The Relationship of the Human Brain and the Dimensionality of Space-Time

p. 124-140

Résumé

The human brain and the perceived dimensionality of space-time form a self-referential system: the brain is the product of biological evolution ; it is an object that survived under the prevailing conditions when the mutations occurred that caused its existence. A major component of these conditions is the environment, which includes the dimensionality of space-time. On the other hand, the ability of the brain to perceive the dimensionality of space-time may be limited by some inherent properties of the brain, and our perception of dimensionality may be inaccurate. I explore here the possibilities that this dimensionality is actually different from 4. In particular, the possibility of 2 dimensions of time and 4 dimensions of space is explored.
