Higher Dimensional Aliens 

Isaac, I had a teacher like you in high school. After a semester of his lectures (and I've been watching your channel for years), I don't even notice it anymore. Keep doing what you're doing, Ad Astra!

You've finally made me "get" the concept of compactified higher dimensions. Thanks, Isaac, you really are a wizard.

I appreciate your respect for axioms even when you don't hold them yourself, and considering them in earnest. You explain what physics and faith actually are quite successfully while taking into consideration they deal with different things. Thanks for your work

I enjoyed the Dark Forest strategies outlned in the Three Body Problem series. There used to be 10 dimensions, but every now and then some species somewhere would invoke a dimensional strike that entirely disabled an entire dimension, leaving us with the three we know of and reducing the speed of light to what it is now. A species would learn to adapt to life in lower dimensions and strike one off, knowing that other species couldn't survive the transition. Like the Singer targeting our solar system as ground zero for an ever-expanding reduction to two dimensional universe. The description of the transition as the borders of 2D space expanded to consume literally everything and map it all on a paper-like plane was fun to imagine

Arthur video is amazing. Please never change your format to conform to the algorithm. It’s the perfect blend of science and science fiction. The videos are just long enough to explore a concept with adequate details or possibilities too make me think. I’m also a huge fan of your longer videos.

I love all the episodes on this channel, but I especially love the more occasional out there ones. I’d like to imagine the idea of two civilizations communicating in different dimensions by making sculptures of themselves in the other’s dimensions. To the higher one, the lower would look like a stick figure on paper, and to the lower it would be some semi- incomprehensible shape. Maybe not possible but it would be an interesting first contact!

Thanks for making my topic suggestion into a full episode! It's always interesting to see where you take an idea in comparison to what I imagined.

Been waiting for this episode Isaac!! Thank you, and hope you had a great weekend buddy, and the smoke from all of the fires up north here didn’t cause you and your family too much distress!! 🔥🇨🇦🔥🤦‍♂️🍻

Hey, I wasn't expecting this episode, what a great day!

Been waiting so long for this episode! Thanks Isaac!

Greg Egan's _Diaspora_ has the colonization of a higher dimensional universe as one of its plot points. It's amazing how singular he is in incorporating such far-out ideas into his fiction, I feel like so many of the concepts in further-afield episodes such as civilizations at the end of time or false vacuum decay have only been touched by his works. Wish there were more of him.

I was going to be a boltzman brain... but then things got really busy at work.

My favorite version of higher dimensional aliens is the Orz from Star Control 2, mostly because you never get a full, accurate translation matrix for their language and so their dialogue is full of "best fits".

First time I’ve heard discussed something I’ve wondered about with regard to higher dimensions: whether there are more than just one dimension of time. I’ve always wondered whether multiple time dimensions (woven together in our normal experience of ‘time’) could resolve to unravel time-travel paradoxes and the speed-of-information limit. Thanks for broaching this topic, and please consider a deeper dive into theories of time for a future episode.

I can understand why you would want to modify your speech, but I must confess I had no problem understanding you before. It was what made you an individual and very distinct. I grew up with a sister who had a speech impediment and maybe that is why it isn't an issue with me. Best wishes to you Mr. Arthur.

I love your speaking and insight in your videos!

Isaac, I've been following your videos for years, except the past year when so much was going on in my life that I had a hiatus. I'm happy to come back and see you are doing as well as ever, or better. You're work is incredibly inspiring to me, and for the looks of it, I'm not alone on this. Thanks. Wishing all the best for you and your family.

There are several people I would love to meet that I watch on RU-vid and you are one of them! Absolutely incredible content you are certainly one of the best

This can be my go-to way of answering Fermi Paradox

Thank you! I love the way you explain things, I sort of get it sometimes. You’re much appreciated.

Yay! Sci-fi Sunday! I needed this

Thanks Issac and Mrs Isaac, much appreciated.

There are a couple of 4D games under development. One called Miegakure: Hide and Reveal (a puzzle game), the other being 4D Miner (a 4D Minecraft clone with a demo available on Steam). Already available is 4D Toys, which is a sandbox of 4D objects with VR support if you can afford the hardware, and can be played with a keyboard and mouse if not.

Oh Algorithm gods! hear your humble servant's plea and spread this video!

Congratulations with the successful operation. I can clearly hear a completely new level of expression in your voice and to shine much brighter. You clearly have a new and wonderful Flair.❤

I haven't watched you for a while but I did notice an improvement right at the beginning. I'm glad I watched to the end to find out it wasn't just me. Congratulations.

Been waiting for this one!

Great video , hope there's many more to come😎

Hope you've recovered/are recovering well from surgery, the bit at the end does sound a wee bit clearer for me, since you asked. Thanks for making interesting videos :)

Hey Isaac, this video reminded me of what the caller in the 1997 Art Bell radiostation incident said. With him claiming that aliens have access to more dimensions than us. The idea of extra-dimentional aliens sounds bogus but it’s an interesting expansion on the whole concept. It would kind of explain the whole “aircraft moving in ways that defy our current understanding of physics” thing, with them also poking in and out of our reality at will XD It sounds like history channel levels of delusional but it’s growing on me

don't forget "A wrinkle in time" for Tesseract fame! That's how I first heard of it! also i am in awe of the guy that went through so much effort to make a suit out of the thumbnail art of your channel!!!

I definitely hear a difference. You are so much clearer with what sounds like less effort. Congrats on the surgery, I hope you like how your throat/tongue feel now.

It would be difficult to discern the difference between alien entities that are interdimensional from entities that use other dimensions to travel and communicate. To us both would appear to be interdimensional.

Isaac, please keep up the great content!

Favourite channel for gentle mind stretches at the end of a long day 😌😌 Don't buy into extra physical dimensions myself. Though I think different scales, in time and space, are super interesting.

I loved science fiction comics as a kid, i remember well a story that scared me and fascinated me at the same time. It was about a odd family that drew too much attention to themselves and it was dimension hopping "aliens" my theory was they might have humans that lived under so different conditions that they didn't look human. That was my first thought about alternate dimensions. And what they might be like.

Perhaps the idea of a multiverse or quantum-universe where "everything that can happen does happen" is really just how we experience existing restricted within a single "slice" of a higher-dimensional reality. It might even explain quantum entanglement, since starting in a particular "slice" of something would necessarily make another particle correspond appropriately.

one of the reasons I like the new for you tab is cause I get to find interesting videos like this.

With the ufo disclosures coming out lately, and some of the craft described. If true, would maybe mean we have evidence of type 1, type 2, or even type 3 civilizations. 1 of the vehicles was described as being much bigger on the inside. Able to rearrange space/time. Exciting times ahead if true, lets hope everything is disclosed and released along w/ all recovered technology. Could be pretty epic to leap-frog our civilization by 500 years or more.

Incredible! The differences in orbital gravity between dimensions could very well explain why they crash so often on earth! This is insane

Love this channel

I was hoping you would take on multiple time dimensions. Greg Egan’s take on them was very interesting but I want to hear more.

It’s like Christmas but science

You're the man, Isaac!

Yes I noticed a difference! Sounds great!

Really giving "Taking life in a whole new direction" a very literal whole new meaning there I see.

You can embed flat 3D space on the surface of a 6-cube, with 64 flat cubic volumes with 192 vertices (singularities), although intrinsically it is a flat 3D torus looking like a 4x4x4 matrix of cubes where leaving one side re-enters the opposite sides.

I think the most interesting take on higher dimension aliens is the Law of One series. I have for years studied fringe religions, and treat every single one as agnositically and respectfully as I can. I hope I dont mess it up to much or get too much wrong but as I remember Law of One is one where people believe that our souls grow and become greater, eventually moving up dimensions can inhabit higher dimensional bodies. I think at like 5th dimension they believe you shed needing to inhabit a body completely and exist as a light being that can interact with lower dimensions. This is where we get like gods, angels, demons, and stuff. Most notably they believe Ra (the very same Egyptian god) is one of these higher density light beings which has taken an interest (among other high dimensional beings) in seeing humans throgh to the 4th dimension. It's a really interesting read and tbh I honestly believe it's one of those religions that sounds super wild, but the message is super good and peaceful.

I forgot that a new Sci-Fi Sunday episode was coming out. A most welcome and informative weekend treat Isaac.

After the introduction my first thought was "is this a reference to the three body problem"?? You know, - !!!SPOILER ALLERT!!! - dimensions-collapsing weapons and what not

Thank You ❤❤

At first glance I thought this episode said, higher delusional aliens. I was a little disappointed when I realized it was not about delusional aliens.

I save these for later sometimes to my arthur playlist lol

Much clearer. I've been listening for a long time now. I figured it was just a new mic or audio tweek.

Main line this right to my brain...makes my brain happy. Talking on reality vs trying to fit it thu the lens of some ego. Give me the real stuff everytime.

Does anybody else remember a BBC miniseries from the late 1990s titled Invasion Earth? It involved Humanity's attempts to deal with an incursion by aliens dubbed nDimensionals or nDs for short. Very good series, though the ending was a bit of a downer.

I was introduced to tesseracts by Madeleine L'Engle’s novel “A Wrinkle in Time” in the 6th grade (1975).

Greetings!, Looking forward to this one!

Your voice seems a bit better, but always great. Awesome vid, thanks!

TY SFIA! I try to think of dimensions as degrees of freedom. x,y,z is three. t is 4. 5 and above are just more degrees of freedom (c, l, r, m, delta, gamma, theta, omega, etc.) We live in a universe that has as many dimensions as we have letters from 3 alphabets to describe and observe.

Welcome back, Isaac Outro!

i believe extra dimensions are much larger, not smaller. in some cases we r like a plank length to other dimension realities. this takes multiverses to the level of superverses...we r within superverses and not adjacent to multiverses.

I've been watching your video's a long time. I don't often leave a comment but just wanted to say I think you do sound pretty much the same. For me personally it's not an issue. I've always understood you and I find the way you talk and sound relaxing. Maybe I'm just weird, lol. Thanks for another great video.

The first time I pondered the 4th dimension was reading Carl Sagans book Cosmos from the 80's . Finally someone today touching on other dimensions. Great video....please more content like this ! 🙏❤❤

Excellent.

Great vid so far but damn a Threshold reference let's go. that was a GREAT show

As someone who randomly plays your old videos, I can definitely hear a difference between your current voice and your previous one from ywars ago, but honestly I did not clock a difference within this video. Either way hope the speech therapy goes well for you Isaac!

Thanks!

I have a question, how does the 3d world look from the higher dimension spitial dimensions? Do 4D aliens also go blind if they stare at the sun for too long? Does the sun have a 4d component(i dont mean time when i say 4d but rather extra spatial components)

8:40 Your imagery is stunning. Is any copyright free?

Dimensions are my favorite, that and simulation theory.

Well this rabbit hole totally isn't going to melt my brain Trying to wrap my head around now this would all work. But just like the immaterium from 40K,it's a good pain.

Great work as usual. Video idea: pockrt dimensions. Thank you for your videos

Regarding the 2D life, if someone has any issues understanding the concept, I highly recommend Tibees' short videos where she discusses stealing from 2D beings, very visual and intuitive explanation of how dimensions interact.

Really interesting x

Ay think that human minde hawe keys for all dimensions example ,If you hawe tu minde end hawe magnet of conection bat conection is bloced than from uan minde go cuestion or signals tou nather minde end nather minde wi reazons we bloced tou answer or tou giv back signals this minde no to open a dimensions imeaditly or in the time bat will open a roud to giv back informations or signals tou first minde.

I have a feeling that there are other realities besides ours and some of them are more advance millions of years. We are the new kids in the block. They are so advsnces that they can travel to our dimension. Some can even enter our homes to watch us up close. I have had experiences with those beings. They do not get too close to me because I am religious though not a fan. I practice hours of prayer and meditation. I have seen them and heard them. The ones I have dealt with are not too friendly. I have an angel that accompanies me as a spiritual guide. He protects me from those entities getting close to me but they send me telepathic messages. Most of the time is cursing me, attempting to offend me and doing their best to interfere to create issues in my life. So far I have being able to manage effectively and lead a normal life. I have a bachellors in business management and a minor degree in social psychology. In the past I underwent psychotherapy for three years. I do not regret it but it did no improvement at all because I have being having those experiences since I was seven or eight years old.😮

REALITY AND EXPERIENCES: Whatever 'reality' truly is, it manifests itself in the 'experiences' experienced. But by gaining knowledge, understanding and wisdom in actual reality, 'better' applications can be applied that to others might seem magical or even miracle. But it would just be 'better' use of actual reality.

You do sound clearer Isaac !👍💚

This martial approach makes it very clear why intelligent beings are observing us and not trying to make contact. They must be concluding "another failed attempt here"...

The last time I was this early hot air balloons were high tech.

This reminds me of graph databases and theory. A reference point (or node) can have infinite orthogonal dimensions of information.

In the series Dune, the goal of the Bene Gesserit breeding program, the Kwisatz Hadersch, is a being that can perceive more than 3 spacial dimensions.

Great show very informative. I thought it was going to be about that UFO whistleblower.

Look up tibees where the partys at 5d, her graph on 5d size with math formulas might relate to your our 3d plane is inside an upper dimension. Also her graph showed that higher dimensions appear to escape that bulk and might be of a different bulk (bulk: orions arm scientific idea)

I love this man's voice!☺️💛✨

My personal intuition is that space is actually more than 3 dimensional, but the forces we interact with predominantly propogate in 3 dimensions, or maybe even it's the 3 dimensional components that keep things running. Maybe you have force carriers being spun about in multiple directiongs along multiple dimensions, which divides their attention so to speak. So things try to act in 1 dimension but are skewed about then try to act in 2 dimensions but are skewed about but a tad less, and then act in 3 dimensions, and there's considerably less skewing beyond the 3rd dimension, everything just kind of looks at each other and balances out, and the attemtpts to collapse to lower dimensionality reaches its equilibrium at 3 dimensions at most scales. So if a 4 dimensional object comrpised of particles which were enacting forces upon each other, came into our nearby space, those particles would be weakly mutually attracted or repulsed, but would be more strongly influenced by the nearby 3 dimensional arrangement. Thent he 3 dimensional arrangement would act strongly on the 4 dimensional arrangement while the 4 dimensional arrangment would act weakly upon the 3 dimensional arrangement. And while the 4D particle arrangement would knock particles in the 3D arrangement askew, the particles in the 4D arrangement would be pulled into alignment with the 3D arrangement far more intensely... This would ultimately result in the vast majority of the 3D particles remaining 3D particles while the 4D particles get realigned into 3D particles, unless the 4D structure is constructed sturdy enough to resist collapse. Such a dimensional collapse would probably be a very violent event because the density of the particles will be exponentially increasing while the intensity of the mutually acting forces would also be increasing. (Incidentally, Stable extradimensional particles, are what I think dark matter might be Perhaps other stable 3 dimensional arrangements existing in the dimensions beyond the 3rd tugging on us gravitationally because the 3D mutual alignment of all particles and their interactive forces are not aligned absolutely perfectly, just close enough to be essentially stable. While alternate 3D arrangements are also not perfectly aligned, but are stable, and this works such that things might tug on us from beyond the 3rd dimension but will be felt far weaker, and will only practically influence the 3 dimensions in which our acessible particles are arranged, and we act likewise to them... So our Plane of existence has dark matter, but we're the dark matter of other planes of existence.) TL;DR: Dimensionality is arbitrary, and we're in 3D because all known particles are to the best of our knowledge in a 3D arrangement, and this is why forces also propagate in 3D; however, The conflict between infinite dimensionality and particles seeking 1-Dimensionality, at most scales, or it at least in the circumstances of our universe's creation/formation, finds its equilibrium in 3 dimensions leading to most stable fields of existence being 3 dimensional arrangements. Furthermore, Nth dimensional arrangements beyond 3 dimensions will shock themselves into alignment with the 3 dimensional arrangements they interact with causing hyperdensification of particles, forces, and energy, as they collapse into 3D; meanwhile other stable arrangements in 3 dimensions beyond the 3rd dimension of our arrangment will be unable to meaningfully interact with one another for the most part, but the minute interactions might have massive additive effects on the [hyper]cosmic scale, and that's one potential candidate for dark matter. (In the event that this entire schema isn't total bollucks.) TL;DR of TL;DR: I strongly and irrationally believe that we are in more than 3 Dimensions, but we percieve them as 3 Dimensions because matter arranges at it's most stable in 3 dimensions. And force propagation in 3 Dimensions emerges from the 3 Dimensional arrangement of matter and energy, not the other way around.

So many strange supernatural things feel intuitively like they are higher dimensional beings slipping through our 3D slice of the 4D landscape they more through.

Great vid! new sub here

I did start to wonder if this was recorded post-surgery, right about the time you went from main segment to the NSS conference part. So there is an improvement, but a subtle one, since I wondered about the whole episode, but only started to wonder at that point.

Pack up, we're moving. Greenwich village? Better a place orthogonal to all you see, but don't forget the sleeper couch.

honestly that is the biggest end all to high dimensional entitys. HOW TO GET THERE and vice versa as you said and its likely never gonna be a actual "gateway" or any physical doorway more like a IRL exploit where you do a specific combination at certain times and "leave the map"

@12:58 not necessarily, we don't know this for sure as we don't have any way of testing this. In regard to the perturbations, there's no reason to think that if gravity scaled with dimensions, the other forces acting on orbits (such as the speedup) wouldn't increase as well, balancing everything out.

I have had several speech issues including the one we share, the evil "r", and like you I have that letter in both syllables of my last name. Good times. You've always been completely clear to me.

I'm thinking about dimensions within reality quite a bit. An example is how stars collapse or how black holes shoot jets out of their black shell. In my opinion the 2D universe having a front and back could explain this. Our 3D universe has objects collapsing into singularities (a one dimensional entity basically), so I don't think it's impossible for 3D objects to collapse into 2D space which could explain some weird effects like ... hard to explain... but the black hole's event horizon is spherical, it has a flat ring of matter around it, and shoots jets out of its black shell... At 3 occasions the matter is forced through a 90° angle somehow... Sounds A LOT like the adding/removing of dimensions/axis on paper in math.

Props for mentioning my favorite sci-fi author, Stephen Baxter. By far one of the greatest hard sci-fi authors of our time.

Is there a good test to distinguish between one dimension of time and three? Like having each coordinate a complex number or such like? Since gravitation would be isotropic, you wouldn’t see an obvious difference from that.

IF a photon travels only at c (speed of light) ...THEN photons should be 5D. IE a 3D creature/object (like star) has to experience 3 dimensions linearly in the 4th dimension (time). Photon experiences pure time dilation because v == c. So, it experiences 3 spatial, 1 time dimension; non-linearly. ...This is where it gets tricky even for the best physicists. Photons have to exist in a 5th dimension of sorts: because v == c; and this causes complete time dilation, they also experience 3 spatial dimensions simultaneously (everywhere they'll ever be) at the same time. Basically they break casaulity and uncertainty principle. Uncertainty only works at v < c: v >= c it is a moot point, you can tell exactly where the photon will be (ever). In order for this to happen, it must be traveling in 'SOMETHING' beyond 3 spatial, 1 time dimensions @ v = c. That something would need to constrain it somehow, ensuring that there is a linear progression of photonic energy (light), otherwise a given point in spacetime would light up randomly, even though the light bulb doesn't exist there yet. There is likely t-subX; where X > 1...IE more than 1 type of time.

4d minecraft is a very interesting game.

"“…every figure of space is but the result of the intersection by a plane of some corresponding figure of one more dimension - as a square is cut from a cube or a circle from a sphere. The cube and sphere, of three dimensions, are thus cut from corresponding forms of four dimensions that men know only through guesses and dreams; and these in turn are cut from forms of five dimensions, and so on up to the dizzy and reachless heights of archetypal infinity.” Through the Gates of the Silver Key
