As a personal idiosyncrasy, I happen to believe the scene in Daniel --the hand writing on the wall-- is an eyewitness account related through the ages in Jewish scriptures. I am immediately drawn to presume the body to which the hand was attached, though not visible to the folks in Belshazzar's palace party central, exists in a spacetime not readily available to our sensing due to the way God made us for the present spacetime we inhabit. BUT, the fact that one in the 'other' spcaetime can reach into our spacetime and write on the palace wall tells me there is some 'convergence', some shared dimensional variability. In brane theory, higher dimensional branes (more complex, if you will) can 'project' onto lower dimensional branes, and I suspect something akin to that occurred in Babylon long ago.

So, let us also state that in whatever spacetime the body stood, that spacetime would also be a part of OUR UNIVERSE else there would be no convergence, no intersection without catastrophe. THE Universe is indeed more odd than we have yet to imagine, much less 'parallel' universes of only imaginary existence.

Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Indeed. And it was a "miraculous" event.

FWIW, I have no problem with miracles. To me, all they are basically is "local effects" (i.e., within our 4D spacetime) of a "non-local cause" arising outside 4D spacetime. That is to say, miracles — and this miracle in particular — actually provide us with "evidence" that another "timelike" dimension exists "beyond" the 3 of space and 1 of time we humans normally experience.

I'm not sure the best way to imagine this new-found "timelike dimension." Which for all practical purposes is entirely beyond our merely human experience and understanding of time, compared to which it stands for timelessness, or Eternity....

Here's an intriguing question: Is this "dimension" hierarchically "vertical" to "us?" Or could it be the case that our 4D spacetime block is "nested" into it?

You wrote, "THE Universe is indeed more odd than we have yet to imagine, much less 'parallel' universes of only imaginary existence."

Indeed. Why do people construct imaginary worlds when they don't seem to understand the real world of which they are parts and participants in the first place?

Thank you ever so much for your outstanding essay/post, dear brother in Christ!
