One of my IB Maths assignments was called "How many pieces?" and its purpose was to investigate the maximum number of pieces obtained after we applied n cuts to a t-dimensional object. For example, for the simplest case of a 1-dimensional object (a line), each new cut will lead to one new piece. It was one of the most interesting projects I have complete till now and I have come up with some really challenging ideas. One of them can be put as a simple question:
Are we an intersection?
Imagine a 2-dimensional space. Now imagine two straight lines (1-dimensional objects) intersecting each other. They intersect at one point we call point of intersection and which is a 0-dimensional object.Now follow the same line of thought but in a 3-dimensional space. Imagine two planes (2-dimensional objects) intersecting each other. They intersect at a straight line we will call straight line of intersection and which is a 1-dimensional object.We can extrapolate these results and table them.
Space Dimension | Objects Dimension | Intersection Dimension |
2 | 1 | 0 |
3 | 2 | 1 |
4 | 3 | 2 |
5 | 4 | 3 |
... | ... | ... |
n+2 | n+1 | n |
Actually, the fourth row is the important one for this post. Our senses can only detect 3 dimensions, no more, no less, which makes us to believe (even though there is the possibility of that not being the truth) that the Universe is made of 3 dimensions.
If we observe the fourth row of the table, we see that the intersection dimension corresponds to exactly 3 dimensions. And now we reach the main point of this post!
Following this reasoning, the conclusion for this post is:
Our Universe might be the intersection between two four-dimensional Universes, in a fifth-dimensional space.
This thought opens the chance of the existence of other Universes similar to ours, resulting from the intersection of two other fourth-dimensional Universes.
Antes de mais nada queria dar os parabéns há criação deste blog que mostra-se desde já muito promissor, e um bem-haja a vocês bem como felicidades ao vosso blog.
ReplyDeleteEm relação ao post queria dizer que se mostrou bastante interessante e revelador, desenvolveste um raciocínio engraçado, elaborado mas claro, gostei bastante João, abraço!
