Time Travel

Dear Readers,

I feel like talking about time travel. To recap a little from my blog post Gravity, Science and the Spirit World, there are two main theories of time. First is the Newtonian theory that time is constant, always flowing in one direction at a steady speed that we all experience.

Einstein's B-theory of time states that time is actually relative, that people experience time differently, particularly if they are traveling at opposing speeds. This theory also says that direction of movement orients this relativity.

 For example in very simplistic terms: imagine that you are in a room with someone. That is the moment where you meet and are now in the same place in time. When your companion leaves, that person is moving away from you, placing them in your past, existing in your memories. Yet, if they start moving towards you again, then they are now in your future. They are not with you now, but if they keep moving towards you then in the future they will be with you again.

So, if time is both relative and linear, it implies that events that occur are fixed. For if the past exists, then the future does as well. Also, science has helped to prove Enstein's theory as object that grow closer to the speed of light, which is a constant speed, then time moves slower for them. This has inspired the theoretical particle called a Takyon which moves faster than the speed of light, and thus moves backwards through time. On top of that, we can see that choices make these events, which makes our choices already made, but we have to come to understand why we made them.

It was The Oracle from Matrix Revolutions that said, "No one can see past a choice that they don't understand." Which brings us into the theories of time travel: Fixed Timeline, Dynamic Timeline, and Multiverse Timeline.

Harry Potter saving himself from Dementors with a Patronus charm

The Fixed Timeline theory states that time is so completely set, that going back in time causes the same results. Good examples of this in cinema include Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where Harry came to the epiphany "I knew I could do it all this time, because I'd already done it... Does that make sense?", and The Terminator, where John Conner was only conceived because a robot from the future was sent back in time to kill him before he was born.

Marty McFly ceasing to exist in Back to the Future

Next is the Dynamic Timeline where paradoxes and loops are created. A clear example of this is Back to the Future where Marty McFly begins erasing himself and his family due to his actions. Thus making a paradox, himself, that the universe begins to erase.

Another movie embraced this paradox idea, Donnie Darko. Now, I would consider Donnie Darko a closed loop. Here is a SPOILER ALERT! Before I continue, I should make clear that this is mostly just interesting ideas about what goes on when a time loop is created. To use some quotes from the fictional book Philosophy of Time Travel used and quoted in the movie, the "Tangent Universe" is this loop time pocket created by time folding back onto itself. "If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks. Eventually it will collapse upon itself, forming a black hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence." I would clarify here, that it only seems to collapse and destroy all existence trapped within the loop.

There are some interesting ideas from the movie, like the portal through time, or "Tangent Vortex" is compared to the medium of water, kind of like the event horizon of worm holes in the Stargate series. It also calls items that pass through this tangent vortex as "Artifact[s]". These objects are usually metal, and it seems as though if they pass into the primary universe and kill someone, then some of the main events within the loop or tangent universe revolve around what would happen if they lived instead.

Donnie Darko's liquid spear.

Thus making that individual the "Living Receiver" who, because they are the focus of this tangent universe, can even become capable of seeing the liquid spear, or spirits of people making choices and leading people within the tangent universe. Along with this, the living receiver is haunted by "The Manipulated Dead", who is someone who dies within the tangent universe and is tied to the living receiver.

In this movie, the manipulated dead is a giant bunny named Frank. This is clearly a reference to the movie Harvey where there is the question as to whether or not Harvey exists or if the only man who sees him is crazy. Alas, Schizophrenia is a subject for a distant future's post. Anyway, Frank becomes tied to Donnie, the living receiver, because Donnie killed him.

Despite all of these intriguing aspects of this tangent universe, all that is left when it collapses on itself is the artifact, in this case an engine from an airplane that crashed out of the sky, which manifests in the primary universe mysteriously. "Ancient myth tells us of the Mayan Warrior killed by an Arrowhead that had fallen from a cliff, where there was no Army, no enemy to be found. We are told of the Medieval Knight mysteriously impaled by sword he had not yet built. We are told that these things occur for a reason."

However, though these Donnie Darko ideas are fascinating, I know of only one such myths or artifact, and those are the stories about the Philadelphia Experiment (which was made into a movie by the same name) where supposedly there were experiments done to test a new method of sonar cloaking that resulted in the disappearance of several men, except for their metal buckles. Alas, as such stories a a matter of rumor, conspiracy, and hearsay, I cannot declare that I believe in them and leave it up to speculation as to whether or not these loops and paradoxes actually exist.

Lastly though, there is the third Multiverse Timeline as exhibited in the new 2009 Star Trek reboot where the timeline was changed in such a way as to create a second universe with a different series of events, making the new future uncertain and even more surprising. Another good representation of this is the Rick and Morty multiverse, however, there has been no evidence that those universes were created by time distortion, only the culmination of different choices. Wherefore, I will endeavor to use another example.

SPOILER ALERT for Fringe.

A main thread of the television series Fringe, includes the interaction between the Observers, and the main characters. First, there is a multiverse, represented by two main universes that interact with one another. Observers or "evolved" humans from the future are sent back in time to find the perfect place in human history so that they can bring back their civilization. This endeavor begins with a small scouting team were twelve observers, named after months of the year, are sent back to before the big bang, and thus before time moved forward, as displayed in the movie Mr. Nobody. From this outpost, they move forward through history.

September

One Observer, September, intervenes "accidentally" in the alternate universe, preventing Alternate Walter Bishop from giving Alternate Peter Bishop a life saving cure. This causes the main Walter Bishop to travel across the dimensions and take Peter away, mostly unwilling to watch his son Peter die a second time. After curing him, Walter finds that he cannot return Peter without causing devastating destruction to both universes. Thus Peter Bishop is raised in the main universe.

As the plot progresses, Peter falls in love with with a woman named Olivia and they have a child together. Then the Observers begin their invasion, moving directly from the future to the current location in time. Once the Observers are defeated and the timeline altered so that the Observers are never "evolved" or created in the first place, the universe returns to normal, with Peter and Olivia together with their daughter.

However, this ending bothered me greatly. For, if the Observers were erased from history, then they would not have intervened with Peter's cure, and thus Peter would still be in the Alternate Universe. Wherefore, here is my theory as to how and why Olivia and Peter remain together.

Because the Observer invasion went from the future, folding time over itself, to move to the past, they created a loop or tangent universe. Yet unlike the accidental one from Donnie Darko, this one was created and thus spanned tens, hundreds, or possibly thousands of years. Once the Observers were defeated the loop collapsed, erasing them and all events contained within the tangent universe.

September and Peter at the Outpost

Since September and the initial scouting party went before time, and thus outside of the loop, their actions exist, melding into the universe's history as a lasting paradox that created the multiverse timeline with a different history as to what would have transpired had they not gone back in time. Not only is the multiverse timeline changed for the main universe, but it is also changed for the alternate universe which now doesn't have Peter Bishop.

Wherefore, we see how Fringe incorporates both the dynamic timeline and the multiverse timeline. Yet, to add some metaphysics to the story, there is still the fixed timeline of the series itself, which we, as observers can watch and see all of the events that universe's history made and caused by the time traveling which always happens because it always occurred.

To conclude, I finally present my argument that there is the possibility that all three of the theories of time travel can exist, depending on how time is manipulated. Particularly, whether or not time is folded over itself, or if an individual is taken outside of time, and then placed back into it. Thus, the dynamic timeline and the multiverse timeline co-exist with the fixed timeline as a constant, having the dynamic and multiverse timelines flowing and interweaving around and through the fixed timeline like a brilliant tapestry of time which only God, the greatest of all, who knows all things for they are present before Him (Moroni 7:22, Doctrine and Covenants 38:2), can observe being as far outside of time as is possible. For the Father, alone, knows at least one thing relating to time, and that is when Christ will come again. In His own words, Christ said that He did not know, nor do the angels, but only His Father (Matthew 24:36). Though, I must confess, that this could have changed after Christ's resurrection. For in these latter days Christ has said again, "I, the Lord God, have spoken it; but the hour and the day no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor shall they know until he comes." (Doctrine and Covenants 49:7) Because of this, it might mean that Christ, like His Father, now knows when He will come again.

Thus, I commend all who read this to trust in the one true God who knows all things, omniscient, and omnipotent and to come unto His Only Begotten Son that you may be renewed and saved in the Celestial Kingdom. Amen.

Mr. Nobody

Dear Readers,

This post is an interesting one. There is a 2009 movie called Mr. Nobody that, for a lack of a better term, is hard to keep up with. It is interesting how many ideas and concepts this movie goes through.

Angel of Oblivion sealing the children's mouths

Mr. Nobody talks about a pre-mortal life, when he was in heaven before being born. Though it is symbolism for the veil (ironically the veil being a symbol as well), it is describes as angels of oblivion touching the children's lips before they are born to keep them from remembering and talking about the pre-earth life. This is illustrated by the philtrum or medial cleft (the divot of the upper lip below the nose).

For me, this is the central key to the film. Because Nemo remembers his lessons in heaven, he is able to see the workings of God in his life, which is referred to as the butterfly effect. For those not familiar with this term, it is the theory that a butterfly flapping its wings can lead to a series of events that can drastically change history. In Mr. Nobody, this was illustrated by a butterfly flying away in Japan. It follow a breeze that picks up a leaf high into the sky. The leaf is carried into the atmosphere until it comes down in the US and Nemo's father slips on it, which causes Nemo's mother to come over to help him, and the couple meets.

Not only does the lack of the touch from the angels help Nemo see this butterfly effect, but also the future events. While on my mission, I talked to a member who seemed to be wise in the ways of ideas. In the church, we often say that God knows exactly what we are going to do because He knows us so well, like a parent can know when their child might be up to no good, stealing from the cookie jar etc. However, this never fully satisfied my mind on the subject. Thus, when that philosophical member talked to me about a kind of trial and error in our premortal lives, without consequences, I became rather intrigued.

He described this scenario: you are walking down a path in the forest, and suddenly get the feeling or prompting to go back. Unknown to you, there is a bear around the corner of the trail. Now, during your time as a spirit, as practice, you walked down the trail and saw that there was a bear. Yet, here in mortality, you don't have the memory of that, but the Holy Ghost can bring a feeling of remembrance and warn you, though you don't know what about.

Though this idea intrigued me, growth and full comprehension can only occur through mortality. Which is a big part of why we are here and why we shouted for joy at the opportunity to come down and receive a body (Job 38:7). Thus, for me, it was less of actually experiencing lesson in the spirit, but more of God explaining our lives to us. I feel as though He sat down with each and every one of us and talked to us about our mortal lives. He would calmly and lovingly tell us about different choices we will need to make. Of course, being there with God, we would say that we would make the right choice, but I imagine Him saying softly to us, but what would happen if you made this choice. I do not think that we would have our entire lives told to us at one time, so God might talk to others of His children for a while, and eventually come back to us and tell us what the repercussions of other people's choice might have on us. Therefore, during these early lessons we would make promises with each other, to help each other, as well as which choices we should make for ourselves.

Peter Bishop and September the Observer from Fringe

Like the wise man told me, when we feel that prompting, it is a reminder, either a reminder that we might be in danger, or a reminder that we have an obligation or opportunity to improve ourselves and/or help someone around us. Though I do not think that we experienced it quite like he explained, this does seem clearer to me now as to what our lessons were like. Yet, it should be mentioned that with my understanding of God's nature and how time works here in the physical plane (see my blog post about Gravity, Science, and the Spirit world) that time is set. We experience it fluidly because we are moving through time, moment by moment, but like an Observer from Fringe, God is able to see it as a solid whole. This is evident with the realization that in any given scenario, and opportunity to choose, we are limited by the knowledge we have, and thus must live with the choices we made. Even if we lived the same moment a hundred times, we would always make the same choice because we would always have the same knowledge, and same personality and desires.

Between knowing us as intimately as a family unit (knowing our personality and desires), and seeing exactly how we would live our lives before we even live them, I believe that God was perfectly able to know the end from the beginning (Abraham 2:8) and give us those first lessons to help us live the most honorable life we could. There may be some who ask, "If this is so, then why do we receive promptings from God that we will ignore? God knew that we would ignore it, then why send it?" My simple answer for this is that we must be accountable. In our ignorance of mortality, before this life, we probably pleaded with God to warn us of problems and to remind us to keep our promises to our brothers and sisters. Thus, being a perfect, honorable God, He always upholds His end of the bargain, even though He knows that we might not. This allows us to stand accountable for the choices that we made, for they were given to us, and many times, we probably even learn from those experiences. I know that in my own life I have had promptings that I wish I had heeded and that inspires me to heed the next ones more diligently.

Yet, many of you who have not seen the the movie Mr. Nobody might be wondering what this has to do with anything? Though we have these pretexts of pre-earth lessons and the butterfly effect, the majority of the movie consists of scattered scenes from several different timelines. Aside of setting each timeline on its own as its own movie, I found a video that helps depict the different timelines.

Sadly, this video is not complete to my standards, for it leaves out the timeline when Nemo rides his bike out in a rage and crashes, putting him into a coma. It also, for my own entertainment, had the space station destruction replaced with "Game Over". Thus leaving the "happy ending" as the timeline when Nemo was able to be with Anna and grow old to become Mr. Nobody, aka Mr. Craft (C.R.A.F.T. Can't Remember A [Freaking] Thing). 

Though I won't go over each and every timeline, I would like to point out some key insights from Mr. Craft. While telling the story of his life he would ramble on from one timeline to another, thus the cinematography of the movie jumping from scene to scene in great confusion. When the journalist asked him which timeline is real, he says that they are all real, and each one is worth living. Though most of us would like to find the woman or man of our dreams and grow old with them, sometimes our decisions lead us down other paths. The paths may include broken homes, unfulfilled lives, and premature death. However, these outcomes do not mean that these lives were not worth living. They are the reasons why we came down to receive our bodies. I believe that God explained the hardships, and the joys, all of the pros and cons, and yet we still chose these lives. 

Luckily, for everyone reading this post right now, you are still in a position to make choices that change your life for the better, or for the worse. I hope you gain confidence and strength in knowing that whatever choices you make, your life is one worth living. I hope you find the strength to accept the choices that you have made, and continue in life changing it as you see fit.

Jean, Elise, and Anna from Mr. Nobody

Mr. Nobody has a line when he talks about his child self, with the dilemma of choosing his father or his mother and thereby choosing which girl he will eventually marry. He remarks about how hard of a decision that is to make, especially for a child. Yet, knowing all of the possible outcomes, he makes the choice by sending the leaf up into the sky that will eventually bring Anna to him again. This brings him joy as in his final moments Anna's name is on his tongue. 

The Oracle from The Matrix

Because of the veil, we do not know every outcome of our choices due in part by the concept given to us by The Oracle from The Matrix movies, "No one can see past a choice that they don't understand." However, by aligning ourselves to God and His will, we can begin to see why we make our choices, because we love others, because we love God, and therefore we can see a brighter future ahead. 

Love,

Gravity, Science, and the Spirit World

Dear Readers,

To further my own personal education, in this case mostly informal, I have been watching several science videos on Youtube. Some of my favorites are by Brian Greene. I know he got some criticism on Big Bang Theory, but I am a firm believer in John Taylor's saying, "It is true intelligence for a man to take a subject that is mysterious and great in itself and to unfold and simplify it so that a child can understand it." By this definition of intelligence, I do believe that Greene is trying to be intelligent, and we can benefit from it. In return, I am trying to explain my ideas as "intelligently" as I can.

Anyway, this brings me possible ways to prove the scriptures and that spirits do exist. Now, I am going to try to explain it as best I can in roughly the same manner it was explained to me.

XYZ graph Image Link

First up is time. Now, we are all generally familiar with the concept of space, up-down (Y), left-right (X), forward-back (Z). However, most of us do not think about the fourth "dimension" or coordinate of time.

Sheldon Cooper in his spot Image Link

The application of this coordinate was quite exemplified by the character Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory. He determined that the first moment he sat down on his "spot" on the couch it became the 0 coordinate on his time spectrum. From then on, his life was separated in what I call, BS (before spot) and AS (after spot). I know my acronyms might seem funny, but we have something similar today with a meridian of time. BC vs AD. Now, I am familiar with the way most of us remember BC and AD, (Before Christ, and After Death), however AD actually stands for "anno domini" which is Latin that is generally translated as "in the year of our Lord". I think it is important to point out that 1 AD is from Christ's birth to His first year of age, or usually considered that year in which He was born. There is no "year 0". There would be a zero coordinate on a graph, but there is no Year 0. For example right now as I am writing this, it is August of 2016 AD. August, being the 8th month then becomes 8/12 or 2/3 in the year of our Lord 2016. It is a decision of an entire year number 2016. Like August itself, it begins August first and ends August thirty-first. Thus, going back to our meridian of time, seconds before Christ's birth was part of 1 BC and seconds after Christ's birth was part of 1 AD. What does this have to do with anything? It was just semantics I wanted to get off of my chest.

How do we measure time, it all depends on how precise we want to be. It could be a Planck time, which is the smallest unit of time we have because it is the time it takes light to travel a Planck length which is the smallest unit of length we have. It is interesting how time is always measured from one "book end" to another. The beginning when the stop watch was first clicked to when it was clicked again at the end. I believe this is an important key element in what time is to us. Time is simply the measurement between to events. Christ's birth and now has been 2015 2/3 years, give or take a few months or days and hours due to the adjustment with the beginning of a year moved to January 1st at 12 o'clock AM.

Thus, though a Planck time is the smallest measurement of time, time itself is made of instants. Easily understood as photographs. Each of these is an instant in time, though, ironically, a photo is countless Planck times after the instant occurred because of the distance the light traveled whether it is a couple feet for a selfie, or miles away for a panorama.

Time Line from Brian Greene on The B-Theory of Time

So, let us pretend that we could actually capture a photo for every single one of these instants, then we lay them all out in a line. Of course, these instants are separated into "folders" or units of time: seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years. Yet, ultimately, these are all made up of instants. These are set under very specific requirements.

Because science has proved that time is relative usually in correlation to the speed of light. It is interesting how the speed of light is a constant speed throughout all space. The closer one approaches the speed of light, the slower time is experience and is. The slower one moves relative to the speed of light is the faster time passes. This has been proven with satellites moving quicker or slower relative to earth's rotation.

We can also see that light is affected by gravity, especially with black holes drawing in all light creating an absence of light. I will leave this here for now to address a comment from Brian Greene in The B-Theory of Time.

He mentioned that Issac Newton came up with the universal time theory, in essence that there is one time, it is not relative, and it continues to flow unceasingly. Then he mentioned that Albert Einstein with his B-Theory of Time was the first one who had ideas of time being relative. This is not the case.

Though I honorably testify that Joseph Smith Jr. was a true prophet of God, let us pretend for a second that he was not. Under this assumption that Joseph Smith wrote the books of Abraham and Doctrine and Covenants himself, it is interesting how he talks about "...Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the Lord's time, according to the reckoning of Kolob." (Abraham 3:4). "In answer to the question -- Is not the reckoning of God's time, angel's time, prophet's time, and man's time, according to the planet on which they reside? I answer, Yes. But there are no angels who minister to this earth but those who do belong or have belonged to it. The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth; But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord." (Doctrine and Covenants 130:4-7).

This is almost directly correlated with how we understand time today, and with this B-Theory. According to this theory, time is set. Because someone's now could be someone else's future, those events that take place in between have to be set in time. Thus, if all time is set, all time could be continually "before the Lord". This would also explain how God, knows the end from the beginning (Abraham 2:8). Also, that time is relative to every "planet" which correlates because every planet spins and travels through space as different speeds relative to the speed of light. Here on earth, we are all very close to the same time, though technically none of us are precisely experiencing the same time. We are close enough to interact. This is congruent with both the notion of time being relative to the speeds, mass, and whatever of different planets and this B-Theory.

My point is that Joseph Smith Jr. if he was a fraud, must have been as much of a genius as Albert Einstein to have written these same ideas. One could argue that Joseph Smith stole these ideas, if it were not for the fact that Joseph Smith Jr. was murdered in 1844 while Einstein was not born until 1879. Thus, literally, either one must accept that Joseph Smith was a genius of Einstein's level, or that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God and he did receive this truth from the only Being who has all knowledge and that this truth is a constant which Einstein was also inspired with.

Alien's perspective relative to speed and direction. B-Theory Video Link

Now, another aspect of this video I care to comment on is that time is relative not only to speed but direction. Greene uses the idea of an alien, perfectly still in space on the other side of the universe and a human perfectly still in space. In an instant, they are along the same instant photograph. However, if the alien gets up and move away from the human, that alien's time instant changes to a slightly diagonal slice into the past. While if the alien moves towards the human, that instant changes to the future for that human. This seems crazy in theory, but how can we see that today?

Imagine that someone is in a room with you. Right now they are in your present instant and for the foreseeable future they will still be there with you. However, if they begin to leave, moving away, soon they will be in another room. They are no long with you, thus not in you present, and you only have memories of them, thus they only exist in your past. However, if they move towards you and re-enter the room, suddenly they are are going to join you in the future. Like a friend saying they are going to come over to your house, you know they are coming, so they exist in your future, but they are not currently in your present.

Thus, and this is why I like this concept, when two people move towards each other, they are in each other's future, until they meet in the middle. Then, at least for an instant, they share that same time. They are one in an instant frozen in time forever. Yes, this is the romantic in me...

Anyway, mathematically we find that gravity not only effects space, but time as well. This is under a similar principle as that speed vs rotation. Though we do not know for absolute surety what causes gravity, there are the theories of gravitons which most scientist believe exist. These are particles that somehow affect space and time. I do not know if they exist or not, but it is an interesting concept. However, because of the correlation between speed and time, I am leaning toward the rotation and motion creating gravity, though I do not exclude graviton particles having some correlation to it.

Gravitational waves from planets around black hole. Gravity Waves Video Link

This was proven when scientists noticed two planets spinning around a black hole. The black holes' interaction causes gravitational waves.

Now, in theory, when these gravity waves hit the earth, they would stretch and compress the earth.

laser experiment test. Gravity Waves Video Link

So, it came to how would we prove it? They set up lasers several miles apart. On this scale, minor shifts in distance change the light frequencies. Instead of matching up, they become inconsistent. This was proved to be the case, and we learned that gravitational waves do compress and expand space itself.

Space in cubes. Brian Greene Gravity Video Link

So, let us imagine the cubes of space. We have these four dimensions, XYZ with T for time just existing un-represented.

Fabric of space. Gravity Video Link

Now let us imagine this from a different perspective, from a two dimensional flat surface called the fabric of space.

Sun and Earth. Gravity Video Link

Around each planet or sphere in space, there is a welt or under cone. The earth spins around the sun's cone. This reflects the earth's actual orbit mathematically.

Earth and Moon. Gravity Video Link

Then the earth has its own cone or sag that the moon spins around.

Gravity effecting space. Gravity Video Link

This sag is actually bending those cube edges of space, compressing it around the earth. This space also transfers the waves of the gravity, again with the gravity experiment above.

Higgs Boson Discovered Video Link

Thus, I will now switch directions to the Higgs Boson. The Higgs Boson is a particle I will compare to a water droplet. It is a portion of the Higgs Field which was, for quite some time, theoretical. Higgs Field was theorized first mathematically by trying to figure out why particles have mass. The only way mass could be calculated would be if the particles are constantly passing through a substance. This substance would have to quite unique in that it does not cause any friction.

With this theory, came the problem of how to prove it. As another function of the Hadron Collider, they documented that, extremely rarely, when particles collided and their components were flung out that there was a particle that lasts barely any fraction of a second before completely disappearing. Though I may not agree that this is the best science going on here for there could be several other reasons or properties not taken into consideration, simply because we do not know to think of them, that could explain it, I do like the idea of this Higgs Field being all around us.

image link

So, to put this another way, pretend we are trying to figure out what water is, when we are all under water. Thus we take two thing, like a submarine and a torpedo. When the two hit, there is an explosion with the particles creating a gap around a portion of the Higgs Field making a Higgs Boson, or a drop of water.

image link

Another example is like dropping a rock into a pond. Yes, there is the wripple, but sometimes, the force causes a drop of water to rise up and become temporarily severed from the body of water only to then re-combine with the rest of the water.

This would explain why that particle disappeared because it re-constituted back into the Higgs Field.

So, if this Higgs Field exists, which as far as science has been able to determine it does, then this field spans all of space and is likely space itself, rippling and flowing. Yet, again with Joseph Smith: "Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space--" (Doctrine and Covenants 88:12). Though it is not visibly seen as light, it is a substance that fills the immensity of space.

With Einstein's theories, the math words with gravity effecting all three dimensions of space as well as time, but there is something that is not explained by using these known dimensions. That is electromagnetism. For the math to work with electromagnetism, there is required a fourth, or if time is counted, fifth dimension.

Obviously, we cannot see this dimension, but its existence is the only way we can make sense of this electromagnetism. Now, I would like to point out my theories in magnetism, with a positive and negative pull which I talked about in my Gender post. Yet, to sum up, it was my theory that positive and negative polarization is caused by feminine or masculine intelligences on the other side of the veil. This veil could be considered the difference between our 3rd dimension and the 4th dimension.

tiny dimensions. Hidden Dimensions Video Link

Now, Brian Greene and other Theoretical Physisists are looking for this fourth dimension as tiny dimensions curled up microscopically.

Image Link

This would be the equivalent of having an XY graph, only the lines themselves, not taking up any distance left or right, were actually straws, hollow on the inside. The dimensional difference would be so tiny that we could not see it.

Futurama Season 7 Episode 5 "2-D Blacktop" Clip Link

However, I disagree with this concept. As with the Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions idea from Edwin Abbott Abbot, a true 4th dimension would not fit this criteria. In a 2D (two dimensional) plane, a being would only see lines, maybe colored lines, but still lines. However, that same world seen from a 3D perspective, the 3D individual would be able to see inside of the 2D beings. Like seeing the inside of a circle, or seeing the unborn chick in this 2D egg from Futurama.

What I really enjoyed about this episode of Futurama was how they explained how a 2D organism would live. They could not have a digestive system like ours, because it would split them in half.

So they would have to eat like a microscopic organism  creating a membrane around the object, break it down, and then transplant the nutrients.

Now, say, if a sphere were to enter Flatland, the inhabitants would only be able to see a line that suddenly grows and then shrinks as the sphere passes through layer by layer until it is gone. To the inhabitants, it would be a very strange phenomenon that none of them could explain.

So, in comparison, what would be a 4th dimension to us? The fourth dimension would be able to see inside of our bodies. What we could see from its interaction would be limited and confusing, like something appearing and disappearing.

This reminds me so much of the spirit world. The spirit world is all around us (Gospel Principles Chapter 41). Spirit can exist within us, around us, pass through us. "...for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7).

Then we have ghosts, spirits appearing and disappearing and manifesting in any number of peculiar ways.

It seems to me that the spirit world meets quite well the criteria for a proper fourth dimension. If this is the case, then those positive and negative (masculine and feminine) charges would indeed be from intelligences from the spirit world.

This would explain why strong electromagnetic fields can cause sickness in some people, disrupting their connection with their own spirits. It would explain how and why our brains have their own bio-electrical field.

This would explain why ghost are known for manifesting in strange electromagnetic fields, as expressed in Ghosthunters.

This would explain why electronic devices are often correlated with other ghostly manifestations like EVP (electronic voice phenomenon).

Really, the spirit world being the 4th dimension would explain so much about science and in essence, prove scientifically that there is an afterlife. However, most scientists seem to be atheists and thus almost immediately dismiss ideas such as this. So, I am sharing with you my beliefs in the hope that you ponder these things out for yourselves. As always, I am happy to read any comments you might have.
