Hi Zelta and all,

I think you are right Zelta, when you suggest that I have inserted my own interpretation into the book. I tried to study what scientists have discovered and in order to obtain a new or slightly different understanding of reality, I tried to look at it from a different angle, or you might say, in another way. For instance, I believe when Einstein worked out his special theory of relativity, he showed the law of time dilation which says that when an object travels at the speed of light, the time factor becomes zero. Here, I speculated, that Einstein had discovered a new dimension, the fifth or quantum dimension, which is a special case of the fourth dimension. I believe Einstein had a difficulty of combining the fourth dimension and the quantum dimension, because he restricted himeself to the fourth dimension.

In the fourth dimension, no particle with rest mass can travel at the speed of light since according to the laws of special relativity, as the object gains speed it also gains in kinetic energy and mass; it requires infinite energy for the object to travel at the speed of light and its mass would become infinite. However, this is impossible and thus the object will never be able to travel at the speed of light. Quanta particles on the other hand, do travel at the constant speed of light, and they consists of a quantisize quantity of energy which is its frequency times the constant of the quantity of a Planck. Here we have a different world, the quantum world, which has its own physical laws and which gives a different understanding of physical reality.

I feel both dimensions of physical reality, the fourth and the fifth, are necessary to gain a proper understanding of physical reality and of the universe. In Einstein's time quantum physics, was a new science and I feel it was Einstein himself who contributed greatly to its development. However, I think, Einstein might have failed to see the connection between the fourth and the fifth dimension because there was no necessity to speculate about the fifth dimension. The fact that the idea of the Big Bang theory seemed to explain the origin of the universe, Einstein even dropped his theory of the universal constant, the theory that in the universe there exists a force that counter acts the expansion of the universe to make it stable.

I think, it was only later when the quantum world was better known and scienists knew about black holes and astronomers where able to discover them in the comos, that we were able to work out new theories of the origin of the universe. We were also able to better understand the link between the fourth and the fifth dimensions of the universe and use this new understanding in gaining a better understanding of the beautiful universe in which we live.

I feel, Einstein did a lot of the ground work which inables us now to get a better understanding of the physical universe. Our understanding might still be speculation because in the physical sciences we can not talk about certainties. When Newton discovered the laws of motions and the laws of gravity, scientists only talked about Newtonian understanding of physical reality in three dimensional terms. This lasted until Einstein came along and showed, reality could also be viewed from a four dimensional perspective. This gave us a far greater understanding of reality and we were able to discover the reality of the atom, subatomic particles and nuclear power. May be, when the physical universe is studied from a fifth dimensional perspective, from the quantum dimension and in relation to the other dimensional perspectives, we might be able to discover new and greater realities that might also bring greater benefits to humanity.

Yours Cosvis.
