We live in a three-dimensional world, but what if consciousness connects us to hidden dimensions? Physicist Michael Pravica, Ph.D., of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, believes consciousness can transcend the physical realm. He suggests that consciousness taps into hidden dimensions, a concept tied to hyperdimensionality—the theory that the universe consists of more dimensions than we can perceive. Pravica argues that during heightened awareness, our consciousness might interact with these dimensions, allowing us to transcend space and time. He draws parallels between this idea and religious beliefs, like the ascension of Jesus, who he suggests could be a hyperdimensional being. This idea, though controversial, provides a bridge between Pravica’s scientific and religious views. “According to the Bible, Jesus ascended into heaven 40 days after being on Earth. How do you ascend into heaven if you’re a four-dimensional creature?” Pravica asks. But, if you’re hyperdimensional, it’s very easy to travel from our familiar world into heaven, which could be a world of higher or infinite dimensions, he says. Pravica believes that we all have the ability to connect with higher dimensions when we use our brain in special ways, such as when we create art, explore science, think deeply about big questions, or even when we dream. During these moments, our consciousness breaks through the limits of the physical world and taps into these hidden dimensions, which, in turn, fill our minds with creativity. “The sheer fact that we can conceive of higher dimensions than four within our mind, within our mathematics, is a gift … it’s something that transcends biology,” he says. Hyperdimensionality also ties into advanced physics concepts, like string theory, which posits that the universe’s fundamental particles are made of tiny vibrating strings. Pravica claims that the vibrations in unseen dimensions give rise to everything we observe. Despite his bold ideas, not everyone in the scientific community agrees with Pravica. Stephen Holler, Ph.D., a professor of physics at Fordham University, critiques the idea, saying it borders on science fiction and may represent a “God of the gaps” approach, using divine intervention to explain scientific unknowns. While Holler acknowledges the value of exploring dimensions in mathematics and physics, he questions whether they truly exist or are merely theoretical constructs. Pravica believes that future advances will allow us to explore higher dimensions. For him, hyperdimensionality offers not only scientific insight but also purpose and meaning in life.
