Yes, we have just started learning. Der Herrgott würfelt nicht!

Scientist, are you affected by dark matter, energy anomalies, difficulty in understanding the nature of time? Find the answer in "The Four Space-times Model of Reality" - Presented at the Space Technology and Applications International Forum-STAIF 2005. Albuquerque, N.M. 13-17 February 2005. Published by the American Institute of Physics.

"We are not at the center of the universe, nor are we at the center of time."

Do you want to take a trip in Space? Are you certain to know what Space is?

"Assuming the only existence of particle physics in the four-dimensional space is like believing that computers have only memory without processors.":
"Why we live in the computational universe". Regarding this paper I am very sorry for the language, "computation" is a technical word for a technical paper, I am indeed talking about the most complex and deep "mind" we can think about. Therefore the FLU clearly is a thinking mind. Let's improve the dream with research and peace.

Coming soon: "Hyperspace travel", the Four-Space is the Hyperspace, there we will travel FTL in our space-time and we will travel "interdimensionally" among the various parallel worlds.

This is a nice link to start learning: www.mkaku.org , then compare with the Four-Space approach. Please start with the right question and click here: Cosmology and the Door to Other Dimensions and Universes…. - Full paper here.

The paper "Hyperspace for Space Travel" is on the AIP web site, give a look!
General Relativity is four dimensional, therefore Gravitational Waves travel in four dimensions, right? : Gravitational Waves in the Hyperspace - Presentation for STAIF 2008 - AIP CP 969, 1055 (2008) , just read, then you can decide.

High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) are becoming a Business, see the GRAVWAVE LLC site!

Discover how to make a powerful generator of High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW). New AIP paper by Fontana and Baker! The new High Power Generator is similar to a Laser, but more sophisticated. Like lasers, a large number of quantum systems are excited, but differently from lasers, the "discharge" is performed by wavefront accompanying particles instead of particles like those that are amplified (the usual laser). NMR like mechanisms are employed to align the emitting systems. This is the great innovation introduced by the new concept. Obviously the accompanying particles wavefront must travel at exactly the same speed of HFGW. The solution to this problem is too simple... let me say trivial!
