FAQ
Q: How many dimensions are there?
A: Countless. Whenever a major change occurs in one dimension, a new dimension opens up. What constitutes a “great change”, however, is disputed. The idea of an “original” dimension is disputed. What caused this phenomenon in the first place, its significance for our understanding of reality, and its significance for physics is likewise disputed.
Q: Is there anything that isn’t disputed?
A: What is not disputed is this: interdimensional travel offers one a glimpse into other dimensions, where in each one an alternate present can be discovered. It’s roughly comparable to the tunnel outside your window: if a dimension is a tunnel, it is linked to its own exit. The exit can be sensed, is prefigured by light, i.e. white space: a round, glaring, visible object. But then, outside the tunnel, one sees an environment completely different from any hypothetical “not-tunnel”. Physically, both states are always there and can be perceived from an impossible “neutral” position. But for an observer in, say, a tram, they are nevertheless completely different states.
Q: What is an interdimensional journey?
A: Interdimensional travel is not travel in the physical sense. Sure, it is also interesting to move your body during an interdimensional journey, in order to see different aspects of another dimension. In principle, however, an interdimensional journey can begin at any point in the world.
Q: Yeah, okay. But that still doesn’t explain what an interdimensional journey is.
A: That’s right. Listen closely: our dimension is surrounded by many other dimensions. The dimensions overlap and in principle, we see and experience all dimensions simultaneously at all times. But the brain fades out all dimensions but one. Certain triggers can occasionally enable you to see the overlaps, and sometimes you can precisely observe a detail from a single dimension.
Q: Can I interact with the other dimensions?
A: Not directly.
Practical tip
Q: What do I have to do in order to perceive another dimension?
A: Look up, blink quickly eight times, close your eyes tightly, and move your head slowly from right to left, twice. Now open your eyes again. Look around for about one travel-minute. Do you recognize traces of other dimensions? Trails of blurred light? Or something else entirely?
