I was in bus when a thought crossed me. Remember what Bohr said about
the shells of atom? They have certain energy in which electrons are
free to move without loosing energy.(That was due to wave interference
of course). Can we apply same principal to dimensions, Having some
different(hidden) sort of energy, which we matter also possess, and
hence are able to wander in the dimensions.(May not be about waves but
I have lots to say about it and many arguments to support it)

Given time and conservation of momentum, space is formed.  Energy
isn't always conserved globally.

Dear David, Of course you must be right. You may have a lot of
knowledge of the subject but I am only very new.I'm just 16 but have
far more knowledge of this subject then my peers and much more than a
layman. All I wish to say is that can't we look into something with a
completely different pespective. Maybe it is these dimension limits of
energy that don't allow us to cross light's speed or cool anything
below 0 K(-273.15 c) .Maybe if we can find some way to break these
hidden energy barriers and so we can escape into new dimensions( which
may not be curved or string scale small)  with diffrent energy bounds.
This might sound funny to you, but please reply me back.

Sure - but that perspective must make sense.  Dimension and energy are
entirely different concepts.  For a modern view of what energy is see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether's_theorem
As you can there is a connection - but it is subtle.

That is a lot of ifs - in science it is wise to proceed with less grand
speculation and only after one has understood the basics:

Maintain your interest - but harness it correctly.

"...look into something with a completely different perspective." That
sounds like true science to me, unlike most of the postings here.

Ah! You confuse "science" with "originality".
You think scientists get famous because they are creative and not
because they are *right*?

No Henry - I was going to write something similar before I saw Paul's
response.  There is a differerence between originality and nonsense.
Sometimes things that are original are not nonsense - those are the ones
that are generally pursued in science.  Most of the time even those turn out
a dead end - very few make the grade.  Your trouble is you, Henry, can't
distinguish nonsense from something that just may be true.  Falling space
for example is nonsense - Kaluza-Klein theory looks weird and is original -
but is not nonsense and in fact may be true.  The original poster needs to
learn the difference to make progress.  Gerard t'Hooft spells it out quite
clearly here:
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~thooft/theoristbad.html
The fact you do not recognize your ideas are nonsense does not change the
fact they are; nor does it change the fact the original posters ideas are
'nonsense'.  Studying and understanding basic physics and math will go part
way in allowing you (and the original poster) to tell the difference.
Theories that are nonsense were described by Pauli as 'not even wrong'.
Once you understand the basics it is usually easy to recognize such - and
the more you understand the easier it is to recognize.  To an outsider that
looks like a high priesthood laying down the law (and what you see cranks
ramble on about); to those with even a minimal knowledge it is simply common
sense.  BTW even scientists are not immune to proposing nonsense - Pauli was
often sounded out my Einstein to ensure his ideas were not nonsense.  Pauli
helped Einstein see many of his ideas were 'not even wrong'.

That's right. "Looking into something with a completely different
perspective" is no indicator of it being "true science". It is an
indicator of originality, not of science.

Just as you will probably never understand stringing words together in ways
silly from the very definition of those words - like dimension energetically
creates isomorphism's or similar rubbish you see from cranks or trolls
trying to ape them - while original - is utter nonsense.  Falling space is
also an example.  This was a key philosophical insight of Wittgenstein;
http://www.kfs.org/~jonathan/witt/ten.html
The tractatus is terse and difficult but its last line is plain as day
'Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.'

For example, deciding that the Universe is controlled by invisible
cats would be looking into things with a completely different perspective.
However unless I can find some experimental support for the invisible
cats, it is not scientific.

And actually you don't even need direct evidence of invisible cats. All
you need is the prediction of a measurable phenomenon that stems from
the presence and influence of invisible cats, and which phenomenon is
not predicted by any other preceding theory. If the measurable
phenomenon turns out as predicted, then it is reasonable to assume the
presence and influence of invisible cats.

Given the fascination that cats have with gravity, especially
their desire to test it at 3am by knocking things off the
nightstand, I have always suspected there was some deeper connection.

Do you know some breakthrough in physics that has been done without "looking
into something with a completely different perspective"?

Yes, indeed. Lasers, for example. Electroweak unification, for another.
Cosmic microwave background, for another. There are many cases where
the act of genius is in reality the synthesis of a bunch of little
pieces that are already in the literature, plus a healthy dash of
courage.

That's not to say that there aren't breakthroughs in physics that have
involved stepping back and taking a fresh perspective. But, as I said
earlier, the thing that drives those physicists is finding out what is
*right*, not finding something *new*. You have your priorities mixed
up.

Now here is some real action going over the "different perspective"
thing. I posted that. I'm very new and it was just a creative thought.
I don't have much knowledge regarding the subject. It's just my mind
that uncontrollably flies in the world of physics. But I'm learning
really fast with the help of members of this group and some good
quality textbooks. But I will also like to add that once even 'earth is
round' seemed to be a creative and unscientific thought, or evolution
or even universal nature of a single force called gravity(However
whoever proposed these thoughts were, unlike me, greatest minds of
their time). And as you believe in quantum mechanics(as I hope), you
cannot completely discard probabilty of any event, however small it may
be.

Dear Nishu:

No, the Greeks had identified that the Earth was round (and
measured the curvature), long before Europeans got in trouble
with the Church for pointing out the facts.  "The Earth Is Round"
was simply politically incorrect, because the Church was dominant
in politics at that time.

That is one of the problems with applying quantum mechanics to
the real world.  A probability can be assigned to a particular
cow, having been slaughtered, processed, and consumed... to be
reconstituted into the original cow.

Your idea is not sharp, not in focus.  Until you make some
predictions, it can neither be supported nor defeated.  Until it
is fully expressed (or discarded), it will always stand between
you and more understanding.  Your next step is to see what
"dimensions are energy" implies...

Indeed - for the full gory detail see

And that is where a problem arises - time is a dimension - but Noethers
theorem shows that energy is basically about time symmetry which would seem
to rule the idea out.  However you may still wish to pursue it - but it does
not look fruitful - ie as Pauli would say - it seems not even wrong.

The remarks by PD and myself were not directed at you.  You seem quite
genuine and simply need a little direction pointing to get on the right
track.  It was directed at others who have been given that direction many
times and fail to see it.  They confuse silly semantics with creativity.

  Mathematicians only get famous for manufacturing
  extrema garbage about cateogories.

  Physcists only get famous because the morons
  can still read The Fig Newton even after the Three Mile Island
Meltdown.

  Evolutionists only get famous because they
  know where to get strong coke, vis 'a vis  weak coke.
