>Hyperobjects occupy a higher dimensional space than other entities can normally perceive. Thus, hyperobjects appear to come and go in three-dimensional space, but would appear differently to an observer with a higher multidimensional view.
He doesn't know what they'd look like. Unlike the usual three, the higher dimensions he's talking about aren't spatial. You talk can about low space in mathematical terms and generalise: a torus sometimes appears as a rectangle or sometimes a ring (projected) in(to) 2d. He's saying objects appear apart from each other in 3d space but are a single phenomenon (object). He talks about this by creating abstract hypothetical extra dimensions. To spoil OP's fun: >For example, global warming is a hyperobject that is formed by interactions between the sun, fossil fuels and carbon dioxide, among other objects; it is made apparent through emission levels, tmerpeature changes and ocean levels, making it seem as if it is a product of scientific models, rather than an object that predated its own measurement.

imagine a consciousness with memories and a personality etc. Now remove this consciousness from existence. Then create a consciousness, in all ways identical to the previous one. Same memories, same thoughts that it had at the time of death, same everything. (boltzmann brainz)
Is it the same consciousness? If you say yes, congratulations, you're thinking on a higher dimensional level.
For this to work though, one would have to assume that past isn't real, and that the previous consciousness never existed in the first place. Then you could start asking yourself if you are a boltzmann brain, being destroyed and created billions a time a second, as you are reading this. How do you know that you didn't come into existence just now, at this moment?

just my thoughts :p

The higher dimensions are inside calabi yau spaces and are the size of fucking Planck length. They might as well not exist at all.
Pic related. This us literally how gay modern physics is.
Jordan Scott
All these extra dimensions and not a single one where i can find true love :(

>string theory is both an accepted model of modern physics and the only example of more than 3 dimensions You don't get to be a smug little dismissive shit when you don't actually know what you're talking about you fucking retard

String theory is basically mathematical philosophy with physics as a base, it's not accepted or relevant. When you speak of 'dimension' you need to specify what you actually mean, AKA rigourously define it, there are many notions under the name 'dimension' found in science and mathematics, and beyond.

Thanks for that autism man.

>String theory is basically mathematical philosophy with physics as a base you just used "philosophy" as a slur lol. string theory is not philosophy
Andrew Gray
If you're implying that I also don't know what I'm talking about, you're incorrect
Levi Bailey
>rigourously define it
Hold up getting a phone call
Its Wittgenstein
He says good luck rigourously defining anything
Also i hear children crying in the background, not sure what thats all about
