2D, 3D, maybe even 4D?

I have an interesting question for all of you science buffs out there. Do you think that deep space offers more than 3D, maybe 4D? Or do you think that it offers less than 3D, maybe 2D?


Personally, i would like to think that maybe objects in deep space would have 4D qualitites. But then there is a side of me that says that it could possible be 2D instead of 3D.

I have no argument to help back any of this up, so i am interested to see what you guys think.

We live in 4D. Time is the fourth dimension.

String theory purports that our universe consists of 11 dimensions.

There really are a lot of dimensions, yeah. People who think we live in a 3D world just don't know what they're talking about.

At the very least, there are 4 dimensions. Space consists of 3, length, width, and depth. Time is, as far as I know, is the fourth. I think that's the very LEAST amount of dimensions that there could be.

Interesting stuff, i had no idea that we lived in a 4D world. Im glad i asked the question then.

MJ, what 11 dimensions does this string theroy talk about?

Don't know if you'll be interested to hear it, but there are now 4D graphics - graphics that change in real time.

The examples I've seen were 3D models of buildings and objects deteriorating over time. Very interesting.

Enjoy!

A GIF is pretty much a 4D graphic. Anything that moves. Without time, there could be no movement that we could see.

Well, most of the stuff I read is now outdated. It advocated a 10 dimensional structure to space-time. There are the three spatial dimensions that we are accustomed too, the time dimension, and then 6 tiny dimensions which form a one of many possible shapes known as a Calabi-Yau structures. I'm not sure what the structure of 7 tiny, curled-up dimensions would be.

Also, if you haven't read it, I strongly reccomend checking out a book called flatland. It's about a fictional race which lives purely in two dimensional space.

According to M-theory, there are 11 dimentions. Our universe exists in a 4 dimentional P-brane of the 11 dimentional space. In theory, other universes exist in different P-branes of varying dimentionality.
