Leading on somewhat from the other thread where these videos were posted:
I was just entertaining a strange line of thought which I thought I might share. I'm a little lost on the finer details myself, so I'll try and explain as best I can to give you some attempt to understand what I'm trying to get at. You'll have to grant me a little leeway if I've made a complete mess of things; it's the gist of the argument I'm trying to get at.
I recently read Brian Greene's Elegant Universe which explains the development of String and M-Theory. During reading it -- which the videos reminded me of -- I was struck with certain thought experiments regarding extra dimensions and divinity or the possible existence of God(s).
Now, just as we cannot see or notice our interactions within the 2D realm (as we live within the 3D) and cannot see other hypothetical dimensions (5D to 10D) -- or perhaps even exist in such dimensions -- it is possible that perhaps a higher being exists within these realms itself. Likewise, should such a being exist within say the 8D it would technically be biblical in nature and omnipotent by our own understanding. It would possibly be able to see the past, future and all potential alternatives. Of course, just as we cannot influence strings or time, it is perhaps possible that such a being cannot influence anything within the 3D plane and thus explains why prayers are not answered directly. Even more interesting, should divinity be just an observer, is it not possible that perhaps a quantum effect may be observable whereby the act of observation in itself alters the outcome?
Indeed, just as the above videos explain, as we manage to hypothesize the 10D, we observe infinity upon infinity. Surely, within such a dimension -- should it be correct -- a god or gods as we understand them to be should exist purely due to infinity itself.
Anyway, I know it's tenuous and I'm probably just talking rubbish, but I'm interested in what others have to say. Thoughts?
