If there exists extra dimensions folded up with more degrees of freedom at plank scale or close to plank, could it theoretically be possible to “lift” a sensor or some signal up by a plank unit in an extra dimension allowing it to “bypass” barriers?
Or would everything being technically slightly higher dimensional already (non zero) make navigating in a higher dimension even if possible, basically the same as navigating on a lower dimension?
I am thinking of something like lifting a flat stick figure above the comic/plane by a plank length and sliding it over slightly to a different part of the same comic/plane and placing it down. But in reality would barriers on this flat plane also have a slight thickness (plank also) that would effectively block out the figure even in a higher dimension, making this method of teleportation impractical?
We'll have to understand what gravity is and whether dark matter is real or one of those instances where we kept bad ideas around because they looked pretty. Dimensional manipulation (even on paper) and matter transposition comes after.
