Extra-Dimensional Force: The Consciousness

I can't sleep so forgive for this madness.

The Physicist Freeman Dyson said “The more I examine the Universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the Universe is, in some sense, must have known we were coming
.” This one the freakiest thing I've ever heard. And I'm beggining to think that he's right. I'm not going to talk about God or anything in the same level, rather I realize that whatever it is that we assume to be him, could be just an element of the physical world, which we cannot experience in full.

Scientist think that we live in higher dimensional world. They say that it's possible that the other dimensions (apart from the three or four that we know about) have collapsed into something that is really really small. Kind of like a dwarf sister of the big world that we live in. Now what if, these dimensions aren't really beyond our world but we face them every day, we just cant experience them. Experience requires the consciousness to acknowledge the presence of an object. If out mind is limited to process only those with three dimensions then even if we are faced with something that is extra-dimensional, then we wouldn't know about its existence. Snakes couldn't know about the existence of sound because they don't have ears, therefore they can't experience it. Maybe for us it's the same. We can't know about higher dimensions because we are not equipped with the right physiology to experience it. Maybe it's not about the absence of sensation, but it could be that our minds just can't process it.

Plato said in his allegory of the cave that it is possible to experience a higher form of reality. You could go out of the cave (the reality which you are familiar of) for a certain period of time, make an observation, go back to the cave, tell the people what you saw, and make fool out of yourself. How can this be possible if our perception is only limited to three dimensions? Maybe the answer lies withing the nature of consciousness itself. I have theory that the mind is an extra-dimensional force that is necessary in the universe. Say what? I mean that the human consciousness is a part of this interaction of forces, and that the reason why the universe seem to be tailor-made for man is because man's cognizance is a necessary force in the universe.

Quantum theory says the existence and properties of all objects are dependent on an observer acknowledging the presence (or properties) of that object. The position of a particular particle depends on how a scientist with very huge microscopes (google the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics) would measure it. Man needs to be in the universe to observe the universe. And everything, like the sun, oxygen, water, were placed in the world so that it could be hospitable for an observer. What's worrying is that the universe is like providing man with the predicaments so that it would have sense of what to observe. It could be argued that the purpose of the earth revolving around the sun, the moon revolving around the earth, the earth spinning, and the earth being tilted, is to give us a sense time. Day and night gives us the idea that moments pass by, and the seasons give us an awareness of cycles, and so on. We are now able to observe a fourth dimension (time) through its manifestations.

I'm not really sure if I'm making sense right now. Well, at least I got it out of my system.

Ung nabasa kong isang novel ni Dean Koontz (From the corner of his eye), may mga characters dun na may ability silang either kumuha ng items from another dimension or mgpdala ng kahit ano sa dimension nila papunta sa ibang dimension. Tapos nabanggit dun ung Quantum theory at na ung iba’t-ibang dimension daw nagooccupy ng parehong space.

May instance dun na ung bata naglalakad sa ulan pero hindi xa nababasa. Tapos nung tinanong xa ng nanay nya kng pano nya ginawa un, sabi nya naglakad lang daw xa dun sa ibang “lugar” na hindi umuulan.

Kung totoo man talaga yang tungkol sa different dimensions occupying the same space, kailngan tlga nting magtake ng drugs na pangpatalas ng perception at awareness ntin para tlagang mag register sa senses ntin ung existence ng mga ibang dimensions na yan.

Bka ung mga tinatawag na “addict” at "baliw," napuntahan na nila o nakapag interact na sila sa kng sino man o kung ano man ang meron sa ibang dimension. Tapos kaya pla ung iba sknila unusually paranoid o suspicious kc nameet nila ung evil persona nung taong pinagdududahan o inaakusahan nila dun sa ibang dimension.
