Randall's maze 6

This brings me to a very interesting point (it’s totally a tangent from Randall’s book, but oh well). It has to do with God! So God’s supposed to be omnipresent, right? Everywhere at once? Well that would include extra dimensions. And if he created the universe then he must have created those extra dimension. He created time. This means he was not subject to it in the beginning. And he must exist outside of it! And like I was saying before we are 4-D (at least) creatures. So he must see us that way. So when God looks down at a person, say Einstein, he sees him as a holistic 4-D creature and not him as an old man (the way most of us are used to seeing him). It also means that whole thing about him knowing the future and us still being able to change it doesn’t even apply. When you think about it this way a whole host of interesting consequence pop out at us. I would really like to hear what you guys think about such a weird concept so send me a line!

  1. just a side comment: wouldn't it be cool to see ourselves in 4D? We'd be like the head of a gigantic snake that connects to all of our friends and follows our paths through life. A seriously complicated maze.

  2. True but if we could make sense of that maze our lives would probably make a lot more sense too. It would be nice to see where/how we would end up.
