Hyperspace, by Michio Kaku Pg 9

Since the theory was considered to be a wild speculation, it was never taught in graduate school; so young physicists are left to discover it quite by accident in their casual readings. This alternative theory gave the simplest explanation of light; that it was really a vibration of the fifth dimension, or what used to be called the fourth dimension by the mystics. If light could travel through a vacuum, it was because the vacuum itself was vibrating, because the “vacuum” really existed in four dimensions of space and one of time. By adding the fifth dimension, the force of gravity and light could be unified in a startlingly simple way...


Maybe someone can explain this better, then the fifth element?

The Fifth Element, seems appropiate in a numbers of ways.

It makes me think of the fifth postulate of Euclid, as well as the fifth dimension of Kaluza.

In a evolutionary sense and geometrical one, I hope to demonstrate the need for moving towards this principal and recognize, the value of first principles and all the pathways that can be established and have been.

Providing the fifth element, is a power full recognition of what began in the beginning as well as what exists in our minds as ideas. Where do ideas come from?

It is much easier for me to provide the groundwork, for developing minds to engage these principals in a most wonderful and creative way, and in nurture, Mothers provide a most valuable frame work for its children:) Fathers hope to instill independance and thinking minds, that these same children, have come out of the home with nurture and growth and Fathers will help to move them beyond.

F theory and Vafa?:)
