Why the universe appears to have one time and three space dimensions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the perception of time and space dimensions in the universe, suggesting that our three spatial dimensions relate to our size and that smaller objects have fewer dimensions. It posits that time is an illusion, influenced by gravity, with movement being the only reality. Critics argue that time is essential for movement, as displacement requires a temporal framework. The conversation also touches on the dimensional properties of various carbon structures, highlighting misconceptions about dimensions and gravity's role. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of understanding time and space in relation to gravity and dimensionality.

The universe appears to have three space dimensions because of our size. The smaller an object is the less dimensions it has. If we where 4th dimensional beings we would probably be millions of miles in height looking into the known solar system with a microscope as if it was a marble.
Time is the same everywhere in the universe it just seems different because it is controlled by gravity. Depending upon how far away you are from the sun. The closer you are the faster you move. The further away you are the slower. Time dosent actually exsist. Only the ability to move within space exsists, controlled by gravity.

What makes you think this?

If time did not exist, then there could be no movement, since movement is defined as displacement over time.


You would do well to read up on these subjects before espousing your own ideas. There's lots to learn that will help you make sense of these ideas without following faulty premises to faulty conclusions.
 
fullerenes have 0 dimensions. nanotubes 1 dimension graphene 2 dimensions. graphite 3 dimensions. Each becoming bigger the more dimensions that are added
 
No. Their properties display symmetries consistent with those reduced dimensions.

DaveC is correct, there are many fallacies in what you've written regarding time and space.
 
lets pretend for a minute gravity dosent exsist and the only thing in all exsistence is a ball. If time exsists can that ball sit there for 5 minutes by itself. It can't because it needs gravity to hold it together.

This is not true.

This is not true.

If the ball is a molecule, then it will hold together by inter-atomic forces. Gravity only really comes into play when enough mass collects together.
What books are you reading? They're steering you wrong.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
