Betrayal of Images" by Rene Magritte

Posted on November 7, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I am expanding on the subject of the fifth dimension, and how I am percieving it. The light behind, in the analogy of Plato’s cave, sets up the thinking in how issues from the source[the fire]( and here it might … Continue reading →

Holography and Dimensional Relevance

Posted on November 6, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Holography encodes the information in a region of space onto a surface one dimension lower. It sees to be the property of gravity, as is shown by the fact that the area of th event horizon measures the number of … Continue reading →

Light From the Fifth Dimension

Posted on November 5, 2004 by PlatoHagel

From a supersymmetrical stand point, this would have to make sense shining from a hyperdimensional (fifth dimensional) realm. Plato’s cave reveals the light from these higher dimensions, and the shadows on the wall, lead to eucldidean perspectives? Dialogos of Eide

Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension.

Posted on November 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

How do we learn to deal with these abstract spaces, but to have considered the following: (a) Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension. This is a simplification of the 5-D space­time considered by Theodor … Continue reading →

Simply put, Cubist art embraced the fourth dimension. Picasso’s paintings are a splendid example, showing … Continue reading →

5th Dimensional Field Equations

Posted on November 1, 2004 by PlatoHagel

http://www.tech.port.ac.uk/staffweb/seahras/images/Kaluza.jpeg In 1919, Kaluza sent Albert Einstein a preprint — later published in 1921 — that considered the extension of general relativity to five dimensions. He assumed that the 5-dimensional field equations were simply the higher-dimensional version of the vacuum … Continue reading →
