lead to these other features.  Otherwise it would just expand instantly into everything at once, you see?

Most importantly and most often overlooked, never forget to consider where "LIFE ITSELF" fits into your concept of the Universe.

Again, I am very glad you have begun an amazing journey of discovery.  So too be careful, as with any journey, there are dangers and wrong turns.  Too much knowledge can be a dangerous thing, and I myself have gone very far down and well as up, on my own journey, as I unlearned much of what I thought was important and altered my reality and state of mind, to make way for new ideas.  I hope you grasp my meaning.  Many great mathematicians and scientists have gone mad, trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.  There are limits to the mind and what we are capable of at any one point in our lives, we must work towards a goal, step by step, for just like a weight lifter trying to lift to much weight at once, before he is trained and ready, too much weight can fall and crush us.

I am always glad to discuss such concepts though, and it brings me happiness to listen to someone as ecstatic about the knowledge as I once was, and still am today!

Best of luck on your continued journey and I look forward to hearing more of your discoveries.

Thanks,
Grant
