SUMMARY

Hyperdimensional physics, as discussed in this forum, is primarily associated with Richard Hoagland's theories, which are widely regarded as pseudoscientific or "crackpot" by the community. The lack of substantial responses to the topic indicates a consensus on its controversial nature. Participants express a clear dismissal of hyperdimensional physics, suggesting that it lacks credible scientific backing.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts
  • Familiarity with scientific methodology
  • Knowledge of pseudoscience and its characteristics
  • Awareness of Richard Hoagland's theories and their critiques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the scientific community's stance on Richard Hoagland's theories
  • Explore the principles of dimensionality in physics
  • Study the characteristics of pseudoscientific claims
  • Investigate the impact of controversial theories on public perception of science
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, science communicators, and anyone interested in the evaluation of controversial scientific theories.

What is...

'Hyperdimensional physics' ? If this is against the rules then i ask for a mod to please close this thread. Thank you :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Seeing the amount of view vs responses in this thread, i can safely say that it's crackpot theory?
 
If by 'Hyperdimensional physics' you are referring to the stuff by Richard Hoagland: yes, it's crackpottery.

Thanks, that's all i needed to know, can a mod close this thread?
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
