Understanding Higher Dimensions as a Layperson

Image
     Y ou might have come across terms like ‘fourth dimension’ or higher dimensions in movies, science fiction books, or through people talking about scientific theories. So what exactly are higher dimensions? We are all familiar with the three spatial dimensions (3D): length, breadth, and height, which are used for defining the shape and size of our physical world. Everything in the physical world around us including, tools, people, buildings, structures, and other objects, can be measured using three spatial dimensions. The 4th dimension      In physics and mathematics, the concept of dimensions beyond 3D is very prominent. Our universe is said to exist in a four-dimensional continuum referred to as spacetime. Spacetime is comprised of three dimensions of space and one dimension of time stitched together. It might be hard to visualize the fourth dimension (i.e. time) because we are used to visualizing dimensions only in terms of space. But think about it ...

Am 'I' my brain? A contemplation on consciousness

Image
     Have you ever wondered what it is that makes you ‘you’?

Of course, anatomically your brain is part of your body but let’s approach this philosophically because when it comes to consciousness it’s more philosophy than science.      Philosophers and neuroscientists have been trying to figure out consciousness for centuries but we still have no idea what exactly it is. Everyone has a different theory and definition of consciousness. Cogito, ergo sum      When I was in my early teenage years, I was getting into books that introduced me to the fascinating world of science, philosophy, and literature. I was reading biographies of scientists an...

Have aliens really visited us? : Congress UFO Hearing July 2023

    A couple of weeks ago, I watched the entire video  of the UFO hearing held by Congress on July 26, 2023. The hearing affected me more than I expected it to. I got obsessed with UFOs after that. And then I started looking up videos about UFOs on YouTube. I started going through subreddits that were dedicated to UFOs. I went through multiple threads discussing the UFO hearing on Reddit, going through hundreds of comments.  What happened in the UFO hearing?     If you don't know what exactly happened in that hearing then let me try to summarize it for you. Basically, three former military officials testified to Congress that the US government is keeping information about UFOs under wraps, even from the US Congress. And that the US government is also in possession of UFOs. And the most stunning part of the testimony was the claim that the US government is in possession of 'non-human biologics' found in the crashed UFOs. There wasn't any evidence presented d...
