Scientists Simulate Fourth Spatial Dimension In New Quantum Hall Experiments

If true, communication across long distances would be close to instaneous.

Just guessing...

5.56mm

If they find one more dimension, they can start a band.

You win today's Internet.

The guy from American Pickers was part of the Fifth Dimension? (in the back on the right) ... Who knew?

It seems Quantum Physics is based more on research grants than on anything else.

Ah, no.
Do not pass go.
Do not collect 200 dollars.

A photon crosses spacetime always in the present of it’s creation ...

But, as part of String Theory, the reason we don’t see more than the 4 dimensions we see now. The writer of the original article should have written 5 dimension, as we have 4 visible.

Anyway, we don’t see more than the 4 we do see is that the strings wrap themselves around the other dimensions, so, that they are kept too small for us to view.

Yeh, go get Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe. He can explain it MUCH better than I can.

Brace yourself!

This is gonna be hard, but I think it’s essential to tell you the truth.

I think they’re into Rap now.

My son-in-law has a PhD in Physics and he specializes in Quantum Optics. He co-wrote a paper that was printed in Nature magazine, which for any scientist is a huge deal. He sent my better half and I a copy of it. We read through it a little bit and we looked at each other and asked “Do you understand this?” “Nope.”

[MHGinTN]

I rather choose to say there are variable expressions of the dimensions, with past, present, future being three expressions of dimension Time and linear, planar, and volume being three expressions of dimension Space. Of course there are actually AT LEAST four expressions, since moment and point are real expressions also.

I’ve read it. Some versions of string theory allow for large numbers of dimensions. This article is not about that.

“If they find one more dimension, they can start a band.”

Definitely the funniest thing I have read all day. Thanks :)

[MHGinTN]

Eggs ackley. The growth of certain crystals indicate that they have expression in some greater where/when than what the observer here detects.

WHAAAAT??? Next you'll be telling me Elvis is dead.

Well, he might be a little sick.

“Four dimensions! Ha!”, says John Smallberries.

[Conan the Librarian]

You are, of course, correct, but, someone up stream brought it up.

You had the unhappy misfortune of my clicking on your “reply” link.

What did “John Bigbootay” have to add?
