You'd stop being "Special" and start being "General"

It appears to me that you are in need of help. Please(I mean pls) define your question. If English is not your primary language please pardon my sarcasm. Other dimensions is a topic I enjoy contemplating, however I'm uncertain of what you wish to know.

We already exist at a 4-dimensional level: three of space and one of time.

String theory predicts there are 10 or 11 spatial dimensions, but with all but 3 of them being "compactified" (curled up) to sizes undetectable as of yet.

Keep it simply.the 4th dimension is time itself ,but if you mean hyper dimensions if that is true I think the stretching of space/time is the 4 dimension.The 4th dimension is not a place but a direction one can go or travel in.In the 4th dimension time and space become = and this is why one has large distances in space between objects.

Actually, keeping it simple would be to understand what Telemad posted (and I also posted, but with intended humor) that we DO live in a 4 dimensional "level". Time, which is the 4th dimension, is NOT seperate from location (space). That IS our existence in the time/space continuum. And that is the difference between Special and General Relativity.

(Level)Thisisnot a video game! We live in a 4dimensional universe and only in modern times has space and time considered to becodependant.I am sorry to say you are wrong.If you are familiar with zeno's paradox it has been solved by Peter Lynds.Research is your best bet and all you have to do is look up Peter Lynds or Zeno's paradox. You guys seem to be nice, but my ideas are so simply you cant understand it.Stephen Hawkinsmade know reply when asked what do you think about Peter Lyndsconcepts on time.The Einsteinian universe only applies at certain levels and he(Einstein) was right when he said the universe could be explained geometrically, that's why he usedReimanns ideas to explain the geometric tensors of space-time.My idea explains how you get these vastdistances in the space -time continuum.

Oh I LOVE Zeno's Paradoxes!

The problem with Peter Lynds attempts to resolve Zeno's is he uses tautology and reductio. For Peter's attempts see:

"Zeno?s Paradoxes: A Timely Solution
Peter Lynds1"


http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001197/02/Zeno_s_Paradoxes_-_A_Timely_Solution.pdf


From it, you will find he begs the question with:

"We of course know that motion and physical continuity are possible and an obvious feature of nature,
so there has to be something wrong with the initial assumptions regarding the paradoxes."


Yet he never supports this claimed knowledge. He does repeat it's approach over and over as if the repitition is sufficient support.

"there is not a precise static instant in time underlying a dynamical physicalprocess. If there were, the relative position of a body in relative motion or a specific physical magnitude, although precisely determined at such a precise static instant, it would also by way of logical necessity be frozen static at that precise static instant. Furthermore, events and all physical magnitudes would remain frozen static, as such a precise static instant in time would remain frozen static at the same precise static instant: motion would not be possible. (Incidentally, the same outcome would also result if such a precise static instant were hypothetically followed by a continuous sequence of further precise static instants in time, as by its very nature, a precise static instant in time does not have duration over interval in time,"

By repeating "static" and "instant" and "frozen" in various combinations he gives the "appreance" of providing support. But it is just tautological repetition.

You will find this covered very well at

"Zeno's Paradox: A response to Mr. Lynds

by Eric Engle"


http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001333/01/ZENO.html


Or perhaps I have missed Lynds response?

I believe lynds is correct, for eventually the tortoise will eventually over-take the hare.You are right about the field of logic used in the paradox,but the point I am making here is in the macro world space/time is flat, so any object in a flat space/time no matter how slower than its competition would eventually catch up.So when you say time you are really mean atomic.And this is why atomic clocks are more accurate than the clocks in the macro world.There of course is more but I cant tell all of the details of my discoveries.

Zeno of Elea's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise is in no way related to the fabled tortoise and hare. You appear to be confusing two very different stories.

This is amazing. You are telling us that if I travel through space at .5 c, and you travel on the same trajectory leaving one hour later at .1 c, that you will eventually catch up to me? PLEASE explain how this works.

Oh but please do share your discoveries with the rest of us. That is what I live for.
