AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the probability of consciousness existing in higher or lower dimensions, as suggested by M-theory. Participants express skepticism about determining this probability, noting that it largely depends on narrative context rather than empirical evidence. The conversation shifts to the believability of such concepts within the scientific community, questioning whether the idea of consciousness in other dimensions is seen as outrageous or plausible. Overall, the consensus leans towards the notion that while the probability cannot be quantified, it is generally viewed with skepticism in scientific circles, suggesting that the likelihood is low.

Supposing M-theory to be accurate, in your opinion what could be the probability of a form of consciousness (conceivable by the human mind or to the contrary) existing in any higher or lower dimensions.

Alongside the thought of them taking a human form such as that seen in MIB 3

This is one of those "what are rules when there are no rules" questions. The only answer is "probability is whatever author wants it to be for the story they are creating".
 
I'd guess that it's greater than or equal to zero. There is absolutely no way to know the probability of consciousness existing in other dimensions.
 
Linguistically fair comment, I shal rephrase my question.

What might be the believability among the scientific community of such a circumstance. Is this an outrageous proposition or is it somewhat of a likelihood?

It isn't something I have noticed very often and I question weather there might be some underlying reason for that that I have not considered yet.

In that case, it definitely would be less than or equal to 0.

Although, in a strickly mathematical and logical sense, it would be actually less than or equal to 1, which I suspect, puts either back in the same usefulness as Drakkith's answer above ;)
 
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
