Why do you think force manifestations are functions of distance?

Question

Beyond the accepted underlying force carrying particle exchanges and interactions, that is. .... Are we lacking the fundamental understanding of "dimensionality"?

Answer 1

I don't actually think this, but it may well be that I lack fundamental understanding of dimensionality.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Scientists are working on it, if solved it would unit "quantum mechanics" and "general relativity". (See reference)

To answer your question:

No I do not think so -- some information are missing to complete and connect the different working models we have.

To say we do not understand is partially correct, because we only have senses in the space time dimensions to verify what we could with maths and formulas.

Here is an analogy:

A blind person could have a lot of understanding about a painting he had never saw and be able to tell you all that he knows in words, but seeing the painting with your own eyes would add another layer of understanding not attainable with words alone. The imagery understanding may not help you in the subject of art or painting, the words on the other hand may do so when you apply them to those subjects.

Answer 4

okay so maybe i AM an idiot! but i'm not so sure that distance or time have anything to do with particle exchanges and interactions. maybe it has more to do with probabilities. hasn't it been decided that time and distance show no constraints on particles?---what sort of dimensions are you referring to here? the three or four we can perceive plus the other seven or eight that prof. kaku speaks of?...or the more metaphysical parallel worlds? i see no reason for the two to be mutually exclusive....it's way easier to visualize this stuff than to talk about it.....sorry, maybe i'm more shook up from the wreck than i thought. i'm not sure that made any sense.

Answer 5

this will go back to your quantum mechanical wave~ I think the exchange has to be mutual and not resistant to make it fundamental~ more duck
