F CHARLIE Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 yes. How would such a being exist? This being is obviously metaphysical. How would evolution allow for such a being to exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~shenanigans Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 According to Lewis' theory of possible worlds, the 6th dimension is the one with all possible universes that abide by our laws of physics and our starting conditions (big bang). All possibility would be the 10th dimension. In any case, we could not hope to comprehend what a 6th dimensional being would do. That would be trying to explain to a 2D person what it is like to move in 3D, except the gap spans three dimensions between us and the 6th dimension. And the Doctor can only travel through time (4th dimension), not possible worlds (although he does travel to an alternate universe, so I guess he can somewhat traverse the 5th dimension). It could also be said that every time he travels through time, he is jumping to a new possible world, because his actions after time traveling are incidental. Maybe he left one strand of hair after one time jump, but he could have left two strands of hair. Strictly speaking, these two worlds would be different.
