I'm less interested in physics, then to the ways we could overcome the laws of physics and achieve stuff we see in TV - long-space travel, teleportation etc

Ugh, that's what I'm studying right now. My god I still haven't got my head around how to calculate the wavelength and the distance between the slits. The physics book I have right now sucks.
[QUOTE=JDB;25201625]what is that a image of?[/QUOTE]
Light diffraction caused by shining it through slits. I don't know if there are one or two slits used in that image though.
It's classically somewhat explainable with waves, but not with particles.
[QUOTE=JDB;25201625]what is that a image of?[/QUOTE]
Diffraction and interference pattern caused by light.
This might explain it better.

Is that the double slit experiment?
I didnt see it at first but Ive heard of that slit experiment before
motherfuckers know when they are being watched
We normally think of light as particles, but if you shine it trough 2 slits with a very small distance from each other. Then pattern such as Johnny's shows up.

oh no my merge

It's usually done with monochromatic light but i suppose it might result in some kind of rainbow patterns with white light

No idea actually, in the examples in my book it has always been monochromatic light, red lasers that is.

White light or potatoshop?
IIRC the same kind of patterns arise with reflection instead of diffraction if the surface has grooves or bumps instead of holes. I think that's the reason behind the rainbow patterns on CDs' surfaces.

"The grooves of a compact disc can act as a grating and produce iridescent reflections."
Wikipedia agrees.

Yes that is true, speaking of all this physics stuff here is a site that I highly recommend:
[url]http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html[/url]
It's summarizes many important points in a large amoutn physic subjects. It even has Quantum Physics and gives some examples on occasions where classical physics fails.

[QUOTE=ThePuska;25200522]if we had proof of the higgs boson then what would we need the LHC for
a plane is two-dimensional so if it moves in one additional plane, it moves in two additional dimensions
having access to extra dimensions doesn't mean that it's capable of moving backwards in time
you aren't making any sense[/QUOTE]
....
Somone on a 2 dimensional plane would be able to teleport if he could use a third dimention to move around in undetected by its 2d brethren.
Since the 4th dimension can be seen as time you would be able to teleport trough timevis the 5th dimention.

No because the 5th dimension is spatial and the 4th is temporal.

Time is no different. There's no reason why an extra dimension would allow something to teleport around in time when it normally can't.

You can lift an ant up from its usual living surface, giving it an extra dimension. But to make it reappear somewhere else than where you picked it up, you would have to move your hand in the directions of the surface.

Except if the surface is bent. Like a 2D ant walking around a bent piece of paper. It would perceive it as flat but you could pick it up and move it up on some other location of the paper and to the ant it would seem like it traveled a great distance, eventhough it moved just a little.

It would allow the ant to reappear somewhere else while remaining undetected in his native plane sounds like teleportation to me.
If an ant lives on a x,z plane it could dissapear from that plane in the y direction and reappear somewhere else in the x,z plane.
He would have to travel the normal distance that he would also have to travel in the x,z plane + the Y distance.

Its a way to make quantum mechanics understandable in the real world.
Explains the abillity of a quantum particle to have multiple states until measured.

It's best to just think of it as 10 spatial dimensions and a temporal dimension. Having the 4th dimension be time, and going back to spatial with all the others is kind of confusing.

Is there mathimatical proof that time is actually a different "form"of dimension as opposed to the 1 to 3.
Maybe we just percieve it as diferrent.
If it it 10+1 is the correct way to display it indeed.

Which has been my point all the time. Please read your original post again and see if there's any conflict between its claims and this one.
A fifth dimension doesn't allow arbitrary hopping around in time. Changing your position in the temporal dimension requires movement in the temporal dimension, it's that simple.

If that's teleporting, then I could go into a pitch black room and re-emerge from it the next day and claim that I'm a visitor from the past!
You aren't moving to another time, you're just waiting for time to pass as it normally does. Except you're doing it out of sight.
