Does Anyone know what the 4th or the 5th demensions are or include??

Question

i asked my dad and he didnt know, so i thought the ol yahoo answers will hep meh

Answer 1

4th dimension=time

5th and above gets into string theory and if anyone says that they compleltly understand it they dont really understand it (someone famous said that about quantum...schrodinger maybe?)

Answer 2

From left to right, the square has two dimensions, the cube has three and the tesseract has four.

From left to right, the square has two dimensions, the cube has three and the tesseract has four.

In mathematics the dimension of a space is roughly defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify every point within it[1][2]. Dimensions can be thought of as the axes in a Cartesian coordinate system, which in a three-dimensional system run left-right, up-down and forward-backward. A set of three coordinates on these axes, or any other three-dimensional coordinate system, specifies the position of a particular point in space[3]. In the physical world, according to the theory of relativity the fourth dimension is time, which runs before-after. An event’s position in space and time is therefore specified if four coordinates are given.

On surfaces such as a plane or the surface of a sphere, a point can be specified using just two numbers and so this space is said to be two-dimensional. Similarly a line is one-dimensional because only one coordinate is needed, whereas a point has zero dimensions. In mathematics, spaces with more than three dimensions are used to describe other manifolds. In these n-dimensional spaces a point is located by n coordinates (x1, x2, … xn). Some theories, such as those used in fractal geometry, make use of non-integer and negative dimensions.

Another meaning of the term "dimension" in physics relates to the nature of a measurable quantity. In general, physical measurements that must be expressed in units of measurement, and quantities obtained by such measurements are dimensionful. An example of a dimension is length, abbreviated L, which is the dimension for measurements expressed in units of length, be they meters, nautical miles, or lightyears. Another example is time, abbreviated T, whether the measurement is expressed in seconds or in hours. Speed, which is the distance (length) travelled in a certain amount of time, is a dimensionful quantity that has the dimension LT −1 (meaning L/T). Acceleration, the change in speed per time unit, has dimension LT −2.

Answer 3

cousins about the fourth dimension. Have you heard of it so far ?? Well, to explain it,it is something like a hypercube. A point is a zero dimensional object. If you drag this point along the x axis,you get a line a one dimensional object.If you drag this line along the y axis you get a square which is a two dimensional object. If you drag this square along the z axis you get a cube which is a three dimensional object.And if you drag this cube along the ana and kata directions ,bingo !!!! we get a four dimensional object. But wait,what are these ana and kata directions. They are assumed to be the axis which form the foruth dimesnion. So if such a dimension exists ,we'd probably be unaware of things that exist in that world. It opens up an ocean of possibilities. But is it true ?? GOD KNOWS !!! If any of you have any knowledge about fourth dimension please post it here .

Answer 4

the dimensions refer to points in space. 2 dimensions...height and width or area. 3 dimensions adds depth or volume...logically then the fourth is time....i think
