I know what the fifth dimension is!
We know there are three physical dimensions x, y, z or length, breadth, height or whatever you want to call these. Let’s stick with x, y, z for the time we are doing this. Time is the fourth dimension as suggested by Prof. Hermann Minkowski. Also, we know that time is not a physical dimension, it can only be felt and not touched.
Imagine, we were 2D objects, we wouldn’t understand the third physical dimension that we may be a part of. A 3D object does not have the fifth dimension(wait for it) due to which it cannot even experience the fourth dimension i.e time. That being said, the presence of all the lower dimensions are necessary for every object to experience any higher dimension. YOU CANNOT SKIP DIMENSIONS.
The Fifth dimension is CONSCIOUSNESS
If we start measuring it in mathematical terms, we can say the amount of consciousness that we had when we were born has significantly changed. It may or may not have increased because we don’t know how the movement in consciousness space affects our surroundings but the reality has a direct connection to this.
NO CONSCIOUSNESS = NO REALITY
Also, Subconscious is only a different value of consciousness than our reality follows. The change in x, y, z and time is different for every value of consciousness. Our dreams are an example of that different value of consciousness.
The relative motion of x, y, z and time decide the consciousness levels and hence, reality. Consider it like g (acceleration due to gravity) which has a constant value on earth. As soon as the value of g changes our experience of it changes. Consciousness is also a derived quantity. This is in line with the fact that for higher dimension to exist for an object all the lower dimensions to it must also exist.
When we move in consciousness space, the value of x, y, z and time changes differently relative to a different value of consciousness.
Let’s try a thought experiment. Imagine, you are standing in front of a 3D object. It appears to change with time because you are conscious and can experience the time dimension. Now, give that object the dimension of time. As soon as there is time but no consciousness the object cannot understand reality relative to itself. If now, you give it consciousness, it will be able to move in time along with other dimensions and it can experience consciousness with all its flavors. You may not feel the difference because you cannot understand their reality.
Everyone’s reality is different than yours because they are in a different fifth dimension.
