So the dimension cannot be ruled out when we talk about the beginning of finite existence. Its just that we first have to agree on where the beginning is. And i guess that would be the absolute emptiness of space.
It's also important for them to realize that the term "space" has many different concepts involved as well. What we theoretically know of as "space" is the area in which the universe exists as opposed to the physical regions between known, measureable matter which is also called "space". Although it would add a great deal of vocabulary in, we should incorporate the differences in the theoretical and physical senses to prevent the errors that are made when generalizing a concept.
The absolute emptiness of space would be in the theoretical construct, not the physical construct as the physical construct would not yet exist in the beginning of things, it is part of what resulted within the theoretical space.
I see that you do have a good handle on the concepts!
I guess we all have different approaches to view space. I do agree that how you describe them are very important if you like others to fallow the concept, so that they can both learn and make a contribution to make the pieces fit.

The problem here is that a absolute empty space is not a "theoretical construct", That to will confuse people.
Before we had the construct of physical space. The space we today call the theoretical space was the only physical space. This space has never disappeared. But we talk about it and treat it as if it dosent exist anymore.
The irony is that we use the infinite in math and physics. But we argue that it hasn't been proven to exist. I see a lot of irony in that with people.
I also agree in the way you described the space between physical knows. Because i think a lot of people don't pay attention to details like that. I did a experiment with some people just to prove just that with this image.
I asked them how many dimension do they see: They all said two. They left out the dimension surrounding the two knows.

The big question is: How did the physical space go from this physical state.
To this physical state:
If the first physical state is a infinite state. That means that that sate is a constant state. That means it won't change without a reason. It won't change by cause. Because there are nothing physical present in this space to cause a cause.
There are no quantum elements present. Because quantum is a finite state.
Very good question. Based on the premise, there would have to be an insertion of something into the given space whether it be energy, matter or something else we are not aware of that is interconected. That would bring in concepts of various dimensions or realms of which we have no physical access to.
There would either have to have been an insertion or the original state would have been different from what we theorize it to be.
Do we have a way to support our idea that the original state was completely void or is there credance lended to the concept that perhaps it wasn't completely void and is somehow cyclic? I am merely "brainstorming" at the moment as I have not pondered this to any extent.

I asked for clarification. You gave it. I understand your meaning as for example, you believe energy cannot be added nor subtracted from the system, but it still can expand infinitely such as the space between the photons, you explained to me about earlier, will keep expanding after all the energy in the Universe has been reduced to spares radiation.
That's essentially right. The energy of expansion is vacuum potential energy, so the total energy content of the universe is conserved. Eventually, it dies out, but, at the moment, a majority of the expansion is possibly driven by the interaction of antimatter in the large-scale voids with regular matter in the filaments. This, too, will eventually die out.

I just can't accept it because the Universe contains a finite amount of energy
Oh so you "just can't accept it"... how brilliant your reasoning, you just ignore all facts and go with what you want to believe. Why don't you try learning some quantum mechanics because this simply isn't up for debate, it's fact. ALL MATTER HAS A WAVE COMPONENT, there are many experiments which have proven this fact, you cannot ever predict the exact position of a particle because it's not really a freaking particle, it's a probabilistic wave form. You can not possibly begin to explain the nature of matter without bringing quantum mechanics into the picture. Your idea of reality is vastly outdated.
I can't get over myself as i'm all "that." That's what you're asking. You are asking me to do away with some of my self confidence.
It's called having a sense of humility, to be humble rather than egotistic, to realize no one knows everything and in fact most of us know a lot less then we think we know.
You should pay attention to quote I provided on the first page of this thread:

Very interesting concept with the wave frequency! with each dimension represented by a wave, the lowest having the greatest frequency and changing as the dimensions increase would produce a frequency that was straight and unmoving as the result... very, very interesting!edit on 7-6-2012 by PurpleChiten because: (no reason given)
So, without the interaction of the two different "voids", nothing can be created in the void of the paper.
Our visual perception of the paper remains in 2 dimensions, even though we can represent 3 dimensions on it. That implies that we can represent the 4 dimensions in our 3 dimensional space and when we include time as the 4th dimension, we should be able to represent the 5th dimension and so on. ...although we don't presently know what the component of the 5th on up would be, if we knew them, we could incorporate them into the previous model to get to that model.
What are your thoughts on the magnitude of the number of dimensions? Would there be infinitely many or would there be a finite number?
The form of energy that any energy is at any given point in time is like a standing domino ready to be knocked over as it leans into the next domino which is the next form it will be transferred into from photons to electrical human thought. There is no way around this effect not even in the mind of a theoretical physicist's thinking in terms of quantum physics.
You can't introduce new energy into the Universe nor destroy existing energy, exiting it somehow
I don't see why an infinite state needs to be "constant". We are talking about infinite space-time here, if you had of read the OP I assumed space-time acted like a wave, meaning it can change because it fluctuates randomly, just as all the most fundamental aspects of reality act like a wave. We do not need to start with anything "physical" because my theory assumes that all things "physical" are really just condensed braided forms of space-time which eventually arise from the natural space-time fluctuations.

I have underlined a portion of you explanation above. Because, its not really how it takes place. Its not a interaction between the paper and the pencil/pen that form the new dimension. Its in reality the paper that must form the new dimension by it self. How it is done, i will explain a bit later.
I just had to point this out since i am not sure that is how you understood the concept.
The other thing is time. Time must have started before the new physical dimension took shape. Because it takes time to shape something. So physical time is not the 4th dimension. Time is the time the infinite dimension uses to form the first dimension. But as soon as the first clock starts a new clock is also started. "This is going to get pretty complicated". But to make it a bit easier to grasp, think of compression and expansion. They both take time, but the two are where different. Because expansions represent our physical clock. The compression does not.
We live in a physical dimension that is expanding.
I guess this will get you thinking
I will comment on the rest on this page, But you can look at this meanwhile. It takes time to do all this.

I'm sorry I just can't understand your logic and terminology, it's all just mumbo-jumbo to me. I need clear precise explanations which follow known science and established theories. Reading what you say is like reading the theories of a mad professor from another dimension.

The source is the very first video I posted in the opening thread... right at the top, along with the quote about getting a Universe for free. He posits the same theory I am positing here, that space-time can literally fluctuate like a wave and from that space-time turbulence arises negative and positive energy. This is where he believes the energy for the Universe came from, and quite frankly it's the most likely explanation imo... it's the only rational to explain why we have something in the Universe rather than nothing... because things can come from nothing, assuming you have negative-things to balance them out. I developed The Theory of NoThing before I even knew Hawking believed almost exactly the same thing.
Physical infinite space/void can not be a wave that fluctuate randomly. What would create the random wave in the void?

Nothing 'creates' the fluctuation, it's just how reality works... "when you have nothing you get something". The chances of absolutely nothing happening in infinite space-time is 0. It is the pure raw condition of reality to exhibit changes even under condition where one wouldn't expect to see changes. It can't be helped, because reality is not a perfect clockwork machine, it's a fuzzy wave of probability. Empty space-time bubbles and churns because it must, it's a mathematical certainty. I know this wont satisfy you but I can't state it any better than that.edit on 7-6-2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
