Umm... Well, a 4th spatial dimension sounds like pseudo science.
Space is made up of 3 dimensions. Up/down, forward/backward, left/right. This cant be changed without changing the whole concept of space.
You didn't read the article, did you?
And saying this isn't pseudo science? Source please?
Time is another dimension, and it is essentially the experience of space at different points.
Consciousness, is the 5th dimension.
More mumbo-jumbo.
Thus, it would make more sense for you to say that consciousness will have a greater impact on this lower dimension of reality - of space and time, rather than time, which is the 4th dimension.
An enhanced spiritual awareness of reality within physicality would initself somewhat change our experience of time and space.
Or, maybe you need to close your mind before your brain falls out. And, no, I don't buy into any of this stuff.
Okay. well forget I said "love", and just say light. Light is real. Love is real too, and these are things that become expanded in the 4th dimension of expansion. In regards to light, which appears to be what u know of, maybe you've heard that in NDE people can see colors that know one ever knew existed. Maybe you don't believe in NDEs. Maybe you just think its a chemical reaction. Maybe I think its a chemical reaction, but it is nevertheless substantial. Maybe you don't believe in life after death. But you are more than just your body, you are a cell on the body of the planet earth, and your death is isignificant to the life of your greater body (earth). Therefore, from that perspective you never died. Because you are the earth.
Maybe you don't buy into that either. Maybe you need to open your mind some more then.
Correct. String and M-theory postulate a 10 spatial and 1 temporal dimension (4 expanding, 6 contracting), but the other 6 are curled into Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Scientists say there might be 10 or 11. I'll go with that for now.

1st : Sound
2nd : Light
3rd: Physical matter
4th: Time
...
1. (spatial) Length
2. (spatial) Height
3. (spatial) Depth
4. (temporal, non-spatial) Time
4. (spatial) - ??edit on 22-4-2011 by BigBrotherBear because: Tim Allen grunt
You know how everything exists with a frequency and how sound at the right hertz can distort light or even break matter. Paranormal phenomena can be sounds from electrical source or "ghosts", which is light that can't really reach the 3rd dimension properly. Of course this all speculation
I think we had it all wrong with length, height, depth...
Existence can not be just a length, but it can be just sound or just light.
That's why I believe that the 3rd dimension is physical matter.

I'm sorry, it's not "reflecting" off of them. The particles that make up their body are constantly emitting photonic radiation, whether that be a particle-wave duality or not, your brain DOES interpret the light and form a picture. But that does not mean the the particles that make up their body are photons (light).

This thread demonstrates perfectly how there is no real basis(or coherent thought) for 2012, other than possibly an interesting astronomical observation, which is what the mayan calendar was based on. they never stated the world would end, and definitely didn't mention a 4th dimension. Crazies jump on the bandwagon and apply all of there crackpot theories and assumptions to a completely unrelated date. Sound is not a dimension, nor is light or "stationary"(standing still is a dimension....really?). And light is most definitely not love, it is composed of photons. I'm afraid those types of comments demonstrate the dire situation our educational system is in.
Study a cube, it demonstrates the principles of the 3 dimensions quite nicely.
"light is light".....................thank you captain obvious
OP I applaud you for wanting a scientific discussion and not "mumbo jumbo", however I'm afraid there is only the mumbo jumbo to be had in discussing 2012.
Any article that isn't empirical and independently verifiable is completely worthless. Even newspapers should be taken with a grain of salt, because the headlines are only designed to grab a readers attention. So that eliminates 99% of "sources" on this site.

BTW, we already live in 4 dimensions if you count time. The 5th dimension is merely what is experienced inside of us, what is introverted, as opposed to the outside and extrovert 4 dimensions. The 5th dimension is when humanity is connected on the inside as opposed to connected merely on the outside.

There you go with Dimensions again. No, light is not a dimension, neither are particles. You are putting too much emphasis on this than needs to be.

It seems a lot of people are talking about meta (super) physical abilities opening up, which, if a fourth spatial dimension were to expand into our 3 spatial dimensions, it may allow things we've never dreamed possible.
Although some of what you said (chakras, etc) border on new ageish-ness, I do see that telepathy (what we think of it) or telepresence may be opened up if we can move through a fourth dimension between the three dimensions we see (hyperspace). I guess it's possible.

Expansion and contraction would be IN the 3 dimensions we see now. A 4th spatial dimension cannot, presently, be seen, just as a 2 dimensional being on a sheet of paper wouldn't understand UP and DOWN.
The 4th SPATIAL dimension would be as different to us as the Flatlanders flying through Spaceland.
