Hi there! Please forgive my ignorance and feel free to tell me I’m a bonehead if this question makes no sense. I love reading about physics but am a writer and artist, so anything I understand (if there is anything I understand) is more logic or intuition than something solid like, y’know…math. Thank you in advance!

Question: Has anyone posed the idea that perhaps the additional (up to 10, I think?) dimensions that current quantum-based theories require could emerge as time goes on**?**

If the entropy of a system increases as time goes on (which it be doin’), then the system will become more and more complex. We consider time the fourth dimension and think it started during the Big Bang.

Since then, the universe has been slooooowly expanding — anything living branches out in space as much as it can, which is why so many living things look like a lightning strike / axon / coral / tree roots / slime mold / blood vessels etc. etc. etc.

So — what if all of those QM-ish calculations that work out so nice and pretty mathematically are correct, but can’t be proven because the smaller dimensions that they require just have not yet emerged as part of the fabric of spacetime? If time itself is speeding up and becoming “clearer” (meaning visible in a way that it wasn’t before the epoch of reionization), who’s to say that those other, smaller dimensions won’t emerge as part of the universe’s march to heat death?

As time goes on and there’s less and less energy (and more and more dark energy, maybe coming out of / in the form of black holes) in the universe, the increasingly small bits of energy/life will indeed have to expand more and more and more to fill up whatever “empty” space is left, maybe even so much that they must unfold into smaller and smaller dimensions.

Thoughts? Thank you, friends! Peace n’ luv.
