Are we ultimately doomed to think in dimensions?

Question

Even our imaginations seem to be dimensionally bound, in one form or another. Can we ever truly transcend our dimensional constraints/cage of existence (while still alive).

Answer 1

I believe that we can come up with clever constructs to represent different numbers of dimensions and whatnot, but no, I don't see any way to think non-dimensionally. I, personally, cannot think of anything non-dimensionally except for a non-extended object, such as a geometric point, and even there it is described as being at a coordinate inside of some number of dimension(s).

Answer 2

My head hurts from trying to think outside of my dimensional constraints.

Answer 3

I've tried constraining my thinking to one dimension and every time I tried, I always failed. So it's always three to multiple dimension thinking for me. No one will be able to cage me yet. No matter what constraints they use.

Answer 4

Do you remember having weird experiences as a child? It was not until we told our parents that the spell was broken. We would tell our parents what we were experiencing and they would tell us we were crazy. Once we were told what we were seeing was impossible we believed it and the magic stopped. I am trying to keep my kids from feeling bound. My son wanted to fly to the moon. I told him to do it. He said he could not fly. I said why not, have you tried? It may be too late for us but there is hope with the children. Do not kill their imaginations and their dreams, please.

Answer 5

I stand on a soap box daily and fill my little ones with the big things like .......Have you ever thought of being a Doctor, Dentist, Farmer, Baker, Police Officer, Lawyer, Construction Worker, Welder, Selling Cars, Business Owner, McDonald's worker, and like me a great teacher......They laugh at me and we go back to playing....Daily imagination at work~ to make them see they can do and be what they want to be.........

Never stop dreaming, never stop being the creator of your dreams, and most of all merge with your consciousness with the unconscious dreams~ dreams do come true, make them happen....

Answer 6

First off, just what's so bad about thinking in dimensions?

Secondly, I'm still waiting for your dissertation on the alternatives.

Thirdly,....oh hell, the first 2 reasons are sufficient argument here.

Answer 8

Interesting..

I'm trying to think of a dimensionless answer. Give me a few years time. (Oops).

Answer 9

we can do anything there are no limits. if we want to bend the laws of science then we dam will. its just really really really hard to do that stuff.

Answer 10

yes we can. the method is secret.
