zeon23445 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Perhaps I should be more clear as to what I am asking, besides what the title suggests. Lately i have heard of how particles can become incoherent with other particles in the universe, because they vibrate at different frequencies, and typically when I [myself] think of a vibration i think of a object or a wave transitioning in a normal direction- So when i thought about this I also thought "Is a vibration limited to a 3 Dimensional Space", with my own logic i have come to the answer "no" because I can simulate it in a computer program I make, and as i programmer i think of different situations where a 4D vibration can be utilized in things like Terrain generation.. So my question to this forum is- "Are there particles that are seen as candidates for transitioning from and to 3D-4D spacial areas, and if so- what are their names?"
Nicholas Kang Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 If I recalled correctly, the fourth dimension is time thus space-time is 4D. I think the vibration you mentioned must be string. String theory fits well in 10 dimension but not 4D. So, your question, I think, should be revolving aroung high dimensions but not 3D/4D. You can refer to wikipedia about string theory and ask more about it in this forum. Your question is inspiring me some new questions. Thanks.
Strange Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Lately i have heard of how particles can become incoherent with other particles in the universe I'm not sure what this means. Can you provide a link to where you heard this. when I [myself] think of a vibration i think of a object or a wave transitioning in a normal direction- So when i thought about this I also thought "Is a vibration limited to a 3 Dimensional Space", Not all "vibrations" are necessarily related to movements in space. For example, electromagnetic radiation has a frequency (e.g. radio, light, etc) but that is an oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields not a physical vibration of anything in space. with my own logic i have come to the answer "no" because I can simulate it in a computer program I make, and as i programmer i think of different situations where a 4D vibration can be utilized in things like Terrain generation Are you referring to homogeneous coordinates? Although these use 4 dimensional matrices, they are still representing 3D space. Of course, you can write a program representing space with as many dimesions as you like.... I am not aware of any particles that exist in 4 (or more) dimensional space (other than some speculative theories like Kaluza–Klein theory or string theory).
