(Clearwisdom.net) Professor Lisa Randall, a theoretical physicist at Harvard, said that during one of her nuclear fission experiments she found, to her surprise, that some of the particles suddenly disappeared. She boldly hypothesized that these particles suddenly vanished without any trace because they had flown into "a fifth dimension" invisible to humans.
In the past few decades it has been widely held in the world of physics that, besides the four dimensions (three directional dimensions plus time) that human beings are aware of, there are additional dimensions or spaces. The discovery of dark energy and dark matter was a shock to the world of science, which could offer no explanations for them. So, many physicists believe that there are numerous universes, as well as multiple dimensions.
Unlike the normal string theory, the extra "fifth dimension" put forward by Professor Randall could be infinitely large. Most significantly, she suggested a method to test the existence of the extra dimension, although it would be fairly expensive to do it. Currently the European Atomic Nuclear Research Center is building the world's largest particle accelerator more than 300 feet deep in the ground in an area along the Swiss-French border. It will cost up to four billion dollars. If there are particles disappearing during experiments, that would prove that they have gone into a "fifth dimension" invisible to man.
If a fifth dimension or other dimensions do exist, it will provide man with a new vision of a drastically changed understanding of the universe, time-space, and life. For instance, there may be matter, energy, or even life in other dimensions, and substances in our three-dimensional world may suddenly disappear into other dimensions. Conversely, it is possible that substances, energy, and life in other dimensions may all of a sudden appear in our dimension. There are also questions around the existence of souls and similar topics that hinge upon the existence of another dimension. If other dimensions are proven to be in existence, they will certainly provide strong clues for answering such questions.
It may be hard to believe that a topic that Western science is spending staggering amounts to research is no mystery to ancient Chinese civilization. Since ancient times, the cultivation community in China has always been able to directly understand other dimensions, and a good cultivator is even able to enter other dimensions.
Some people may ask, "Western science has poured so many resources into it and still has not proven the existence of other dimensions. But ancient China didn't have any of our modern technology. How could it have explored other dimensions?" So people just don't believe it because they don't have a clear understanding of ancient China and why ancient Chinese civilization was so advanced. In what way was it advanced?
If the path one takes is right, exploring the mysteries of the universe, other dimensions, and life does not require the sophisticated instruments of modern science. If the path is wrong, no matter how sophisticated the instruments may be, the universe and life will remain forever an enigma. The cultivation community in China has long realized that other dimensions may appear in this world. Mirages, for one, are a reflection of scenes in other dimensions into our world.
Cultivation in Falun Gong naturally involves other dimensions and supernormal phenomena related to other dimensions. As a matter of fact, Falun Gong is far ahead of modern science in many regards, and after delving into it, one will indeed find it to be an amazing, supernormal science.
