Why Life Can't Exist in 4D (Probably)

Life probably cannot exist in 4D (four spatial dimensions) because the force of gravity is very weak or strong with slight changes in orbits of planets due to the fact that it would increase or decrease as a cube of the distance from the sun, not the square as we have today.

The laws of physics may be completely different in a 4D world. Sure, If you apply 3D physics to a 4D world it may not be possible, but it’s unlikely that it would be the same.

The four dimensional beings watching this video: 🗿

Of course life as we know it doesn't exist in 4D.. it is hidden in "as we know it" xD

[Mastervitro]

Gravity could simply be much more powerful than measured because there are more than 3 dimensions.... the effect of gravity itself could be interpreted as a 4th spacial dimension, which could allow for negative "anti" gravity as well

I’m honestly just thinking about Macdonalds chicken nuggets and a Hawaiian Punch icee

3D life could not exist in 4D any more than it could exist in 2D.
Life could have evolved in both 4D and 2D separately in their own dimensions.

[JimFortune]

"Life as we know it " can only exist in the universe as we know it.

Rogue planets could still have underground oceans with life. No sun required

[МаксимЯромич]

but then again, there may just be a hypothetical 4d universe with different laws of physics. And their 'gravity' or whatever is there instead could be fine with 4 dimensions. It's more like 'had our universe become 4d, the life would have disappeared'.

But i think more dimensions woukd add a new set of physics for that world which are not thinkable in a 3d world. We are just trying to visualise in the 3d world a 4d object.
And also life always adapts itself to the surroundings. The surrounding are never favourable, but life adapts to it.
And regarding orbits, the 4 dimesional world would even have more mass in comparison too

[eunickissimo]

Try thinking higher dimensional creatures like beings from the fluidic space - stvoy

[kajekage]

Except in another universe, the gravitational constant could be larger, causing things to balance out.

[Mc.Gucket]

there is one thing I don't understand . If the effect of gravity is lower, then how can the gravitational effect of distant planets have such a big effect and drag the earth either inside the sun or out of the sun?

[louisalbert]

Question : what happens to planets orbitting a dead star that has become to small? If the gravity around that star is to weak, will the planets just start flying away and become a lone planet in the universe?

[Unrg]

I found a better understanding of gravity, a better understanding of chemistry, and even a better understanding of the creation of stars and planets. It puts science in a whole new perspective.

[benedictjohannes]

Why doesn't it occur to you that gravity only exist in 3D, thus in an N dimension world, gravity doesn't have any effect in N-3 dimension?

[Mark]

It's always the "not as we know it" that needs more exploration. You're trying to find a 4d correlation to our 3d world when it's most likely something wildly different that we couldn't imagine.

Hell, there might be life in our 3d world that's so wildly different that we couldn't imagine it.

[ristags]

Gravity being a Force could have a component in this hypothetical 4th dimension to account for the weakness in magnitude talked about here. Obv we will not be able to perceive that force vector's component in the 4rth dimention even if it existed right now as well. But it will obv add to magnitude

[AlexTuduran]

Presumably, we should stop making such long-shot assumptions that attempt to generalize 3D equations to 4D just by increasing the order of a polynomial.

[SuperOlivegrove]

So the possibility of David Grusch’s claims of interdimentional travel are ?
