VPM versus APM

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

This means the fifth dimension would have the topology of a circle with the radius of the order of the Planck length. The Kaluza Klein mechanism simply gives a geometric explanation for the circle. It comes from an actual fifth dimension that has been curled up. This is primary angular momentum in APM, Planck's constant, which unites mass and charge, combined with the spherical constant creates subatomic particles.
This would be identical to a time dimension. In that sense a single fifth dimension is not enough... :D

We cannot directly visualize a hypersphere for the very reason that it is a 4-dimensional object and goes beyond our senses. What we can visualize, however, is a hypersphere in the form of 3-dimensional slices (as is displayed to the left). A hypersphere is in essence an array of 3 dimensional solid spheres that increase and then decrease in size. This would represent our basic conception of the hypersphere, and is shown in the animated picture here.

Wow so your finally starting to see how APM is correct. You may not know it but you just supported APM.
If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.

Define Dimension?

Unread post by Lloyd » Thu May 22, 2008 7:14 pm

- Will you be answering my previous questions about defining DIMENSIONS? I'll repeat the questions.
- How is Dimension defined whereby there can be more than 3? There is length or distance as the first dimension, which is measurable as l^1; there is area, which is measurable as length squared: l^2; and there's volume, measurable as length cubed: l^3. The coordinates in 3-D are perpendicular to each other.

Try this thread, Lloyd. http://thunderbolts.info/wp/forum/phpBB3/v ... ?f=8&t=505 Dimensions Linear Thread - maybe details better discussed there (after you read the thread).
There is something beyond our mind which abides in silence within our mind. It is the supreme mystery beyond thought. Let one's mind and one's subtle body rest upon that and not rest on anything else. [---][/---] Maitri Upanishad
