I spend my lunch often learning about things. Here's my latest lesson. Enjoy!

I'm intrigued, though I'll have to save this for after work today.

Pretty cool video.

So, if you could see 4 dimensional time/space from the 5th dimension which would include all of time in one 3D snap shot, from the big bang to the big crunch or the new theory where the Universe just expands forever and then fades away into nothing, what would it look like? I suppose an expanding forever Universe would look like a rotated parabola but Autocad can't draw that.

Here's my interpretation of a big bang, big crunch Universe. A 2D and 3D view of our 4D Universe if viewed from the 5th dimension: smiley

Ok, I cheated and traced a bunch of polyline arcs over an ellipse and stuck a partial circle on the end and revolved that into an approximation of an expanding parabola.

You'll need to log in to post.
