This is the most valid post in the entire thread. This is the answer to any sort of post on the NGBBS.

this is why I hate deep physics quantum philospy stuff

no one fucking understands it and it doesnt help us in anyway

I say this because im doing physics but all I understand is momentum and magnets so fuck you.

is it possible that the phenomena of thought is itself a penis and also is it not a similar if not the same penis as the environment of electrical impulses we designed as buttplugs?

I don't know if this is on topic, but I'd like to throw in [if it hasn't already been mentioned] about deja vu. We can see things before they happen, which seems to indicate that it is possible that further phenomena exist.

I'm going to go a step beyond everyone who says that this is theoretically possible but probably isn't true by saying it isn't theoretically possible and definitely isn't true.

There I did it.

I watched this video where they talked about how they have scans of fetus' in motion and they call them 4D scans.

So I guess maybe you could say real time movement is the 4th dimension or whatever.

I don't really know how thought could be a dimension but whatever....

Okay, here's what I interpret that to mean: Are thoughts their own dimension, and are the electrical impulses found in computers also in that dimension?

My answer: That makes no sense and you're stupid.

::After introducing yourself like this, you then proposed a bullshit theory with no proof, evidence, or resemblance of a thought put into it, and you expect me to take you seriously.

what i expect is that you give it some thought. give me facts why its not possible and then challenge yourself to a scenario in which it is possible.

::I don't really know how thought could be a dimension but whatever....

to me it seems as valid a thought as accepting how time can be a dimension.

::Okay, here's what I interpret that to mean: Are thoughts their own dimension, and are the electrical impulses found in computers also in that dimension?

::My answer: That makes no sense and you're stupid.

its only as stupid as completely disregarding it as a possibility. what makes a signal from my brain to my eyes any different from a signal from a CPU to to a webcam? they both use electrical data dont they? isnt the only thing that defines them is the "electric language" used?

For as long as I can remember I've almost always heard of time being referred to as the fourth dimension. but i suppose to call it a dimension can open the door to all kinds of phenomena being called a dimension.

Wow, that's deep man.

not at all, man. what I expect is either a pro/con/maybe as to why it could be or cant be or even just your 2 cents on the matter. its easier to answer a question as a group than it is to come up with answers by yourself all the time.

Actually from what I recall in my Earth/Space class (its most likely innaccuarte or slighty incorrect but reasearch could clarify it) is that as an object moves fast enough is actually length descreases and scientists believe that length transfers into time which then slows it down. So in other words time is the 4th dimension because as far as they know the ratio to how length decreases and time increases(which slows it down) is always the same.

so as an object approaches the speed of light does it lose its dimensions of width, height and depth?

so then would it be more accurate to say that consiousness exists at different energy levels of existing dimensions? this discussion all came about from a theory i heard about in the news of maybe our 3 or 4 dimensional universe was originally a 1 dimensional line.

From what you've been saying, not just in this latest post, you seem to have the notion of dimensions of space time confused with the notion of dimensions in science fiction movies.

It's mathematics. You don't need to jump through a worm hole to get from the x axis to the y axis, the y axis to the z axis, the z axis to the 't' axis, or any other combination thereof.

And time is an axis due to its nature, not due simply to it existing as a phenomena. You're arguing an abstraction fallacy. For example: If I can say that apples have seeds, then I can say that all foods have seeds.

For the most part, you seem to be mashing words together. Hell, some of your sentences aren't even grammatically cogent, let alone semantically.

Is it really unclear to you whether an electrical charge can be understood mathematically? Because that's actually one of the questions you asked, though in terms you clearly thought sounded deeper.

I hope to god you haven't taken 6th grade science, or that you're trolling.

is it really so hard to believe any of this is up for questioning? I just want a greater understanding of concepts that I dont understand. You seem to have an understanding of dimensions so please if possible provide a basic description of what a dimension is. is it something that fundamentally affects all things? why is the argument that time may not be a dimension a valid argument? I understand why you're saying im jumping to some incorrect conclusions but I believe the best way to determine what something is is to figure out what it's not. when you rule out the wrong you're closer to what is right. this isnt an english class its a discussion. if you dont understand what im getting at just say so. that way i can attempt a clarification. please dont bash an attempt to understand a concept by insulting intelligence.

i didn't say they are identical. just analogous, and a failed attempt at causing more confusion by posting something completely random.

and did someone just say the term 'fourth dimension'? in special relativity, the position vector can be written as (ict,x,y,z), but still time is time and space is space. they are not the same. the four dimensional space in special relativity is NOT an ordinary euclidean space, but a minkowski space. general relativity also has four dimensions consist of three spacial components and one time component, except it is meaningless to talk about proper distance between two places as the metric depends on time component as well.

more confusion.

I am just a random user from a set of measure zero and thus am negligible.

Jesus christ!! someone finally gives me a term i can go look up and explore for myself!! lol i'm trying to go along and confirm all these things as i go along haha anyway can't you apply euclidean and minkowski concepts to video games and to a much lesser extent your own thoughts? for example lets pretend you are building a video game game couldnt you use these 4D coordinates to map a graphical particle (particle was at position (22, 14, 105) at time (5))? and lets say some radical situation came up where your dreams were a hyper reality like when someone is having a vivid dream or hallucinating and you could make accurate measurements in this hyper reality. the fake imaginary environments would provide an unstable euclidean space that exists between 4D events (fall asleep and wake up)

If you define 'dimension' as related to physics, then no and it's just stupid.

for example lets pretend you are building a video game game couldnt you use these 4D coordinates to map a graphical particle (particle was at position (22, 14, 105) at time (5))?:

well. suppose your particle is lagrangian. you can describe its position in seven seperate variables, namely, t, (q_x, q_y, q_z), (v_x, v_y, v_z), where t=time, q_i=position along ith axis, v_i=velocities.

if your particle is moving through a magnetic field, it may produces radiation so that its motion is also dependent on its accelration.

what am i doing?
