That&#8217;s why Cooper was seeing multiple <em>states<\/em> of the library but at different point in time. How was he able to do this? You could note that it the whole <em>universe<\/em> was not available to him. When he was in one state of the library, he walked till the end, and reached another state of the library. <\/p>\n<p>That why i guess we cannot travel in time. Because the universe is too large for us. We&#8217;d have to give up on part of our universe so as we can move in a limited section but in time too. <\/p>\n<p>But hey! What if a take my camcorder and make a short movie? It is 2D images but with <em>Time<\/em> acting as my <em>third dimension<\/em>. When i play the movie again, i can move in time. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Fifth Dimension<\/strong><br \/>\nTime as the fourth dimension to our 3 dimensional world isn&#8217;t a bad idea IMO. The fifth dimension according to the video&#8217;s author is the probabilistic space that the fourth dimension is in.<\/p>\n<p>I think <em>simulation<\/em> is what we do to actually move in 4D and 5D to predict the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chess<\/strong><br \/>\nChess is a 2D game.<br \/>\n3D would mean someone being able to move in time to see each move.<br \/>\n4D would mean the set of all possible moves playable i.e. 10^120 according to some numbers i found on the internet (needs confirm)<\/p>\n<p>The more a chess player goes into the fourth dimension and think about the possible moves that might be played after, the better he is \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>A 3D game as a First Person Shooter would require 5D to actually get all possible combinations, 4D being 3D in Time<\/p>\n<p>Ok.
