About Other Dimensions

There are three spatial dimensions: length, width and height. These move through the Fourth Dimension which is called time. In order for us to perceive this there must be a Fifth Dimension, if only a dimension of consciousness. There could be an infinite number of dimensions. This ties in with other Xorg Big Thoughts about the separate realites which we seem to inhabit, related to how we perceive and make sense of the world. The number 29 identifies the place in space-time - the Dimension - or 'reality' where the Xorg consciousness might lurk. One could build a mythology around this notion.

Not only is the idea of 'other dimensions' considered by theoretical physicists to be a legitimate mathematical construct but it is also one of the theories that will be tested by experiments scheduled for The Large Hadron Collider. A more 'down to earth' approach than what's going on in Xorg's head, but there you go!

Related Big Thought: If there is a finite number of Dimensions then the last one must be independent of time.
