Warning: This Carl Sagan explaination has caused existential crises. He explains how 5th dimensional beings perceive 3D creatures, and the implications are so disturbing, I paused it three times. He said: A being from the 5th dimension could reach into your locked house, take an object off your kitchen... show more

Is that why I have no matching socks?

Can't shake the feeling that Mr. Smith from the Matrix movies took his on-screen cadence and entonations from this Carl Sagan video. The similarities are too close!

Freedom is having thoughts that are actually yours. So you stop living someone else's life and feel miserable. Here's how I broke out:

Yes, it clearly explains the supernatural and is a strong premise for the argument that: 'No one can claim ( from their limited 3 dimensions) that there is no God.' It also matches what God has revealed about Himself in the Bible, that He is the Alpha and Omega. He stands outside of time. Outside of His creation. Far above all that we are or could imagine. If your worldview starts there, a lot of things will make a whole lot more sense. 'The fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom' Proverbs 9:10

A Flatlander would be foolish to insist that reality contains only what can be explained from inside two dimensions. We should be equally careful about assuming that the Creator of space, time, matter and the laws governing them must Himself be confined by space, time, matter and those laws. Scripture made that distinction thousands of years ago: “Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee.” — 1 Kings 8:27 “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” — Psalm 139:7 “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday…” — Psalm 90:4 Higher-dimensional geometry doesn’t prove God exists. But it demonstrates something important: our inability to visualize a mode of existence does not establish its impossibility. A creature living inside creation should be particularly cautious about declaring what the Creator of creation can or cannot be.

@elonmusk Carl Sagan is one of my hero's and writers ✍️ he saw beyond the matrix

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions book by Edwin Abbott explored this in 1884. The book has been in print since then.

This explains why we cant find our apple slicer that just mysteriously disappeared from our house. We've looked everywhere! Now we know it was a member of The 5th Dimension!

@elonmusk Sagan’s geometry is correct. Kaluza already showed a 5th dimension can touch every point in 3D without crossing a wall, that’s where electromagnetism comes from.

> A 5D being could observe your entire lifetime from every version of you from infant to corpse like a single unmoving sculpture stretched across time. But doesn’t that mean everything is already predetermined and we are simply playing out pre-written scripts?🤔

@elonmusk Didn’t anyone read Edwin Abbott Abbott’s “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”, first published in 1884? It explains all this very well.

Except that the 2D square is actually 3D. It's just infinitely thin compared to a 3D object. This isn't a lesson on dimensions. It's a lesson on perspective, which as they say, is everything.

Tertium organum by P.D. Ouspensky goes into this pretty deep.

@elonmusk These are the conversations I live for. Give me a mystery or something that spikes my curiosity and I’m all in — my mind just won’t stop. I love that there are dimensions we can’t even see. Is there time travel between them?

A Flatland movie was made and is on Youtube...

@elonmusk Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious.

People like to mock those with extraordinary ideas, it makes them feel less small while proving how small they are. The same people work to make science as opaque as possible and disliked Sagan for making science accessible to ordinary people - they mockingly called it “Saganizing” science.

Interesting because Sagan's 5D explanation could illustrate why so many Near Death Experience (NDE) retellings include what's called a Life Review. If we arrive at a higher dimension at death, seeing our entire life at once makes sense. Just because we can. For the first time!

Carl sounds like a white Morpheus. Similar chair too.

I always liked this explanation.

This was an episode of The Cosmos aired weekly on national PBS on our TV fed for 13 episodes in 1980. Stations transmitted analog radio signals over the air using the NTSC standard (525 scanning lines, roughly 30 frames per second, interlaced). Viewers picked up those signals with rooftop or indoor antennas on VHF or UHF channels. How do you like them apples?

Except a flat lander would really only see a dot and a line. It would not see a circle.

What the fuck is going on around here? I’m completely fucking lost.

@elonmusk I read Flatland in high school and it blew my mind.

You're describing the spirit world of the God Creator who created the heavens & universe & our earth spinning around one of billions of billions of stars..the science doesn't explain it, it proves it

So stupid. You must IMAGINE a 2 dimensional being because it doesn't exist! All beings are 3 dimensional. No more, no less. A 4, 5, or 6 to infinity dimensional being does not exist.

I've always thought it was interesting that the true Biblical representation of what an angel looks like corresponds quite well with what we might expect from a higher dimensional entity coming for a visit.

No. To see what we call a circle requires 3 dimensions. The flatlander would see a dot, then a line that grows longer, then shorter, then, finally a dot again as someone pushed the apple through the paper.

very glad to see another carl sagan article.

This means that that tiny handful of people who can truly see the future may not be from the future, yet they possess higher‑dimensional thinking and perspectives — four‑dimensional, even five‑dimensional. God has endowed them with immense power to create and transform the world, similar to a psychic ability.

You should watch Flatland: Source: YouTube

In Death's End, the 3rd book in the series that starts with The 3 Body Problem by Cixin Liu they get into higher dimensional beings. I've re-read it many times and it still blows my mind. Definitely worth the read

Why would people freak out? If there are intelligent beings in the 5th dimension how would we know they didn’t manipulate Sagan? They’ve likely been doing it and we’ve been just fine. Anyway, you can’t ask a question while you’re inside the simulation bc you can never be certain you won’t get a simulated answer.
