Expanding Consciousness into the Multiverse

A dear friend of mine in British Columbia sent me this link today. He knows of my interest in [tag]quantum physics[/tag] and [tag]string theory[/tag] (a layperson’s interest, obviously — though I’m always delighted by how these two speculative sciences end up sounding so much like [tag]spirituality[/tag] and [tag]mysticism[/tag]) and indeed, I found a lot to play with at

Imagining the Tenth Dimension.

I recommend you have Flash 8 installed to view the media-rich version of the site, though author Rob Bryanton thoughtfully provides a plain text version for those who can’t support the lastest Flash version. However, if you can, take that Flash tour entitled Imagining the Tenth Dimension which has some really simple, easy-to-understand illustrations accompanying a really simple, easy to understand voice-over.

There is one caveat, which I opt to include here in the author’s own words because he says it better than I could in his Preamble:

The “[tag]theory of reality[/tag]” that I advance on this website and in the book “Imagining the Tenth Dimension” is not the one that is commonly accepted by today’s physicists. Anyone wanting to know more about the currently established thinking behind string theory, [tag]physics[/tag], and [tag]cosmology[/tag] should refer to such excellent books as “The Trouble with Physics” by Lee Smolin, “Parallel Worlds” by Michio Kaku, “The Fabric of the Cosmos” by Brian Greene, or “Warped Passages” by Lisa Randall.I invite you to think of this as an entertaining diversion that for some people will have a strong and thought-provoking connection to their impression of how the world really works. [...] Enjoy!

This book just went to the top of my acquisition list. I hope you’ll find ways to appreciate a new way of looking at the [tag]multiverse[/tag] by checking it out!
