Parapsychology and The Fourth Dimension (I / II)

Reflection is one of the main means for leaders to learn from the past. Warren Bennis

Introduction

Parapsychology to go into trying to give explanations to the paranormal invites many disciplines in a multidisciplinary help bring their reason for being and work to find convincing answers

This time, we motivate our concerns about it, to delve into the concepts, scope of the Fourth Dimension, because in it there are strange paranormal phenomena such as disappearances sometimes objects, occurrences, and because not much discussed splitting phenomenon (obese) and others.

Of course this does not mean to point out categorically that there is manifest all paranormal phenomena, it is simply a concern expressed to parapsychologists and scholars of this science is investigated, as the fourth dimension, can be the gateway to a fascinating universe .

Possibly my technical background and my preference in the study, the environment, and everything related to Physics and Cosmology, help me go into parapsychological science, trying to find explanations for parapsychological events, subjectively motivated me go into the Fourth dimension, therefore this time I will refer in a general way, leaving the promise that in the future according to the present investigations carried out more extensive work than the article contains.

Brief Background

Wikipedia gives us respect, the fourth dimension Ermin appears in several contexts such as physics, mathematics, and science fiction. In each context the meaning is different:

In physics, refers to the fourth dimension of time talking, mostly from the approach of the Theory of Relativity. In mathematics, the concept appears to Euclidean spaces or more than three dimensions or, more generally, locally Euclidean spaces or 4-varieties diferencialesLa fourth dimension, understood as additional spatial dimension (not as a temporal dimension, as in the theory of relativity) appeared in the literary works of Oscar Wilde, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Marcel Proust, H. G. Wells and Joseph Conrad, inspired some musical works of Alexander Scriabin, Edgar Varèse and George Antheil and some plastic works of Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp influencing the development of Cubism. Even characters as diverse as the psychologist William James, the writer Gertrude Stein and the socialist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin became interested in the topic

Appeared Kaluza-Klein theory proposed that the gravitational field not only could be interpreted more easily as curvature of a "space" of more than three dimensions, but if you introduced a new spatial dimension wrapped or "compactified" also the electromagnetic field could be interpreted as a geometrical effect of the curvature of higher dimensions. Thus, Kaluza proposed a unified field theory of electromagnetism and gravity in a five space-time dimensions, with a temporal dimension, three spatial dimensions and one spatial dimension extended "compactified" additional, due to its status as compactified was not directly visible but its effect was felt in the form of electromagnetic field

Of course, you can not ignore the contribution of Albert Einstein's famous theory of special relativity 1905 first spoke of time as a fourth dimension, and as indispensable to locate an object in space and at any given time. The weather in the theory of relativity is not a spatial dimension as a fixed point in space-time it may be not reachable from our current position, a fact that differs from the usual conception of spatial dimension. Although initially interpreted as a time "dimension" mathematics needed to locate an event or object in general relativity theory time is treated as a geometric dimension, although material objects can not be completely arbitrary to follow a path to over time (such as "turn around" and travel to the past).

Wikipedia also gives us other interesting facts such as:

The Fourth Dimension has been the subject of popular fascination since the 1920's. As "Into the Fourth Dimension" by Ray Cummings in 1926, the comic "Eugene the Jeep" or "-And He Built a Crooked House" by Robert A. Heinlein. Donnie Darko uses the fourth dimension as an argument for time travel. The reference relates to the water which is fourth dimensional tool for travel time. Alan Moore in the graphic novel "From Hell" used the fourth dimension as a reference to the madness of Jack the Ripper. The game Star Ocean: Till the End of Time using the fourth dimension as a reality film "Cube 2: Hypercube" (2002), the second in the cult classic Cube, the characters are caught in a trap and lures tesseract . Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut characterized aliens between their Moons Jupiter who referenced it with the fourth dimension as time and space The time traveler in "The Time Machine" by HG Wells identifies the time as the fourth and the first episodes of Doctor of Doctor Who. The game Blinx: The Time Sweeper regards itself as "The first game action in 4D" with the player having control over the flow of play time.

Many other games with the ability to bend time (as Prince of Persia: The Sands of the Time and Viewtiful Joe) or an internal clock coordiación (like Animal Crossing, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater) are referred to as 4D games . In the novel "A Wrinckle in Time", the fourth dimension represents time, as the first three represent length, width and depth. In the television series Threshold, an alien race who are carrying out a land invasion - came to Earth with the spacecraft intersect the fourth dimension. There are many references to the fourth dimension in science fiction movies in the movie "Back to the Future III," Marty tells Doc "You're not thinking about the fourth dimension." In "The Boy Who Reversed Himself," by William Sleator, the main characters are lost in a fourth spatial dimension, which are highly intelligent beings who are represented by 3 dimensional cross themselves, which all can be seen in the book of the characters in three dimensions. The game Super Mario Galaxy is the first to be considered, or in the process, as the first game to include graphics in 4D.

In the novel "Coming Trought Back Time" by Michael Atkinson ", try recording the testing history around itself in order to return to the fourth dimension. Most simulators use the term 4-D and marketing in the Mother game, the main character can use a special ability to PK-called "Fourth dimension slip" that comes immediately to any battle. The novel "Diamond Dogs" by novelist Alastair Reynolds, the characters must solve riddles and puzzles, some involve four-dimensional objects, that to venture up to an external structure called "The Blood Spire." 4-D When we needed additional terms: Terms like ana / kata (sometimes called spissitude or spassitude), Vinn / vout (used by Ruby Rucker) and epsilon / delta. Meanwhile, Gnosis, we observe here in. samaelgnosis.net that the revolutionary thought of the New Age, is tremendous, and seem to want to get up in arms against the three-dimensional Euclidean geometry; exists in all countries of the world much intellectual curiosity and even floats in the atmosphere the idea of ​​a fourth vertical, a fourth coordinate, a fourth dimension.

This idea so bold, and for many, insolent and disrespectful, clashes with the conservative minds, materialistic, reactionary past, but the terrible hurricane of the Revolution on the March, shake, stir heaven and earth, launches into the abyss to many theories , many authors, in many ways.

We have entered the era of permanent revolution, and this is something we can not nor should we deny.

The disturbing idea of ​​the Fourth Dimension, no doubt appeared in close connection with mathematics, in close association with the idea of ​​measuring the world.

The Gnostic movement affirms categorically that besides the three known dimensions of space: length, latitude and altitude, there is a fourth dimension.
