#7 dimensions

[queen-mihai]

OK I've got a little time. Let me tell you about 7 dimensions because it's way easier than I think we're imagining. Fair warning though, I only have words, and like, extremely basic drawing skills, so you're going to have to bear with me.

In some cases people talk about how we "can only imagine life in 3 dimensions, and to imagine anything more would require us to completely blahbity blahbity whatever"

I'm here to defy that notion. And I'm bringing math with me. Don't worry, it's basic and super easy. I literally do not have the patience to write out big crazy formulae, although you could with this if you wanted to.

Now imagine a sphere.

You're on it, hanging out, usefully for me, this sphere looks like planet earth.

Now let's say you wanted to put yourself right there in Africa someplace. That's a sphere, so we're gonna need height, length, and depth so I know exactly where to put the little smiley face that's going to represent you.

Oops, we already have to think in FOUR dimensions, because we can't forget that we're not stationary in the universe. We have to include "time" which is a concept that will help us soon. I went ahead and calculated that for you so you don't end up in the vacuum of space. No worries.

But scientists all over are talking about 4 dimensions. How the heck do you magically get to 7?

Well because we're already operating in 7 dimensions and I can prove it.

We're gonna leave the pictures behind for now and I'm gonna tell a story.

You're at a party. You got some bad news earlier and got your friend to come out with you. He wasn't gonna come out, but heard the distress in your voice and changed plans. He wanted to play beer pong, so that's what the pair of you do. Now with our 4 dimensions of space-time, you can calculate your shot to make sure your friend drinks when your turn comes up.

Throw at the right height, the right angle, the right distance? Perfect. In like Flynn

I'm not drowning anyone in technical jargon am I? Didn't think so. This is about as hard as it gets.

OK so you make your shot and he drinks. Great job.

But let's back up. You'll forgive me a little time travel since this is an imaginary scenario.

Now it's earlier in the day. I mentioned you got some bad news. Well you just hung up the phone and you're considering asking your friend to attend the party with you. Let's say you don't.

Well now..I mean you can throw a million balls in a million cups, your friend is not going to drink.

He's not there.

And with that, we've introduced our other 3 dimensions.

Let's put them all up on the board

Length

Width

Depth

Time

Potential

Influence

Probability

7 dimensions. We know the first 4 so let's go back to our story for the last 3.

Potential: in every situation, there are a seemingly infinite number of possibilities. Let's call each possibility a "Potential"

You're at the party, you're aiming your throw.

Potential 1: you hit, he drinks

Potential 2: you miss, he doesn't drink

Obviously an asteroid could strike, but.. that's not likely. These are the main 2 we need to be worried about.

Influence: You Are the one throwing the ball. Your influence on the ball will affect...

Probability: the likelihood of that ball going into that cup.

The thing is, going back in time again:

If you decided not to invite your friend to the party, he wouldn't have come. The probability of "he drinks" drops to zero because *he's not there*

Just like the thing with time.

Go back to the phone call and you're on with him:

If you just invite him to the party, he will tell you he's thinking of skipping this time. Still a low probability that our situation with beer pong is going to happen.

If you tell him you really want him to come, then you're increasing the level of influence, but maybe not enough to change that probability.

But then you tell him "I got some bad news today and I just really need a friend" and suddenly the potential of being at that table throwing that ball and getting him to drink rises above basically zero.

And I hear the argumentative asshats already "Mihai you iDiOT! YoU'rE jUsT dEsCrIbInG sTuFf ThAt HaPpEnS"

Yeah that's the point. I told you there's no "Woo Woo" here.

You had a bad thing happen

You applied your Influence over your situation by asking your friend to join you which they would not have done without your bad news call.

Your friend attending the party opened up the Potential that you may play a game including cups and balls and drinking

Your friend exercised influence over the situation by asking if you wanted to play beer pong

Then when you started playing, you threw the ball.

You didn't throw it before the cups were set up, meaning you interacted with time as well.

ALL of those things had to line up, just for you to even HAVE a cup to throw at or even a ball to throw.

Had you or your friend not exercised influence, you would not have been playing

Had your influence not won your friend over, they wouldn't have come

Potential? The Potential when throwing the ball is mostly it lands in the cup or it doesn't. The ball doesn't turn into a blue whale or sprout wings and fly away. It lands in the cup or it lands somewhere not in the cup. Those are the Potentials with the highest Probability.

We can think of these new dimensions as new x, y, and z axes.

Our entire universe is the original x, y, and z. Imagine a marble lying on the floor.

It itself is moving through time, which will be your fourth dimension. Meaning if you wanted to touch a specific spot on that marble, you would have to touch where it IS and not where it was or will be. That's dimension 4.

Potential would be like pushing the marble to the side. Left, the ball lands in the cup. Right, it bounces off. That's dimension 5

Influence is your up and down. Pick up the marble, it's no longer in the same place. Let it roll down a hill, it's not in the same place. You act on the universe with your decisions, influencing events around you. Eat a bowl of Ramen? That's an Influence. Drive to a party? You are influencing the universe the entire way there, the entire way back, and every step you take at the party. Even if you just sit still and meditate, the universe is actively being shaped and changed by your presence in it. That's Influence. And that's dimension 6.

And the finally, the one we've been talking about the most. Probability. That's your "in and out". Your marble universe isn't flat. You're not just touching the surface. You can stick your tweezers all the way into the middle of it. And the wider an area you want to hit, the higher probability you have of hitting it. The more precise you want to be, the more difficult it is.

And this scales all the way up and all the way down. Because it's affected by EVERYTHING.

Magnetism exerts influence on things that have gravity. Radioactivity affects the probability of a material staying together or breaking apart. Your desire to stop reading this long ass post is, even as I write it, exerting an influence on my willpower to make it any longer. Meaning the probability of this getting more paragraphs is growing smaller and smaller, and will soon lead to the potential of it being posted. Which will lead to new Potentials that will pop into existence as people read this and go on to affect the universe in their own ways.

The old gods never went away. They are reading this post. The 7th dimensional beings were in the house the whole time. 😂😂😂

Anyway I ain't nobody and I wouldn't presume to know anything more than people who have studied the universe for their entire lives.

It's fun to think about though 🥰 love you. Hope you're having fun!

max durden (just caught in a net for doing drugs): "we should unionize, like if we all do drugs he can't expell all of us"

kristen applebees (presidental candidate selfnominated champion of the steel workers union): "that's not a union"

fig faeth (straight edge, except for drugs): "i think he's onto something”

riz gukgak (only bad kid allowed to take stress for his friends): "FIG YOU’RE SO CLOSE TO GETTING EXPELLED"

my favorite moments of episode 7 of fantasy high junior year!!!:

all of the assembly shenanigans in front of brennan’s anti-shenanigan man

grix drug testing everyone and then chasing down and netting students who fail (i love you max durden)

salsa hat (all i could think about was despicable me 2)

"i thought that teacher found you so you don't have to take any classes" silence *gorgug dips*

all of the bad kids immediately leaping to cover kristen’s mistake and accidentally ruining Catflower Dogtree’s food truck campaign

“do we have any bardics going around?” “you don’t want mine”

adaine works at basrars with a recommendation from her sister (and has to bully old wizards who harass her for prophecies)

fabian making his house an indie coffee shop lofi beats to study hall for everyone (even… freshman) so he isn’t alone in his house

GORGUG GETS SPECIAL SECRET NAT 20 RULES AND THEN ROLLS TWO IN A ROW

kristen working really hard for cassandra just makes my heart so happy

"detective baby!" "the ball has a new partner' "or archrival"

night classes being good for fig (adhd)

riz being immune to the downtime mechanic and still taking stress tokens for his friends

adaine becoming a school supplies dealer

fig as a paladin for cassandra???

fig and porter’s relationship has been my one of my favorite bits since freshman year and everything about them this episode was so fucking good and funny ("i can't even rage" "yes you can" "you're fucking right i can")

choke on grapes, bitch and fig’s hatred of porter literally saved her from expulsion

“you’ve never told anybody to choke on anything!!!”

gorgug/zac’s frustration with porter being fig’s multiclass advisor as well (“you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me”)

fabian HAS to take a call from his bank

“you missed your shot, playboy” (i can fix her)

dead wife montage dreams of wanda childa

kristen and riz figuring out all the lucy/god shenanigans

Kipperlilly: your goddess passed? (Echoing on her megaphone)

Kristen: passed the test to give me extra spells!

The bad kids all immediately cover for Kristen creating a giant spider, fireworks, and a salsa jump 😂

Gorgug: hey, do we need to lock it in?

thinking about how deli p much saw a soggy cardboard box on the side of the road that said "FREE CAT" took one look at the infested little guy inside and was sold instantly

and then a couple years later the most feral violent scrappy yet pristine little hellspawn appears in his tent and starts leaving him rotting sacrifices and hes like yeah you can live with me and by my side and in my heart forever
