We are aware of the outside Universe, but what if it really is all inside a multiverse we are unaware of.?

Theoretical Physicists have mentioned there are 11 dimensions, so 10 other ones, and 1 we are aware of now, but what is a dimension? Is it a replication of life in this solar system, in different spatial environment, or is it completely different, I dont personally believe in other dimensions. How is it that, The solar system, in this galaxy, is in this Universe. How is it that the solar system is the precise way it is, to sustain life, this didn't happen by chance, it was organized somehow, maybe the human race on Earth is a cosmic test, our brains are wired to not perceive or detect other forms of matter not yet discovered.

i dont understand what you are asking. How is our solar system in the Milky Way contained within our Universe? because it is. everything that we can see or have a chance of seeing, is our universe. theoretically speaking; things outside of our universe cannot be seen or understood, because if they could be seen or understood they would be "a part of" our universe.



we live in 4 dimensions and i have heard about there being other dimensions that we cannot perceive. i do believe in this.

if you think about it, we dont fully understand our own consciousness.

if a fly lands on your clothes, it just knows that it has landed on some soft cotton.

it doesnt comprehend that the clothes are yours and that you wear them for protection etc etc..

you and the fly can both perceive the clothes but only you really know why the clothes are there.



i think the same applies to humans and the universe; we see planets, stars, black holes but we dont quite fully understand the meaning of these things.

therefore, it is likely that they are apart of a larger scheme that we dont and possibly cant comprehend.

A dimension is put into place by physicists to ultimately describe the existence of all aspects of nature. That's their main goal.



Some dimensions exist to portray small molecular forces and they could be thought about as negligible, but important for life regardless



The human existence is here due largely to fate, and a random association of proteins. Also the earth and it's basis for supporting carbon-based organisms is a big (but not complete) fluke.



Our brains are not wired in a god-like way. I'm agreeing. But it's the scientific method that will always guide humanity to a greater understanding. Also, accidental discoveries occasionally happen to allow rapid discoveries and progressions in science.



To get in touch with the universe, you need to stay tuned, or get the powers that be to spend money on material science, and solve the worlds fundamental problems, present and future. Energy supply and demand, lack of a proper ecology, world harmony, etc, could all be solved with passion and hard work



Once these core issues are gone, we can proceed to engaging the rest of the cosmos

I think consciousness is the key to what these theories are suggesting. We can't observe anything past this dimension unless we are spiritually aware. I'm not talking about being religious here, rather knowing that consciousness is what is the driver behind this whole interstellar and inter-dimensional superhighway.



Maybe there are way more dimensions that what the physicists theorize. I know some theorize that every thing that we can observe, the stars, galaxies, etc...are manifestations of these higher dimensions. It's really deep stuff and I can't even understand the mathematics involved. But I know there has to be something to this consciousness thing. Stephen Hawking calls it the mind of God, Michio Kaku call's it the unified-field...I can't think of any name for this force, but all I know is after my first out-of-body experience, I became a believer in a higher power.

We don't live in a one dimensional world. We live in a multidimensional world. Dimensionality has nothing to do with multiple Universes.



In fact, we can perceive 4 dimensions - 3 being physical space and 1 being time.



The idea of multiple Universes is certainly an interesting idea, but there is absolutely zero evidence for it.

NO, darling, quantum calculations supposing as many as 11 dimensions DOESN'T use one for OURS, rather one seems directional, next perpendicular in some plane containing that line, and the next along location concept a perpendicular off the plane, usually also touching the line. Perhaps before capable of existence, the dimension of time is foundational, warning how more precisely knowing location of a thing takes certainty of the time when it is there or accuracy in knowing when makes location less certain.

Between these dimensions, a smallish view of quantum supposes places where certain energies disburse or diffuse towards an explanation of parallel universality and supporting mid range of sting theory on waves in construction elements of matter for conversion with energy (I'm not quantum minded). Contrary to a prior answer, Electro-magnetic force easily gets stronger than gravity in shorter range, weak and strong atomic forces are counted as even later in destructive universe for extreme power at extremely close distance. Such interactions are better counted as evidence on existence of more dimensions than any dimension in themselves. High dimensions seem to explain spontaneous origin of universe and parallels unfolding upon late dimensions to develop anew its basics for location where we don't see and may be on a different rate of time, though common idea is similar due near identical structure as our minds put it for allowing existence and matter.

Taken as our time and created in a very small space, our universe shows every sign of being very uniform out into dimensions we barely theorize, that is contrasted with simple physics NOT meaning our "solar system" suits life. You seriously need to review the many conditions in aid of life developing some intelligence. If you can stir an interest beyond classic schooled items of information, it greatly improves chance of insight. For me it just is not so clear as my seeing what number may be my early quit of dimensions, ha! Oh yeah, discovery deep into dimensions shall be by sensor, not a brain, but hardly that minds made the wiring of us to lack this perception. You seem to labor under excuses for not thinking; so, try cracking open a dictionary for synonyms taking you through perceive, understand, comprehend, analise, appreciate, conceive... As normal high function brain activity exposes your shortcomings, just focus on that to make it a skill, no excuses necessary. Those guys had mathematics above Arithmetic for sharing with other smart folk (who likely had various mental gaps, just fewer and of less breadth, sorry). You made a mistake getting in the face of so wide an audience, fool.
