Does this seam to make any sense? 4 dimension?

Question

i have a thought i'd like to share. bear with me here.
we all know there are 3 dimensions x y & z or width hieght and depth. but what about size? could size itself be a 4rth dimension...
You may remember a plastic model in school of a molicule. it has a nucleus and electrons that fly around it. now think about the model of our universe. hmm looks the same with suns and planets.... could it be? is our universe a small part of something much bigger, a whole other life happening in a larger size?
think about it..... am i crazy...... people said Eistien was nuts..

Answer 1

The key characteristic of a dimension is that it cannot be described in terms of other dimensions. It's irreducible. No amount of height and width information will tell you how deep something is.

That's what's wrong with your size idea. We could describe changes in size by describe the change in the height, width, and depth of the parts, or the changes in distance between them, and so on. It might be less convenient than just using one reference number, but it still means your 'size' dimension isn't really providing completely new information.

Which isn't to say that your idea has no value. Sometimes physicists and mathematicians DO choose different ways of describing the same things because it is easier. For example, instead of height, width, and depth, sometimes they use distance, the angular direction on a horizontal circle and the angular direction away from the horizontal plane. Believe it or not, for some calculations this is a WAY easier way to think of the universe.

So it goes.

Answer 2

It could be considered the 5th dimension, the fourth is commonly considered time (how an object moves through time)

If you really want people to think your nuts, consider this idea: Perhaps the Molecules worked together so perfectly that the one who invented those decided to model the solar system and galaxies the same way.

People would call you crazy even though the way molecules and stars are put together are nearly the same. But think about that one for a bit :)

Answer 3

Time is surely the 4th dimension. And it is not static. They have actually proved that one sub-atomic particle has occupied 2 spaces at the same time, then has been nowhere at another time. Now that just doesn't make sense if matter cannot be created or destroyed, does it? But it does if you believe it can traverse backwards and forwards in time. Try to figure out how to graph that one out! Now THAT may make you sound a bit crazier to some friends.

Answer 4

No I don't think size can be a dimension. Since Height, Width, and Depth makes Size.

Answer 5

The fourth dimension is time. We really should stop calling our world 3-dimensional.

Molecules being compared to the solar system goes back to Newton comparing them to billiard balls. But now we know it's much more complex than that (but I don't pretend to understand it!).

Take this with a grain of salt: I really like your thinking: you're at a great beginning. Whatever Reality is, I believe it's beyond our minds to comprehend, but some of us have to keep trying :-)

Answer 6

There are actually 11 dimensions, if Steven Hawkings is correct in his "Theory of Strings." Check it out for yourself.

Answer 7

my cousin told me that the fourth dim could maybe be the supradimension where time is flexible. where you can actually manipulate it and travel like a timemachine. he could be wrong, but it's an interesting theory.

Answer 8

yeah i like to think that theres more dimensions out there, but wat about this

if "some1" invented all of this then who invented them? Yeah!

which kinda says with logic bein 1 where do you get somethin from 0?? lol

Answer 9

seams like words
that i often heards

Answer 10

smoke another one buddy!!
