A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension
Imagine a you are sitting next to a pond. Now imagine such as how the fish in that pond would view the world around them. Living their entire lives in the pond, the fish would believe that their “universe” consisted of the murky water and the lilies. Spending most of their time foraging on the bottom of the pond, they would be only dimly aware that an alien world could exist above the surface. The nature of that world would be beyond their comprehension.
You could sit only few inches from the fish, yet be separated from them by an immense chasm. You and the fish lives would be spent in two distinct universes, never entering each other’s world, yet were separated by only the thinnest barrier, the water’s surface.
Now imagine that you are in a rainstorm next to the same pond. You notice that the pond’s surface was bombarded by thousands of tiny raindrops. The pond’s surface would eventually become turbulent, and the water lilies were being pushed in all different directions. To the fish the water lilies would be getting pushed around by themselves without anything pushing them. Since the water around them would appear invisible, much like the air and space around us, they would be baffled that the water lilies could move around by themselves.
Now imagine that there is fish “scientists” that would concoct clever invention called a “force” in order to hide their ignorance. Unable to comprehend that there could be waves on an unseen surface, they would conclude that lilies could move without being touched because a mysterious invisible being called a force acted between them. They might give this illusion impressive names (such as action-at-a-distance. Many scientists believe we are like the fish swimming contentedly in that pond. We live our lives in our own “pond,” confident that our universe consists of only the see and touch. Like the fish, our universe consists of what is familiar and visible. We smugly refuse admit that parallel dimensions or universes can exist next to ours, just out of our grasp.
One of these dimensions is the 2nd dimension. To the 2 dimensional beings or Flatlanders, our dimension is incomprehensible to the Flatlanders. The 3rd dimension is to complex for the Flatlanders brain.
Flatlanders can not have a digestive tract simply because the being would be split in half.
“There is a fifth dimension beyond that known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, science and superstition and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is a dimension of imagination. It is an area we call The Twilight Zone!”

For as long as they have existed, humans have had ideas about what the universe holds. Through the millennia they have come to know quite a bit about what is out there, yet the universe is so vast, the greatest human minds have not been able to find everything. However, thanks to a relatively new theory called panpsychism, there may just be an answer. David J Chalmers, an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist, has written a research paper titled, “Panpsychism and Panportopsychism,” that may allow some more understanding on what really is out there, through his use of ethos, logos, and diction.
Everything is larger than life; not real but hyperreal, leading us into the imaginary worlds of
The ocean is mysterious to mankind. The unfathomable vastness of the ocean intrigues humanity into exploring it. In life, the immense possibilities that lie in the future compel us to reach for the stars. In the poem “The Story” by Karen Connelly, an individual willingly swims into deep waters even though they are fearful of what may exist in the waters. The swimmer later finds out that their fears were foolish, which illustrates the human tendency to venture into the unknown. The theme conveyed in this poem is that life is like a rough, uncertain, uncontrollable ocean that we must find get through with experience.
In contrast to The Many Worlds Interpretation is John Wheelers Anthropic principle, which states that an observer is needed to cause the collapse of a wavefuntion, and not just branes bouncing into each other. A good example of this idea is the experiment of Schrodinger’s cat. In this trial, a cat is put in a sealed box with a flask of poison and radioactive matter. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (just one atom decaying) the flask will shatter and the poison will kill the cat. This makes the cat simultaneously alive AND dead until you open the box and make an observation.
Watch a leaf flow down stream; watch its behavior within the water… Perhaps it will sit upon the surface, gently twirling along with the current, dancing around
Imagine yourself walking in the middle of a desert, which shows no signs of life regardless of which ever direction your eyes turn to. When, suddenly, you see something reflecting light on the ground. You walk to it, and find yourself looking at a ‘camera’. Now what can possibly come to your mind as soon as you look at it? How can a camera, possibly get into the middle of a desert; which you are sure about is not capable of sustaining any life forms? Intriguing is it not? Now,...
Finally, video games addiction should be taken seriously because it affects gamers’ lives. Each individual should take prevention measures for this community problem and help people who are struggling with this addiction in order to avoid the harmful consequences. In time when computers are taking great part of our time we should try to keep in touch with the reality regardless of the appeal of the virtual life.
This paper discusses the need to discover new properties of space to better understand consciousness, and impossibility of doing so
"BR: In every sense we create our own reality, and this goes much further than most people aware of or are willing to admit. The reason most people can't see this is because everyone is creating their own reality, but 99.9% of them are creating the same one-using
An underlying theme present throughout the series is the possibility that our existence is not the only one. According to current theories in physics, it is entirely possible that our universe is just one of many universes f...
The boat floats on the water according to Archimedes Principle which states an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. The force applied downwards by earth’s gravity coupled with the upward force of buoyancy allows the boat to float. The boat consists of separate components each having their own center of mass, or center of gravity. The boat, the occupant(s), the engine or oars, and the fishing gear all combine to create a whole unit. The center of mass for the whole system is the average of the center of mass of each component. These components may move relative to each other but as a whole cannot change its velocity or momentum without the application of an external force. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest unless a force is exerted upon it. For the boat to move through the water a force must be exerted upon it. The forces that move the boat can be the current of the water, the rowing of the oars, the engines propeller, and wind. As the boat moves through the water a Doppler Effect is created. The Doppler Effect applies to all
Looking up at the stars, as our long-ago ancestors did, one can only get a small idea as to the size of the universe. A telescope allowed us to see further and expanded our understanding. Today's research goes even further, and greatly augments our knowledge of the universe. In fact, the universe is so big that no one knows exactly how big it is, because light simply cannot travel fast enough to illuminate it. Now, take that, our one infinitely big universe, and multiply it by infinity. Now, you have the idea of the multiverse, a theory which states that there are a seemingly infinite amount of universes. Life, on the other hand, does not come so infinitely. The multiverse, a theory consisting of several contested explanations, and the anthropic principle, which universes must follow in order to sustain life, are necessary in order to greater understand our own existence, by showing its extreme rarity.
The main area of psychology that is used in relation to eyewitnesses is memory (Lecture, 2014). The most important type of memory used by an eyewitness is their episodic memory (Lecture, 2014). Episodic memory is the memory of an event that you personally experienced (Burton, Westen, & Kowalski, 2012). Eyewitnesses are required to access their episodic memories when assisting police with the events that happened and with helping police identify the offender. In order to retrieve these memories from their episodic memories, an eyewitness has to access two areas of their explicit memory; recall and recognition (Burton, et al., 2012). Recall is consciously bringing events of memory into awareness from long-term memory without the use of a cue (Burton, et al., 2012). An eyewitness would use recall when describing the how the crime occurred in an interview to the police, as well as if they made a testimony in court (Lecture, 2014). Recognition is consciously bringing events of memory into awareness from long-term memory with the use of a cue, such as a line up (Lecture, 2014). An eyewitness would use r...
