CHAPTER

Emergence of Space and Dimensions

This chapter explores the idea of space as an emergent quality rather than a fundamental aspect of reality, emphasizing the philosophical implications of this perspective. The discussion includes concepts from string theory, multidimensionality, and the relationship between consciousness and physics, illustrating how our perception of reality could be limited by dimensional constraints. Additionally, it examines the interconnectedness of quantum mechanics and gravity, questioning the observable nature of higher dimensions and the broader implications for our understanding of the universe.
