Dimensional brain wave hypothesis

[QauntumTunneler]

I have thought about this for some time and though it was time to post to see what others think, anyway here it is:

I have a hypothesis that everything everylivig thing has ever thought about, is either a window into another dimension, or a dimension is being created around that thought.

That's all. I just wanted to know what others think. I am 13 and an aspiring quantum physicist.

Did peter pan come through the window? Your eyes are the windows. We all see different things. (but no one claims to have seen higher dimensions unless under the influence). Your in the truman show btw.

[QauntumTunneler]

That's not what I mean. I'm saying that the brain acts like a transdimensional "viewing device". I'm not saying that this is completely accurate either, but, hey, it's just a hypothesis. Also just because I have an idea about how the brain generates what is so far known as an artificial dimension during a lucid dream, does NOT mean I'm under the influence of anything. Drugs of any kind other than pharmaceutical is an inefficient waste of money, and time. I don't understand why people take drugs, and I can assure you that I don't.

Sorry, that was a little bit out of line of me, it just seemed like you where implying that I do drugs, which, once again, I do not. Again, I apologise.

How do you define "dimension"?

 

Assuming your hypothesis is correct, how would we go about proving these other dimensions?

[QauntumTunneler]

Good point. I suppose you would need to start with a worm or black-hole as a "gate" back and forth. Finding the coordinates for those universes would be difficult however.

A couple of questions: what problem does this solve? If everything we think of (which presumably means everything we see and hear?) is in another dimension, how is it any different from those things being in this dimension?

 

Also, what evidence is there that does (or could) support this hypothesis? More precisely, what tests would show it to be wrong? (This is the key question you should always ask yourself about any such hypothesis - it is the basis of a scientific approach.)

[QauntumTunneler]

Good point, I have no idea, to be honest, but hey, I don't know everything. I also don't have the recourses to test it.

Why did you ever come up with the hypothesis in the first place?

Fair enough. But these are the sort of things you should consider when you come up with a new idea.

[Sensei]

That's all. I just wanted to know what others think. I am 13 and an aspiring quantum physicist.

I think you should start from the beginning,

Like f.e. electrolysis of water with Gold electrode, to make Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

Then make Cockcroft-Walton generator, or other high voltage generator, and ionize Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Air, Carbon Dioxide, etc. etc.

Split light on prism,

Try to analyze spectral lines,

etc. etc. etc.

This is basis of the real quantum physics. Not some fairy tales..

[QauntumTunneler]

I understand what quantum physics is. I was just mentioning something about myself. I know that this hypothesis has almost nothing to do with quantum physics, but what's the harm in sharing ideas with other people?

I don't care if this hypothesis is completely false, but I was simply thinking about it and wanted to share it. I do, however, put most of my time into research on black and worm-holes, aswell as other things. I'm currently reading up on ALL of quantum theory.

I understand what quantum physics is.

Well played! I guess you have a point, what I mean to say is... I understand how to read and comprehend quantum physics. Although, now that I think about it, that's not much different to saying I understand. Again, well played.

Why did you ever come up with the hypothesis in the first place?

Because a forum like this is a place to share ideas and gather others opinions. Just because I'm a moderately poor 13 year old, who can't test things, doesn't prevent me from sharing thoughts.

i have no doubt you've read about quantum mechanics and physics. the problem is saying you understand it. at your age that seems unlikely, but i guess you could have taught yourself the necessary mathematics to solve some problems. also what you're reading could just be a pop science journalism interpretation unless you're reading the original papers from peer reviewed journals.

don't let the work that lies ahead scare you though. stay interested and keep learning about it.

[QauntumTunneler]

Thank you, and I will. I hope to one day win the Nobel prize in quantum physics, or atleast physics.

But why think that those thoughts would create a new dimension?

[QauntumTunneler]

Because anything is possiable until proven otherwise.

[andrewcellini]

Because anything is possiable until proven otherwise.

science is essentially guided by observation and theory. you're gonna need evidence of your predictions.

 

and the prediction is going to come from some preexisting mathematical model or one you make.

 

just because you can think it up doesn't mean it's logically consistent, or physically meaningful. it could very well be impossible (or highly unlikely) given the current theories.

I suppose, I'm sorry for waisting all of your time with this. I just have a need to get my ideas out there, you know?

[ajb]

I just have a need to get my ideas out there, you know?

We know this feeling, however sometimes you need to 'sit on your hands' and think a bit more before going 'public'.

[QauntumTunneler]

You have a point. I guess I just need more research, and overall knowledge, to "sand out the rough edges" as it where, before posting

[andrewcellini]

sure do. i've definitely had sillier "scientific" ideas lol

I was only joking and under the influence myself when i wrote that.

 

On a serious note your idea is more founded in philosophy where you could say something like "Every new concept my mind creates (or comprehends) is unique and every thought i have about that concept too may be unique". Something like that, It's conceptual, You could also argue idea's are dimensional, which doesn't seem unfounded. Perhaps not in the physical sense but in the mathematical. (here's a non refined example)

 

1) The first dimension is understanding of letters and differentiating vowels and consonants. (a point)

 

2) The second dimension being the understanding of letters making a word. (a vector)

 

3a) The first part of the third dimension could be understanding the word has a specific meaning and type (3 vectors, noun, adjective, verb..etc.) & (a tense, usually of a verb but there are lots of tenses (which you could argue add dimensions themselves))

 

3b) The second part of the third dimension would then be comprehension of sets of words making a sentence, if they have the right order given the type. (connecting vectors into various shapes) E.G "I am not small" which is "noun verb verb adjective" creating 3 dimensional space (I think)

 

4) The fourth dimension could be that certain sentences can be defined by a word. (wrapping the third dimension over)

E.G "Would you like some cake?" -> (3) "I would like some cake" or (4) "Yes".

E.G "We are" -> (3) "Showing each other why we disagree with each other" or (4) "Debating".

 

5) The fifth dimension i suppose would be a recursion of the fourth, which would lead to more precise language and complex concepts. To add to this I suppose you "could" say that each time the process of recursion happens your adding a new dimension if perhaps that new word or concept diverges enough from a previous concept or word, so for example. (wrapping the fourth dimension this time, making X dimensions).

E.G The concept "converse, conversation and conversed" would be dimensionally parallel to "talk, talking and talked", whereas;

E.G The concept "debate, debating and debated" would be dimensionally different to "argue, arguing and argued" because they are both dimensional extensions of "talk, talking and talked", similar but different concepts included such as "talked civilly" and "talked aggressively".

 

This obviously isn't an accurate representations of the dimensions of language but it should be enough to relate the dimensionality of your thoughts to

 

everything every living thing has ever thought about is either a window into another dimension, or a dimension is being created around that thought.

 

Where the dimensions are incrementing composite concepts.

 

 

One last thing, there would be some discrepancy with (3a) and (3b) as these are also recursive processes, to understand the meaning of a word (3a) you must know it in context or various context (3b), so perhaps you learn the type, then sentence, then meaning? I think these types of idea's are strongly related to AI.

 

Finally mathematical dimensions and physical dimensions are different things, i believe mathematicians and scientists use them in different ways to get different results so i suppose you could argue the dimensions of language only have to adhere to the dimensions of mathematics, which is quite vague, look up: n-dimensional hyperspace.

 

And here's a cool video to watch if you haven't seen it:

 

However this video explains the possibility of physical dimensions which obviously already exist mathematically.

 

Hope this gives your "hypotheses" a little more scientific ground.

 

A couple of questions: what problem does this solve? If everything we think of (which presumably means everything we see and hear?) is in another dimension, how is it any different from those things being in this dimension?

 

Also, what evidence is there that does (or could) support this hypothesis? More precisely, what tests would show it to be wrong? (This is the key question you should always ask yourself about any such hypothesis - it is the basis of a scientific approach.)

 

If you read my above post, there could be some practical application within AI and machine linguistics.

 

Also he's a 13 year old kid so i'm guessing he's looking for idea's to bounce off, rather than creating a scientific thesis.
