Perhaps a slightly more comprehensible article about this than the one SunkenCiv posted the other day. But no less mind-blowing!

If we get an additional dimension, am I going to have to buy more clothes?

So, 13.75 illion years ago ... there was nothing and the nothing became tired of being nothing so the nothing which had neither thought or reason, decided to be something. Then without energy or purpose all of the nothing gathered at one tiny (though not measurable as there was nothing to measure with) spot and everything then was created out of the nothingness. Then the nothing, having become something, expanded far and wide then became ordered by the rules of nothing so that all of the nothing, now everything might follow the previously nonexistent rules. Further, with the addition of the magic of time (one of the dimensions of the nothing) the universe became ordered and arraigned itself so that at a random place, random bits of energy and material would link together and become life.

What a giant leap of faith if you ask me.

I have a real problem with "scientists" who state unequivocally what the universe was like 14,000,000,000 years ago. Most are not real scientists since they begin with a preconceived notion and employ a lot of fantasy and wishful thinking in order to sell people (and fund $$$!) their theories.

Then, next month, they discover a tiny wrinkle which refutes everything they said. However, they will be just as unequivocal in the certainty of their next theory.

BTW, did you know that coffee is bad for you? Oh, wait. Now, it's good for you. Oops. My bad. Now, it's bad for you... until the next "study".

“Mr. Science has the really big question today, Bobby. ‘Was the universe created by a big bang?’ Hmmm. You know the Mr. Science motto, ‘Doing Is Knowing!”. We have here a five pound can of black powder. Let’s set it off and see! Wow. That blew a hole right through the roof. Are you OK camerman Steve? Once again, science triumphs over superstition! ‘Was the universe created by a big bang?’ The answer is ‘No, Insurance was created by a big bang.’ Remember viewers, Mr. Science will be at the Harrison Street Mall this Saturday from noon to four demonstrating The Big Bang Theory. Look for me in the hearing aid store.”

So let’s expand. IF you could travel to the very point at which this universe came into being, what you would find is an almost impenetrable wall because the force that got through it from some other universe was so small, so heavy, so compact, and so strong, and the point of entry so minute, that you could never get back through it. The shockwave from THAT is still moving, expanding outward, expanding this universe. ONE tiny thing that contained the entire set of building blocks for this universe blew a hole in that wall, pushing something before it and pulling something more after it and the wall closed behind it.

It was quite like shooting a bullet from a handgun into ice. When the bullet hits the ice, it spins rapidly giving it a spiral effect. The bullet spins. So whatever came through did not enter a heated or superheated space. It, itself, was superheated. It hit extreme cold and blew up sending anything around it into a circular explosive motion creating a spiral. Everything in this cosmos has a spiral effect. I am saying that the universe itself is a spiral, not just the galaxies it spawns. Super hot into icy cold.
It can, and will be, done again with something LIKE the Hadron collider...though I don’t think we have even come close to making something powerful enough to have that effect.
ONE eensy-weensy superheated something will blow through the edge of this universe into an icy cold void and begin a new one. You won’t see it. You won’t hear it. You won’t even know it. It might have already been done many times by someones/somethings we can only imagine.
And whatever goes there, will be on the same order as this because this contains all that there is from the previous universe and the next will contain exactly the same thing. The only difference will be what form life takes.
I believe in G-d and there is no heresy or blasphemy in what I am saying. If you would like to try an experiment, grab a sheet of paper and a ton of black lead pencils. Put a dot on the sheet of paper. THAT is the first universe.Then continue dotting the paper until it is completely covered. Do it again to the same sheet of paper over and over until you run out of pencils. You could conceivably do that in YOUR forever until all the pencils in the world were used up...but the point is, after you have run out of pencils, can you possibly find that ONE dot that you started with?
Then try to imagine infinity.
The mind that controls the hand that holds he pencil that makes the first dot is G-d, and it isn’t a matter to me of if, but when, and that will always be the question. The mystery of eternity.
Yep. Call me crazy. It’s okay. I have been called worse.

>> Mureika and Stojkovic think the Universe will eventually be promoted again, to a five-dimensional state, at some point in the future. <<

So the multi-dimensional universes of Hawkins and string theorists is now out of vogue? Or are they not saying that the universe is “gaining” dimensions, so much as its dimensions are permitting intercourse between positions?

And yes I know “intercourse...positions” , har dee har har, probe uranis, whatever.

but it also had a primordial state of dimensions.

I'm always hesitant to swallow anything non-repeatable that points to M-Theory.

But that's only because I consider M-Theory to be grant-gathering bullsquish.
