About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,

First off, the basic "Directional Space" primer. Dimensions are FINITE length measurements of an infinite spatial directional plane. Displacement is movement of an object through space. The velocity at which things move as we hit higher directional measurements is not accurately measured against "time" when we exceed 4-Directional Space as "time" is only 1 angular direction plus spin of 5-D spacetime. "Length" + "Width" + "Depth" are merely 90 degree against 90 degree perpendicular divisions of any spherical centerpoint-to-outer-surface angle and not properly "directions", merely "angular divisions" of 3-directional space.
A circle is a 2-Directional object.
One direction is the "Spin direction". A circle can be spun in place to your left or towards your right (or not at all). The velocity of the spin (if any) is variable.
The other direction is from the centerpoint of the circle to any of the infinite points toward the outside (actually infinite rim) of the circle, the "Spatial Displacement Direction". The velocity of movement (or no movement) and angle are variable.
The reason that a circle is a TWO-DIRECTIONAL object is that it can move in 2 directions at (with a differing velocity for both the "Spin" and "Displacement" the same time.
A sphere is a 3-Directional object.
One direction is the "Spin Direction" on the primary axis. The angle of spin and velocity of spin are variable (if spinning at all).
The second direction is the "Tumble Direction" (think of a spinning model globe on a pivot -- the pivot is your "Spin Direction"). The "Tumble Direction" is the angle and velocity at which you can rotate the spinning (or stationary) globe on the "Spin Direction".
The third direction is the "Displacement Direction" which exists as the centerpoint of the sphere moving (or not moving) through space toward any infinite point on the exterior of the sphere at any angle in 3D space.
All 3 Directional forms of movement and angles are independent of the others and any can be moving in unrelated angles or velocities (if moving at all).
Since the pattern is now obvious, I will just skip to the summaries of 4-D and 5-D space.
4-D = Hyper-Sphere which has one more "Displacement Angle" and "Rotational Direction" that a 3-D sphere cannot be consciously moved in because it lacks access to the proper Displacement Energy.
5-D = Quantum-Sphere which has one more "Displacement Angle" and "Rotational Direction" that a 4-D Hyper-Sphere cannot be consciously moved in because it lacks access to the proper Displacement Energy. Higher up you go, the more you add in another "Displacement Angle" and "Rotational Direction" to the routine.
What are electromagnetic fields? The "pushing" (not puncturing) of a 4-D object into our 3-D spacetime. Note that the 4-D object can be rotating at a velocity in 4-D spacetime at any 4-D angle mix giving rise to all sorts of interesting 3-D results non-standard for the average electromagnetic field.
What are gravity fields? The weak "pushing" (not puncturing) of a 5-D object into our 3-D spacetime. These big 5-D objects affect "Potentiality".
5-D particles that puncture our spacetime (but do not actually rest within it) appear as photons. Using a totally over-simplified insufficient example... think of an inflated beachball sitting upon a still indoor pool. The surface of the pool is 4-D spacetime. The beachball is a "Hyper-Photon". The point that touches the 4-D spacetime surface of the pool appears to be a 3-D photon in our spacetime.
Now let's say the beach ball is rotating in place giving the appearance of a "vibrational frequency" moving back and forth in time (AKA the "Quantum Effect"). Also note that this "Hyper-Photon" ball can rotate in 4 independent angular directions at differing velocities without actually moving in a "Displacement Direction" or moving at a "Displacement Angle".
Back to the 5-D "Beachball" example.
Now let us say in the example that the 5-D "Beachball" gets a tap from directly on top causing it to bob in place also causing the 4-D pool surface of spacetime to ripple out little fading waves of time-fluctuation. Within those ripples, time may move "sideways" or vary its rate of passing (moving faster than "1 second per second" and then slower than "1 second per second" until the 4-D displacement energy is used up and time reverts to the standard "1 second per second measurement again"). However, to our 3-D spacetime viewpoint, the 3-D photon has now become a cloud of virtual "quantum observation" photons which then move in a wavefront of "potentiality" patterns and then collapse into a single photon after observation. Interesting and weird, right?
Now here is the kicker, remember that the photon is a 3-D expression of a 5-D hyper-photon. Well, those 4-D temporal surface ripples ALSO move (4-D Displacement Energy) backwards in time and sideways in a hyper-circle (as well as weakly altering the local zone to no longer operate at standard "1 second per second" rates). That means the 3-D expression of the photon's probability location is moving weakly backwards (and sideways) in time. Oh, there's plenty more that will boggle your brains if you expand upon the "Kindergarten Friendly" DIRECTIONAL SPACETIME explanation I have listed above.
For example, matter that is too dense in our 3-D spacetime is basically piling up and pushing itself into 4-D spacetime. A black hole is not so much a 5-D pushpin, but more a 4-D lump of 3-D matter and spacetime crunched so heavy that it pushed itself into 5-D space and appears to be a "crunch-zone" for our 3-D space. Since that is "Hyper Dense" material, spreading it out over 3-D spacetime would release a huge amount of "Displacement Energy" and basic 3-D matter. Since us 3-D creatures have no intentional control over our 4-D "Displacement Angle" or 4-D "Displacement Spin" or control over any of the velocities therein, it is very difficult to do much of anything unless we think rationally in "Directional Space" terms. Oh, and some very unpleasant things are possible if moves are made thoughtlessly without accurate predictions of the outcome of those actions (AKA Hyper-Bombs blowing backwards, sideways, and in all the directions of 4-D spacetime = very human-extincting results).
All of this is pretty painfully obvious if you think about it a tad.
Note that not all elementary particle objects your are familiar with move at the rate of "1 second per second" and any given random "two atoms of Gold" are not guaranteed to be exactly identical when you view them in 4-D spacetime or 5-D spacetime. It might also amuse you to know that there are 3 "spin angle" different versions of the particle we improperly call the "Neutrino" (for reasons that should be pretty frickken' obvious if you read anything I wrote above here about "Higher up you go, the more you add in another Displacement Angle and Rotational Direction to the routine" in THREE DIRECTIONAL spacetime. Now apply that thought to the other THREE DIRECTIONAL particles (micro-toroid wormholes) the Electron, the Positron, the Neutron, and the Proton. See, a whole bunch of interesting thoughts are buzzing in your skulls now. Enjoy.
