ok, here's the thing, i've been told that in the 4th dimension things speed up as they head towards you.
is this true? if so, why?

>> No.1146769

They can speed up as they can NOT speed up.

sorry, i just chose the first result for '4th dimension' on google.

In four dimensions, the inverse cube law applies. Gravity radiates outwards through a surface volume of hyperspace, becoming weaker with the cube of the distance. This weakened gravitational force means that orbits are not stable. If you are too far away, gravity doesn't pull hard enough to bend you into a loop. If you are too close, gravity pulls too hard and you fall in. So there are no orbits, no solar systems, no galaxies, no atoms.

Speed doesn't exist unless you have n + 1 dimensions (1 time like dimension)
speed = |dx / dt|

I'll fix it for him, he means the 4th SPATIAL dimension.

I read this first without realising you meant 4 spatial + 1 time. My brain was full of fuck.

>> No.1147508

how can dimension be not-spatial, there arent any of other type in in mathematics, right? even if taken in cosidiration a nonspatial time dimension it would have to be bound with the spatial ones so in some way, so that suggests something, doesnt it?

>> No.1147527

>>1147508
What the fuck are you on about you retard?

Spatial and time are interlinked in our existence, that's it, hey rime dimensions and spatial dimensions run independent of each other.

>> No.1147560

they cant be interconnected and independet at the same time.

>> No.1147606

>>1146814
It wouldn't though. Gravity is still affected inversly by the square of the distance. In 4 dimension, it is the same as in 3, or 2: the distance between the two masses squared

>> No.1147621

>>1147560
Honestly my minds shut down for the night, so I'm just gonna go with my initial thoughts.

They are all interlinked but only because time knits everything together I think.
