The fifth dimension and time traveling
January 2, 2010 Leave a comment
According to string theory there are eleven dimensions. Right now people only know four: length, width, height, and time. There are a lot people out there who want to discover the fifth dimension. But, there is no point in discovering the fifth dimension; because right now we barely understand how to travel through the fourth dimension of time.
You can tell we don’t know how time traveling works. Because whenever people see a movie with time traveling in it, after the movie, people are always arguing in the lobby over the actual way time traveling works and the fake way that was shown in the movie.
After a movie people don’t argue over how traveling works in the first three dimensions. “Oh man that person shouldn’t of been able to turn left.” “I don’t know how they where able to avoid running into that 3-D object.” “Hey wasn’t it weird how that car went straight.”
I don’t think it is dumb that we don’t know how to time travel. I think it is dumb that we don’t know how to talk about time travel.
That’s why I don’t think we need to discover the fifth dimension. We barely understand the fourth dimension. Just imagine how complicated it would be traveling through the fifth dimension, or at least explaining how traveling through the fifth dimension works.
Maybe it’s a good thing that we don’t know how to travel through time. As hard as it is to get someone to understand how time traveling works. It’s even harder to get someone to understand that they can’t go back in time because they will screw everything up!! Some heroes say, “But that bad guy went back in time.” You tell that hero, “NO! I don’t care what that bad guy did.”
