sprites Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I've always thought of it like a sorta 3 dimensional Pac-man, you reach the edge and end up back where you started I've had similar thoughts. Imagine a 2d person living on a 3d sphere. To him, the universe seems to go on endlessly, whereas we can clearly see the boundries. It's possible that our universe is a 4D sphere. Meaning we could travel in any direction and we should end up where we started. Of course that's assuming the universe is shaped like a sphere. If it weren't, then space would be warped and twisted in ways that would make absolutely no sense to us humans.

sprites Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well, I don't want to go too far off topic. We can't actually see an entire 4d sphere. We can only see slices of it that pass through our 3 dimensions. If we sliced an Onion into perfectly thin layers, they would look like circles. Similarly if we sliced a 4d Onion, we would get 3d spheres. There are many theories supporting the idea of a multi dimensional universe. It does make you wonder about where things in the universe come from. Like antimatter. What if a higher dimensional alien just "lifted" a piece of our world into the 4th dimension. To an observer on Earth, it would look as if a star just dissappeared. What if matter could leave our dimension as well? This might explain the big bang theory, and how a tiny ball of energy is able to expand to fill our current universe.
