| Oct 6 at 21:40 | comment | added | FlightDeck0112 | @AlexP Discrete can also refer to the context of the entire spatial dimension being discrete from the one we experience, not just numerical values within it. That feels more logical than stretching to discreet. | |

Questions are expected to follow a one-specific-question/one-best-answer model.

| Oct 4 at 21:20 | comment | added | JBH | ... The wonderful thing about there not being a 4th D that we know of is that you're writing all of the rules governing how things in the other 3D interact with it... if at all. Personally, I'd invite you to spend more time here and less time talking with your physics-minded friends because your world is governed by imagination and theirs by immutable laws. | |

If all particles can move not only on the x, y, and z axis... your physics-minded friends have led you astray. It's like saying a shadow has trouble forming because light can move in three dimensions. Some particles flow along magnetic field lines in 3D, but what if magnetism cannot transcend into the 4th D? What happens to a group of special particles unknown to science today that can exist in all 4D but also interact with magnetic field lines and it meets two magnetic fields that are perpendicular to one another in the 4th D? (Cool!) ... (*Continued*)

| Oct 4 at 17:29 | comment | added | Asterion | @AlexP Perhaps? To be honest, I only heard this while talking with said physicist friend, and thus may have made many terminology errors. I'm kind of going for the "detached" sense of the word? Either way, I'm just throwing around possibilities to try and make sense of a fifth dimension. | |

| Oct 4 at 8:27 | comment | added | AlexP | A discrete spatial dimension (one on which a particle could take only specific positions, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) would be completely incompatible with all the mathematical background of physics. Did you mean a discreet dimension? | |
