So Prof, for internal vibrations inside the 3D space, do we require extra dimensions? Isnt the 3 spatial and the 4th Time dimension enough? By the way your explanation of Time as the fourth dimension was very good..

The way I look at it is that you have your normal 3 dimensional space of L.W,H.
We'll say that this is a cube or a sphere. That is the 3 dimensional space.
But you have a dimension outside of that space, namely time which allows for movement. If we didn't have that our sphere would be static, it would just sit there. So we have the space/time continuum, which allows our sphere to become dynamic.
You also have dimensions inside that space, the octants which gives our 3 dimensional space 8 internal dimensions. I believe those octants inside our space are vibrating and create color and sound.
And so we have space, outer space and inner space, each with there own dimensional reality but all tied together.
Best to you,
