treppid Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Let me first start out by saying that I have never taken a physics class but am intrigued by the topic. With that being said i believe I still have an interesting theory... It can be said that the 4 known dimensions can be represented by a line. With our 3 spatial dimension extending an infinite amount left, right, fowards, back and up down. Our 4th dimension being time, stretching linearly and infinitly into the past and into the future. Now let's consider the dynamic of size to be a dimension and look at this in the same way. A linear with the smallest known measurments of existence (strings) to the largest known measurments of existence (super clusters) as points on this line. With every other measurement from atoms to galaxies also being points on this line. Now let's consider this line is also infinite. Meaning there will always be something smaller and something larger than what we can observe. Remember we could never experience this dimension because we cannot observe this dimension being only a 3 dimension being. Much like a 2d creature cannot observe a 3d world and also much like how we can only experience a portion of the dimension of time we can also only experience a portion of the dimension of size being 3d creatures. What is even more mind blowing... Imagine if this were true. If we could peer into what made up a string. Imagine if a string was nothing more than a strand of viberating super clusters... And if this were just a never ending dynamic of repeated size.... Just peering deeper and deeper and realizing what comprises the smallest building blocks of matter is made up of the largest building blocks. You would lose all concept of space and time viewing the world like this.
mathematic Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Now let's consider this line is also infinite. Meaning there will always be something smaller and something larger than what we can observe. Thhe first sentence is a mathematical truism. The second is a physical interpretation, which may or may not be true.
