What if the 4th dimension is just time. That would mean that the new direction in the dimension would be moving forward in time..... so as you can move up and down in the third dimension that would mean that not only you can go forward in time but you could go backwards... but there are other directions in the third dimension like infinite dimensions so what would be the going down in the fourth dimension for going left or right or diagonal in the 3rd dimension... that would also mean that time is just an illusion and that we are just moving along a different coordinate plane not moving at all into made up things like the future or the past... then theoretically that would mean there could be infinite timelines with all different outcomes but then that brings the question... if there was a 5th or even higher number what would be going backward to going forwards in time but not going back to where you started? Also how and when will humans be able to track through the 4th dimensions what about the higher dimensions it’s crazy to think about I mean that’s literally infinite dimensions we can’t even fizulize or even start to think about? I mean it just seems so ovias once you reallly think about how time is the 4th but then how the heck are we even going to be able to handle the information of the 5th because we don’t even know what the 4th is like anyway. If this is all true then there would be infinite timelines will infinite outcomes which also means that one of those outcomes might’ve already discovered the higher dimensions which would mean that it’s all like a big tree with branches and the dead ended branches are the ones where are life died out before they could discover anything else. But the ones higher then us may already know about that be trying to help us get farther into other dimensions... so how would those higher beings look? Would we even be able to see them? Could they even talk to us? but then if we do progress far enough then we will be able to see them and communicate with them... that might be a terrible idea though because if we meet them there’s no telling what they know and what they can do... the information they tell us would most likely overfill our brains and make us go crazy... so that’s where the great filter comes in. It may be the thing filtering higher beings coming to us and if it filters them out it would also progressing through a tree of dimensions that would mean that the branches not connected to us would be impossible to reach as far as that... and it would be a totally different situation on those branches... so if one timeline goes far enough they could theoretically stop the great filter and if that happened all dimensions would collide... probably singling the end of all dimensions... which would start a Big Bang and start all of space and time up again... but if the dimensions somehow withstanded each other then all of our surroundings would probably be merged with all other things and everything would be crushed... so this would also start up the Big Bang... so humans progressing through dimensions and through intelligence is like the end of everything... it’s a terrible idea but it’s gonna happen... who knows how many years it’ll take... but it’s just like this tree dies out and a seed falls from it and plants another tree. Which would also mean there is a dimension where it is all of the trees of the past. Which would mean all of this stands for that too so this whole theory could be repeated forever and ever. How many trees where before us and how many will come after us until the branch that those trees are on dies and then the other branches of that huge tree collapse then that entire tree dies and plants a new seed... and think about it we are just 1 of 7 billion people on a small little spec in the solar system. Think about how small we are compared to the huge tree, yet how much one person can change by being the one to figure everything out. Dominik jest gownem
