When you just can’t come up with a good fart joke.
A father was explaining the creation of the universe from a single point to three dimensions to a 5 year old boy. OK Johnny, so your butt hole is like a single point, kinda the center of the universe and nothing else exists. Then you fart and the fart expands in all directions. That's how the universe was created. What, Johhny? No let's leave theology out of this discussion.

I just don’t see this as a radical idea. At first glance, it isn’t inconsistent with the Bible. Genesis says God created the heavens and the earth, that the earth was without form and empty, and that God separated light from dark.

Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension?

To a consciousness moving at light speed,wouldn't it seem like the universe is a point? Time slows down and space contracts as one approaches the speed of light.

Consciousness is the key to warp travel. Dune demonstrated this with drugs (spice). Consciousness need not escape the physical dimension, rather, it learns to rule it. Consciousness is one dimensional, capable of touching every aspect of creation instantly.

I’ve been pushing that notion for more than a decade. I’ve even fabricated a way to describe it ... a where—for space—and a when—for time. Everything that is exists in some continuum of a ‘where/when’. Light, as it traqvels across the universe, exists always in the present of when it was emitted, and travels a linear/present ‘where/when’. Time is a volume ... and just so folks will know I’m a kook, God uses technology ... very sophisticated technology.
