it is not possible physically yet possible mathematically;there is an equation to solve for "n" perpendicular lines not only three.

However if you are asking about time as a forth dimension that's something else. Time is a dimension in the sense that it may increase or decrease one of the three known dimension, for example if you have two cups of hot tea, and one of them has a bigger surface area, adjacent to the air ,normally it will cool faster. however the other cup of tea which has a smaller "A" may cool at the same rate if we moved the tea with a spoon , this means that the space is changing in time because the tea has speed. so a constant tea in a wide cup lose heat with the same rate as a moving tea in a narrower cup. we may say also that tea in both cups is constant and time in cup 2 has increased its area.

What are the four physical dimensions?

The four observable physical dimensions are length, width, depth, and time. Together they form a single mathematical and physical framework called the space-time continuum which is explained in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. Theoretically, there may be more dimensions than this. String theory hypothesizes as many as eleven physical dimensions consisting of ten of space and one of time.


The 3 first dimesons are space The fourth is time. So what does the last 7 contain?

The additional 7 (or possibly 8) dimensions, if indeed they exist, would also be dimensions of space and time, but they would be more curved than the more familiar 4 dimensions of space and time that we know and love.


In physics what is the space-time continuum?

The space-time continuum is a mathematical model described by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity that unites the three physical dimensions of space with time to form a single framework or fabric in which gravity or large massive bodies curve or warp this framework or fabric. This four-dimensional framework is the model to describe the universe today. However, there may be more dimensions than this according to string theory which postulates eleven physical dimensions (ten spatial plus one temporal).


Are there more than 3 dimensions in the universe?

Yes, according to current scientific theories, there are more than 3 dimensions in the universe. Some theories suggest there may be up to 11 dimensions, with the extra dimensions beyond the familiar three spatial dimensions and one time dimension being compactified or hidden from our everyday perception.


Is cyberspace a physical space?

No, cyberspace is not a physical space. It refers to the virtual environment created by interconnected computers and digital communication networks. It exists in the digital realm rather than in a physical location.

What are extra dimensional beings?

They are living "things" from a space of more dimensions than the 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time that we live in and are aware of.

Is it possible that time is nothing more than a simplified combination of multiple dimensions?

Einstein theorized that in the same why mass was energy, time was space. So, in effect, time could be nothing more than a simplification of the three dimensions we live in.


How is the word 'space' defined?

Space is the enormous volume in which matter and energy are located and through which motion takes place. Space is observed to have three dimensions, which are length, width, and depth (or height). It is hypothesized that there may be more dimensions than the three that we observe in our daily lives. String theory gives space ten dimensions and M-theory gives it as many as eleven dimensions including that of time.


How many temporal dimensions are possible within String Theory?

String Theory (as its predecessors Relativity and Quantum Mechanics) has only one dimension of time. However it has many more dimensions of space than its predecessors (both had 3 dimensions), as the simplest version of String Theory must have 10 dimensions of space, while more complex versions require more (with no defined upper limit known). The big question is "Why can't we detect those additional 7+ dimensions of space that must be present if String Theory is true?".


In paged system Can the logical address space b larger than physical address space?

Yes. This is the fundamental premise of paged or virtual memory - that you can have more logical memory than physical memory.

Difference between multicomputer and multiprocessor?

Multiprocessors have a single physical address space (memory) shared by all the CPUs whereas multicomputers have one physical address space per CPU Multiprocessors have a single physical address space (memory) shared by all the CPUs whereas multicomputers have one physical address space per CPU


Are there different dimensions in space and can you travel at the speed of light?

Yes, it is theorized that there are higher dimensions then the four we are familiar with. No, you cannot travel at the speed of light, no physical object that has mass can. However, that being said, you can, theoretically travel infinitely close to the speed of light which would, in turn, require an infinite amount of energy.


What are the differences between plane shapes and geometric shapes?

Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.


Is it true that space is the set of all points?

In a mathematical sense, space can be described as a set of points within a given context, such as Euclidean space, where points are defined by coordinates. However, in a physical context, space refers to the three-dimensional expanse in which matter exists and events occur. Thus, while it is accurate to say that mathematical space consists of points, the concept of space in physics encompasses more than just a collection of points, including dimensions, intervals, and the properties of the environment.
