Is Energy the Key to Understanding the 4th Dimension?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the idea that energy, rather than time, is the fourth dimension. The original poster argues that energy is fundamental to existence in a four-dimensional universe, suggesting that objects devoid of energy cease to exist. Responses emphasize the importance of grounding theories in established physics and caution against forming conclusions without formal knowledge. The conversation also highlights that dimensions can vary based on the context of measurement, indicating that both energy and time can be relevant depending on the situation. Overall, the thread encourages further exploration of physics through recommended readings.

I have no schooling in physics but for the past 3 years I have had this idea floating around in my head and figured i'd tell somebody and see what they thought.

my theory is about the 4th Dimension. I believe that energy is the 4D and not time. Energy can be measured like width, heigth and length. Energy is in all things in our universe just like width, length and heigth. I believe are universe is 4D not 3D. if an object is stripped of its energy i.e. absolute zero what happens to it? I believe it will no longer exist, reason for this is that 4D objects can only exist in a 4D universe and so forth. 1d for 1d. 2d for 2d.

well this is my thought. pls post or email me with logic so i can finally stop thinking about this : )

Funny as it may seem, your intuition is not as silly as one might think at first sight. Energy is the generator of time translations. However, in order to make some sense out of this, you should really suppress the urge to have your own theories before having learned a bit about what many smart people have built over the years...
 
There isn't really any 1D,2D,3D or 4D. It actually depends on what you are working with, you might work with length and energy then they becomes 1D and 2D. So forget about fighting over whether time is 4th dimension or energy. it all depends what you are working with. if you are working with both of them then it all depends on situation whichever comes first.
 
i see...kinda

as i said before, no formal learning in physics...but if any of you can recommend any books i would greatly appreciate it. don't know why but seem to be interested in this.

thanks
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
