If there are extra dimension as has been propsed by physicists, could our bodies extend into those dimensions?

Question

Could it be possible that although the part in our 3-D space dies, the part in the other dimensions lives on?

JP: How about any of the other multi-dimensional frameworks. I suspect that M theory is not ultimately correct.

Answer 1

Not likely. The 3 spacial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension have vastly different properties than the rest of the 11d manifold of M Theory. Cohesive existence would be difficult to hypothesize in the other dimensions.

Answer 2

Yes, our body or maybe just our being is in and moves through those other dimensions. We are moving through the first dimension even if we are sitting still. Actually, we are moving through several first dimensions located on the tangents of the Earth's rotation, its revolution around the Sun, and its arc through space. The same is true with the second and third dimensions. Even if we were truly stationary, we would be occupying a place in each of the first three dimensions. My personal belief is that the fourth dimension is time itself. We move through and occupy a point in this dimension regardless of our actions to the contrary. We even move through the first three utilizing this. I think (big speculation) the the fifth dimension maybe inside us. It is either our dreams, our psyche, our ego or id, or or some other component of ourselves. My personal favorite is it is our dreams. Every sentient being may be contributing to the fifth dimension. Who knows. The fifth dimension maybe the forces and bonds that hold each atom and molecule together in the universe. We and every inanimate object may be a part of making it.

Maybe we are asking the wrong question. Maybe we should be looking for the Zeroth dimension.

Answer 3

In String theories these extra dimensions are microscopic, so I really think you should really leave that part out of your question as wrong and word it as so:

Is it possible in a quantum multiverse that we survive even though one copy of us dies?

This topic is called "Quantum Immortality" by philosophers and physicists who have thought about such things. Is it possible: It depends on whether reality is infinite and the nature of identity.

The argument goes like this and has nothing to do with dimensions:

If nature is sufficiently large and varied then exact copies of your brain would exist elsewhere.
( Now as to the nature of identity: If you perfectly reproduced your brain three feet from where it is and destroyed the original ( ala star trek transporter ) would your consciousness continue? If so then this would be analogous to the multiverse situation.

Answer 4

I was once a very large woman but I doubt my body could extend to anything that far. Now asking to get into a seatbelt at six flags was a challenge enough but another universe would have certainly been out of the question.

Answer 5

Think about it. Atoms are mostly space with tiny bits of matter and mostly energy. Photons, neutrons, electrons=energy. They are constantly moving. Molecules are made up of atoms. We are made up of molecules. We are not really solid, but constantly shifting energy. So the answer is, we are already there. And we are part of everythng that ever was or ever will be. Today you might have breathed an oxygen that Buddha also breathed. Wow dude!

Answer 6

they don't have self belief interior a similar way you have self belief. Their perception is a tentative place based on the suited information available and open to alter, yours isn't something greater beneficial than inaccurate superstition And not one of the holy books point out common debris or different dimensions

Answer 7

If string theory is correct, other dimensions exist only on the subatomic scale. So no, we couldn't go on living in another dimension.

Answer 8

Not Likely, most of these dimensions as proposed by physicists only last a fraction of a fraction of a second. nanoseconds to be exact.

Answer 9

Sure. Like, you ever heard of a time slip? It's when you could be walking down the street on any given day and all of a sudden you're a 15-th century French commoner walking around in mud wearing soldier's armor. It's happened before.

Answer 10

I suppose it's possible.... but I would need to see some kind of evidence to support it. Not just hypothesis.

Maybe the "afterlife" dimension is 2D like super paper mario... and we can phase in & out of the 3D world as we would like. Ooooh, squishin goombas!!!
