Imagining 10 Dimensions - the Movie 

There have been a number of developments in the last several years which have moved my ideas closer to the mainstream. The detection of gravity waves and the demonstration of 4D time crystals have confirmed my approach to envisioning the fourth dimension as being just as spatial as the others. Nobel in physics laureate Kip Thorne, in his 2014 book The Science of Interstellar portrays the fifth dimension as giving you simultaneous access to the multiple probabilistic outcomes of Everett's Many Worlds, one of the basic ideas I've been promoting since this project began in 2006. My newest book, which you can see more about at tenthdimension.com is called "We Start With a Point (but what's the point?)” and it explores the very question you are asking. It also tracks the ups and downs I've seen in my own life since this project began, a topic that has come up in my most recent videos as well. Now that I'm 65 I'm retiring from my career as a composer and 5.1 theatrical film mixer. Imagining the Tenth Dimension has been my passionate hobby for these past 14 years. There has been a worldwide response to this project - my first book has even been translated into Punjabi and Farsi, and a Korean youtube channel has a bootleg copy of my first video with my name covered up, it's at over 5 million views! A number of other channels on RU-vid and elsewhere also have racked up substantial views of my work without giving me credit, some even claiming they created the video. Still, even just on my own channel RU-vid tells me people have spent over 1.1 million hours watching my content, a fact I find astonishing and humbling. As a non-scientist I've been quite willing to explore the connections between my approach and topics that some dismiss as "woo". Sacred geometry, the Kaballah, the Vedas, angelology, genes in a River Out of Eden, the Pythagorean Tetractys, ghosts, the primacy of consciousness, the Platonic doctrine of anamnesis, and much more have come up in the over 450 videos I've published on this channel over the years. The shared visions experienced by humans in various altered states has been one particularly fertile area of exploration. Do a google search for the work of algekalipso to find someone who understands the math, the extra-dimensional topologies and the psychological ramifications of all this much more deeply than I do. Having never tried a psychedelic myself, I was particularly honoured when author and serious psychedelics researcher David Jay Brown said this in his book The New Science of Psychedelics: "Physicist Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension and Rob Bryanton's Imagining the Tenth Dimension both seem to provide uncanny maps of the territory that one encounters after smoking salvia or DMT. Like the two-dimensional character in Edwin Abbott's book Flatland, we seem just as limited in our three-dimensional perspective." To be clear, I have smoked marijuana on occasion (it's legal here in Canada), and my doctor son recently informed me that some cannabis does have psychedelic properties, though you can't prove that through my own experience. But the idea that altered states, achieved through meditation, sensory deprivation, or ritualistic movement, or various drugs and medicines, do allow people to catch glimpses of patterns and perhaps even entities from the extra dimensions makes sense to me. Graham Hancock's book Supernatural explores these altered states connections across geography and human history, it's well worth a read.

@@10thdim I love the way your mind works! We've actually chatted a few times over the years but I would love to just really sit and talk with you about some of this stuff! Recently I have been applying the 1st and 2nd Dimensions to Light and Sound. I feel like the best way to wrap our minds around the "Flatlander" experience is to watch sound waves on a Digital Audio Workstation. The gaps between sound bites and the shapes of the individual sound waves, all layered together to create one complete song. It takes a 3rd dimensional approach to view the anatomy of a song. With light and electrical currents, I apply that to the 1st dimension. It's all about directions. Is it a one-way street or a two way street? What does that difference mean? Are there other nodes that the current can flow to and through? And how does that flow of current effect the higher dimensions, i.e., powering a light bulb once the switch is flipped. I could go on but I'm at work right now. I just wanted to set the tone of the conversation. ☺

Alexander Ashley Right on! Schrodinger said “I insist upon the view that all is waves”. Looking at a waveform in a DAW, we can imagine it as a shadow of Everett’s Universal Wavefunction, and rather than a sample rate of 48K (or whatever) we can imagine that the sample rate is defined at the Planck length. Drop your cursor at a specific position and you get a very specific amplitude, this gives us a way to imagine how the point like particles can spring from Schrodinger’s waves through observation. One of my favorite reviews from Amazon of my first book said they liked my “strangely musical” way of imagining reality. Within that paradigm, our entire universe from beginning to end is like a song, and the different probabilistic outcomes for the universe would be different performances of that song, what do you think about that idea?

@@10thdim You hit the nail right on the head! I too see the universe and reality in a musical way, and a mathematical way as well. I was just telling my friend yesterday that the easiest way to imagine multiple different infinites is to imagine restarting a video game and playing a new set within the same universal laws. Playing another game on another counsel or platform would be more of a folding through the dimension above.

And another way to imagine infinites of different scales is to look at our number line from additional axis. For example, on the X line, we can call that our positive and negative scale. But I believe that we can create a branch from that axis to represent our decimal places. Then as you place your point on the coordinates of, let's say 6.3109, you will end up with a triangular shape representing that number, rather than a line of a particular length on a number line.

Sorry, 3743 here...

I’ve never forgot this video ever since 2015 seeing it for the first time

May 2 , 2024 . 3:30 am . I wonder if I can make it to the end. I'm at the 5th dimension so far so good. I will save it just in case now. 😅

@@billyworkmna video game development software?

I thought of this. Just as us 3 Dimensional beings have to give life to 2 Dimensional beings by animating them or giving them Artificial intelligence on a 2D plane, a 4th Dimensional being might possibly do the same in some way but on a 3D plane, so it would resemble something like CGI, or something more complex that might not be Fathomable to us. The "3D cgi" we use is not really 3 Dimensional, it's only the illusion of 3D space, but really it's still on a 2D surface. This makes me think there might possibly be a "creator" of sorts, or some kind of process in the 4th dimension that influences our current dimension, but it would be nothing we could ever imagine and it's intentions would be far beyond our understanding. However, a 2D being can't question it's own existence unless we 3D beings animate them to, every action it takes is because we designed or coded them to do so, and the similar phenomenon happens with us 3D beings. We think we have free will, but if you know about the *"Libet Experiment,"* Our brains make decisions before we act on it, even if it's a fraction of a micro second. Isn't that curious? Could someone or something be "animating" or coding our decisions in some strange, unfathomable way in the 4th dimension? It makes me wonder. It might not even be a straight forward animation of us #D beings, it could be an artificial intelligence randomizing the universe as they watch it grow and become more complex, such as we 3D beings made on a 2D screen with digital particles made of 1s and 0s. Our fundamental particles in our 3D universe is like our 1s and 0s. but are far more complex, and is the equivalent of having 2s 3s and 4s etc to create our universe. But I'm just speculating.

It is, nevertheless, complete bullshit. You’re wasting time learning bullshit.

Unfortunately the framing is bollocks. Most of the ideas presented are fairly well grounded (if not necessarily real) but these are not really dimensions at all.

The original “Imagining the Tenth Dimension” video literally changed my life, I would not be the person I am today had I never seen it!

@@kriskaniac6556 then you are basing your life on a lie

@@ralphclark not really, it’s just one possible interpretation of realty. Whether or not you consider these dimensions it’s a relevant to the fact that it is a way to order all possible patterns. There’s a lot that coincides with string theory and makes the most sense, for instance superposition being particles in a higher dimension that collapse into what we see as that particle’s lower dimensional shadow, hence why you can’t measure all properties of certain particles simultaneously. I don’t necessarily believe every aspect but it is a great way to open your mind up to more possibilities, and a lot of innovation has come from string theory and such so it’s at least partially correct.

@@kriskaniac6556 look. There are theories that involve extra dimensions that have been developed by professional physicists and reviewed and refined by other physicists over many years. I don’t have a problem with any theory that is supported by the evidence and doesn’t break physics. But this video represents a speculation made by a non professional who may not even have any relevant academic credentials, it is not peer reviewed. And besides all that, it is directly ruled out both by its internal logical flaws AND by direct physical evidence. I’m afraid it’s bullshit.

it's fascinating how well science and logic fit together with spirituality, in the end, they give us the same answers just formulated differently.

Unfortunately, almost all of this is amazingly speculative mathematical science fiction with no actual evidence to back it up. So in a sense yes, it is rather like spirituality. Sabine Hosenfelder will help to set you straight.

shut the fuck up.

Thanks! This is a set of ideas I’ve been passionate about since I first started imagining these orthogonal dimensions at the age of seven back in 1962. I’ve become a fan of Plato’s concept of “anamnesis” - the idea that there are things we are born knowing, forget as children, then educate ourselves to remember. Schrödinger, of course, was a lifelong student and active promoter of Eastern mysticism and the Vedanta, seeing connections to the quantum world he was helping to reveal, that’s anamnesis too I would say.

That happened to me too, Salvia is a hell of a drug.

Try DMT. Shamans say that you jump into 6th.

It split me in half. Oh, Sal...

daveslow84 You better get your head out your ass! Goddamn Jesus-freak!

I felt two dimensional walking around on LSD. Then I saw a car blasting some rap music, and the car itself was bouncing around like it would if this was a cartoon car blasting music. True Story.

Constantin Eugen Cozma ..that was mind bogglingly awesome! thanks for that. To answer your point about the flatlands, I don't think that they would need to have any limit on the size of the horizon. They could equally well have an implicit knowledge of an infinitely distant horizon, but be living on a curved plane of some sort which would give them a varying horizon line.

Constantin Eugen Cozma But humans also only see 0 and 1. 0 = no value 1= va;ue we see values

+Caprica Six We interpret values. We use counting every day, but we count macroscoic objects that can be broken down into infinitely smaller pieces.

the horizon of a flatlander is exactly 2πr with r the distance a flatlander can see.

Yes thank you

What a fascinating concept. Can u please elaborate further.

The Answer to the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything, is not 42. Its actually 0.

+Joe Schmoe yeeesss

You know nothing!

Drew Isaacson Do not trust Rob Bryanton, there's a very good reason he's never received an award.

GuySaysThings true evolution comes from those that think outside the box and push the paradigm. Not just some labeling like an award

Of course there isn't such a thing as "nothing". Nothingness is nothing but a concept that can only exist because there is something. So without something, there is no nothing, and therefore there is something. The same applies to life and death.

Zero as visualised here reminds me of the phrase, "As above, so below". A popular modern paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet. The 0'th and the 10th dimension. As above, so below.

Please see my thoughts posted three weeks after yours, I’m curious what your thoughts are.

***** Then wouldn't there be a universe where I'm a super genius and decide to tell all the other universes' "me" that this multi-verse thing is actually true

***** Crazy, man. This shit gives me a headache. I believe in the 'everything is realized' reality myself. But believing it exists does me no good whatsoever. My perception of reality (MY path - defined by MY choices) is all I see. As soon as I realize a new choice, I'm redirected. Instantly rerouted off the old track and seamlessly headed off into a different direction, a different future. But from my perspective, I have NO idea what has just occurred, if anything occurred at all. Its like, how badly do you want to see behind the curtain? Bad enough that you'll commit to living an entire lifetime just to experience the effect that that one decision made in your life? Whew.......Must Find Advil.

You do realise that also every bad thing is also happening "right now" in an infinity of other dimensions? XD So in the end it's an infinity of good things and an infinity of bad things, therefore the ratio is 1? Can a mathematician tell me what is (infinity divided by infinity)?

MultiGoban i guess it comes down to what dimension you care about..

What saddens me is the utter rotten implications those universes mean. Example, I can be Hittler, I can be Jesus and I can be George Bush. There is something wrong with the parallel universe theory, ethically speaking of course. Further implications indicate many more fucked up scenarios as I can be as big as the tangible universe. One has to wonder, what the serious fuck are we?

***** Yes, a single destiny is. Although, there may be an infinite number of alternative. However, I got no idea how quantum fluctuation may alter the space-time and hence void the destiny. What I certainly know is that our universe results from QF and after wich, as the physical mass of our universe have grew exponentially the quantum efect became very small. profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-physics-basics/quantum-fluctuations-and-their-energy/

noangelsaroundme You just contradicted yourself. Are you saying you can plan for the future but don't try to predict the outcome?

Thanks!

No prob, thank you, too. You earned a sub, even though your channel is not active anymore. I like to think about this...

Very succinct summary. I agree, with what you said, albeit an oversimplification.

Kradrling "Fourth dimension" as a phrase is tricky for us: if we use it to refer to our experience of time, then it appears to be very different from the other collections of dimensions. With my project I'm trying to get people to see how "time" as we experience it is only a limited subset of what is actually a full spatial dimension, the one that is at right angles to the three that it includes, and that viewpoint is directly related to us being constructed from atoms and molecules that are confined to a 3D membrane. I've used the 2D slice example in my videos to talk further about this - I believe it makes sense that for a 2D world "time" would be a subset of the third spatial dimension, where you experience one 2D frame after another to allow for change to occur. To extend your idea further, any dimension would have static "frames", each representing that dimension in a certain state, and stacking different states for any dimension one next to the other (using the "next dimension above") would be how change can occur for that dimension. Thanks for thinking deeply about these ideas!

+10thdim Music could explain fourth dimension ? If you think music is a "thing" you hear when the time pass, but you cant hear all the notes of the music at the same time, if you hear everthing at the same time this became noise(or blurry images) So you have to use memory to understand the whole. We have to use memory to understand time too.

+10thdim So does that mean that "time" in a sense is just relative to the dimension. Meaning, that for every dimension, change is only affected by the dimension above

Exactly, that's what I've been proposing with this project. And time as we know it is a direction, not a dimension. You need to consider time's opposing direction, "anti-time" if you want to consider it a dimension. And if we're using words like length width and depth, then "duration" would be a better corresponding word to describe our experience of the fourth dimension as creatures made of 3D atoms and molecules.

+10thdim So are animated movies longer than 1 second "techinally" considered 3D?

just sayin w....t.....f

I understand the 1~8, but can't imagine the zeroth and the ninth. I can however Imagine the 10th.

MultiGoban the 0th is a point. no length, no width, if you zoom in 1000x it looks like the same point. if you zoom out 200000000x it looks like a the same point.

***** I know... But what is it? Why is the 0th =/= nothing?

MultiGoban Meh. I guess you just need a good imagination. It's hard to describe. It actually does not exist. It is just a representation of something we can not perceive.

Wisdom is the best way to go, actually. That, and self understanding.

Do drugs! drugs are good! LSD for the mind and cannabis for the body.

Psychedelics are an efficient means of expanding the boundaries of thought such that multi-dimensional contemplations become more accessible, but because of their inherently fleeting nature such agents can actually obstruct the development of meaningful understanding. The correct way to use psychedelics as tools is rarely and in very large doses.

Ryan MacFarlane "The correct way to use psychedelics as tools is rarely and in very large doses." I agree. And when doing so, it should be done spiritually not for fun(even though it can be fun, fun must not be the motivator).

i can fairly say i've done every drug, acid shrooms coke meth pcp..... even on the most out of body acid trip, i come to the same conclusions about the universe and how were all connected sitting at home sober doing some deep thinking.

Thanks! Your kind words are appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words! Beautifully put.

14th dimension is the friendzone.

the 10th dim is the observation of the 9th. "take the 9th dim and conceive of it"

I think it's as Daniel said. Because, under this paradigm, we can always view the total 'space' occupied by a dimension as a single point, it stands to reason that, if the 9th dimension is the largest one in this system, we can still view its entirety as consisting of a single point. We'd call the 10th dimension the logical idea that it would be possible to view the entirety of the 9th dimension as a point. There are no other points in this 10th dimension as the 9th consists of everything possible- the 10th is just the conceivable 'space' in which these possibilities 'sit'. There wouldn't be another dimension 'containing' the 10th because the 10th only has one point to hold. It's an incredibly neat theory and I hope that something comes of it but, as ever, you have to take it with a multi-dimensional pinch of salt so all we can do is wait to see what new evidence comes up. : )

I was actually thinking that exact same thing about the 10th and the 0th dimension. They seem like they could be the same thing, which is pretty cool to think about philosophically.

The idea are abstract in theory. I see the Zero not as a dimension but the first cause. The paradigm is no dimension exist there. Once you have matter energy you get the higher dimension from it. There could be Eleven dimensions if you add a second dimension of time which string theory includes.

No politics, no race, no name calling, no insulting, a couple of compliments between total strangers, and general respect, with a little bit of theoretical learning tossed in. The best comment and replies in the history of RU-vid. Oh, wait, 3 years ago. If you guys are still around in this dimension, man, things went to shit.

Well, ignorance is the majority...

So true

is that 5th dimensional thinking

I mean, we HAVE detected gravitational pull from other universes. So your bio/chem/physics teacher is an idiot, and probably shouldn't be- wait... you said teacher, not professor, I'm sorry. Okay, never mind, I guess they can still teach. Our standards are much higher for professors, but teacher? That's fine. lol

Max Willson they call it the matrix

That's all about life, "get to next level"...

You mean this world? Where 99% are poor, and the 1% are rich. What kind of simulation does that even amount to? Who the fuck wants to simulate being poor? The God / designer of this video game ought to get his ass down here, and die on a cross for the sins of the world. Oh but we tried that, and all it did was make things worse. It took us through the Dark Age and into the Inquisition.

like a better version of a sims game and gta?

Damnnn! That's just what i'm thinking when i watched the video!

Exactly! And this is what happens right from the start; compare a 1D line to a 2D plane, already a giant leap in the amount of information that can be represented. Then compare a 2D plane to a 3D space, an even larger jump in complexity. Since each additional dimension is orthogonal to the ones that have come before, that process of increased complexification does indeed continue until we reach what Max Tegmark calls the Ultimate Ensemble or the Level IV Multiverse: the “everything”.

Don't worry. In 5th dimension your other self understood the video. Cheers

@@ortherner sarcasm is just another dimension not all perceive it the same.

Good question! The frames per second is defined by Planck's constant. This means that "between" the frames has no meaning, because nothing can be shorter/smaller than a Planck length or a unit of Planck time.

noobslayeru Yeah, that's because you have to accept that space-time is quantized to understand the theory

10thdim What evidence do we have that space time exists other then an objects frequency or speed. As far as I knew it took a physical phenomenon in order for there ever be a frequency and speed so I dont understand how space time is present as a quantum explanation before there is ever something physical to create a interaction in reality.

10thdim The plank length is not the smallest/shortest thing possible, it is simply a theoretical limit to our measurement capabilities. A more accurate definition of a 4th dimension that noobslayeru suggests is time combined with our 3d space, in which time is a temporal dimension and not a spatial one. A spatial 4th dimension can be though of as 3D 'frames', but it would be very similar to our comparison between 2 and 3 dimensional space, in which we don't view 3 dimensions as a frame-set of 2 dimensions, but as a complete system.

noobslayeru the video is bullshit
