Are we unable to comprehend other dimensions either within or outside our Universe?

Answer 1

Depends on your mind and how it works. Some will comprehend and others won't.

What is the point of your question?

Answer 2

I have to ask what you mean by the word "Dimension"?
If you accept it as a measurement as in the first three dimensions plus time as the fourth dimension it is different than if you think of it like the scifi writers do with new dimensions equalling new worlds or universes.
I find myself unable to comprehend the meaning of and the implications of extra dimensions. The idea in quantum mechanics that the position of an electron can be described in the three dimensions is fine but that another electron would need to be described in three different dimensions gives me trouble. Worse is that each electron after the first requires three new dimensions. Adding a fourth dimension or more to describe them(like time) does not seem to work or help because then you get one electron existing at differrent points through all time. Too complicated too fast.
Hyperspaces and with the M-Theory presentation of 11 dimensions is more than my midtwentieth century brain is comfortable with.

So my answer is that _I_ am unable to comprehend more than 4 dimensions inside or outside of our universe

But in the idea that each new thing like angles or heat or mass and it's measurement is an added dimension is not a problem.

Answer 3

I am an archaeologist and global climate change scientist, and I have pondered this question myself. In a practical sense, I think the answer to your question is, yes.

It is not that easy to comprehend things (like geologic time and the physical dimensions of the known universe) that exist on scales quantitatively and qualitatively more vast than anything we experience as part of human life.

What life experience can possibly give someone an intuitive understanding of a light year? As a unit of measure, a light year is nothing like feet and meters.

Then there are questions about the very nature of time and space, such as whether they might even be the same thing (with time being something that is created and exists only in our minds in order to make sense of the distance between spatially discrete events).

I do not think that human psychology is naturally set up to easily understand such concepts.

Answer 4

In the State most People are in, yes.
There are Parallel Dimensions around us right now.
One is the Mental Realm.
The Other is the Spiritual Realm.
Most of the Time you cannot see either one.
Eveynow and then People (for some reason) get a Glimpse of the Spiritual Realm.

We are Able to, but hardly ever in the Right Shape to do it.

Answer 5

Well, my little giraffe brain is barly grasping E=MC squared ... everytime I think I got it, well, 10 more questions come up ... and you don't even want to visit my imagination when I focus on the Big Bang or Quantum physic's

Now astronomers are telling me that God exists because of the Big Bang --- that the matter for the Stars and Planets traveled faster than the speed of light --- Ah doesn't E=MC squared mean that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light --- that's what Einstein meant, NO?

Answer 6

We're trapped inside a large, black balloon.
