it's just stretching out, changing shape at least there is no reason to believe anything more than that (i think) | ||

The thing is our brain needs to imagine the 16 dimensions. Since we only experience the 3rd dimension, we think in the 4th dimension. In order to get to higher dimension, we need to use drugs to open our brain up. I would suggest taking a large amount of weed to understand parallel universe. One time I ate brownie and got so high. I was between two universe. Two of my conscious mind were connected into one. At first I was jumping from one mind into another but both of my minds joined into one. Also if you think about how our brain creates reality. What if our brain is what keeping us in this universe. If we were to released from our brain could travel into other universe with our consciousness. I'm planning to study more about physics and possibly find a way to travel between universes. | ||

Theory: A theory, in the general sense of the word, is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of observations. Fact: Is a reality, truth Information that has been objectively verified. a concept whose truth can be proved; "scientific hypotheses are not facts" | ||

However, there are some specualtions that space-time itself expands faster than light travels, but I'm not up to speed on those views. | ||

However, there are some specualtions that space-time itself expands faster than light travels, but I'm not up to speed on those views. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0310808 this is a bit informative on the faster than light thing. I think that it is true that the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light now - it's just that it is outside of our horizon, so we are not causally connected. which is ok. however, because there are large differences in distance and time for signals to get to us, and the different stretching in tat period, it means we can see areas now that were moving away from us faster than the speed of light at the moment the light was released towards us (i.e. a long time ago). I think. | ||

Also, unless you really put a lot of time into it all you will acquire is false, lacking or misinterpreted information. | ||
