The God, the Unmanifest and the Other Dimensions

People often ask, during arguments, show me the proof the God exists. Let's try to understand if is possible to prove or disprove the existence of the God with our current understandings.

What are the dimensions?

Let's first try to understand the dimensions.

We live in a three dimensional world, in general. We can only feel or observe things in 3 dimensions (length, width and height/depth).

A point has zero dimensions because it has no length, width or height.
A line has one dimension only - length.
A square (or surface) has two dimensions - length and width.
A cube (or volume) has three dimensions - length, width and height.

Albert Einstein and The fourth dimension

Albert Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the universe by introducing the concept of four-dimensional spacetime. In his theory of relativity, space and time are intertwined into a single continuum known as spacetime. This framework consists of three spatial dimensions (length, width, and height) and one temporal dimension (time).

Physicists have since explored the possibility of additional dimensions beyond the four we experience. Some theories, like string theory, suggest that there could be up to ten or even eleven dimensions, but these extra dimensions are compactified and not directly observable.

Lower Dimensions can't Observe the Higher Dimensions

A one dimensional line consists of infinite number of zero dimensional points.
A two dimensional surface consists of an infinite number of one dimensional lines.
A three dimensional volume consists of an infinite number of two dimensional surfaces

Consider a snail in a stadium at the center of a football field. We know that the stadium is three dimensional, the two dimensional playground and the stands or parapets where the spectators seat.

The snail may gloud around the entire football field and may never reach the stands and would probably "think" that the stadium is two dimensional.

Related Geeta Verses

Let's review some verses from Shrimadbhagavadgita which may be related to higher dimensions.

Everything is pervaded by me, and in me. I am not in them.

मया ततमिदं सर्वं जगदव्यक्त मूर्तिना ।
मत्स्थानि सर्वभूतानि न चाहं तेष्ववस्थितः ॥९:४॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
All of this universe is pervaded by me in an unmanifested form. All the beings are occupying a space in me, but I am not occupied in them.

I am not observable by the manifested beings.

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥९:५॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
Yet the manifested beings contained in me do not see my power of Yog (union), Maintaining the manifested being but not abiding in the those manifested beings, my soul is the producer of the manifested beings.

Just like the air up and around us, I am around everything.

यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय ॥९:६॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
Just like the air is always there high up everywhere, all the beings are held up on me in the similar manner.

There is an eternal beyond the unmanifest. That does not get destroyed when everything else is annihilated.

परस्तस्मात्तु भावोऽन्योऽव्यक्तोऽव्यक्तात्सनातनः ।
यः स सर्वेषु भूतेषु नश्यत्सु न विनश्यति ॥८:२०॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
But, beyond than that unmanifest, there is another eternal existence, which is in all the beings, and is not annihilated when all the beings are annihilated..

This universe is just a fraction of me.

अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन ।
विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥१०:४२॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
What would you rather want to know more like this, O Arjun? The entire universe is being held by a fraction of me.
