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 ;)
 

Thread 'Stories about not so soft space fighters'

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Avatar (film): antigravity and unobtanium'

I thought I had discovered a giant plot hole in Avatar universe, but apparently it's based on a faulty notion. So, the anti-gravity effect that lifts whole mountains into the sky is unrelated to the unobtanium deposits? Apparently the value of unobtanium is in its property as a room temperature superconductor, which enables their superluminal drive technology. Unobtanium is found in large deposits underground, which is why they want to mine the ground. OK. So, these mountains - which...

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
