Interdimensional hypothesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to navigationJump to search
The interdimensional hypothesis (IDH or IH), is an idea advanced by Ufologists such as Jacques Vallée that says unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related events involve visitations from other "realities" or "dimensions" that coexist separately alongside our own. It is not necessarily an alternative to the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) seeing as the two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive so both could be true simultaneously. IDH also holds that UFOs are a modern manifestation of a phenomenon that has occurred throughout recorded human history, which in prior ages were ascribed to mythological or supernatural creatures.[1]
Although ETH has remained the predominant explanation for UFOs by UFOlogists,[2] some ufologists have abandoned it in favor of IDH. Paranormal researcher Brad Steiger wrote that "we are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely indigenous to planet Earth".[3] Other UFOlogists, such as John Ankerberg and John Weldon, advocate IDH because it fits the explanation of UFOs as a spiritistic phenomenon. Commenting on the disparity between the ETH and the accounts that people have made of UFO encounters, Ankerberg and Weldon wrote: "the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial visitors."[4][5] In the book UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse published in 1970, John Keel linked UFOs to folkloric or supernatural concepts such as ghosts and demons.
The development of IDH as an alternative to ETH increased in the 1970s and 1980s with the publication of books by Vallée and J. Allen Hynek. In 1975, Vallée and Hynek advocated the hypothesis in The Edge of Reality: A Progress Report on Unidentified Flying Objects and further, in Vallée's 1979 book Messengers of Deception: UFO Contacts and Cults.[6]
Some UFO proponents accepted IDH because the distance between stars makes interstellar travel impractical using conventional means and nobody had demonstrated an antigravity or faster-than-light travel hypothesis that could explain extraterrestrial machines. With IDH, it is unnecessary to explain any propulsion method because the IDH holds that UFOs are not spacecraft, but rather devices that travel between different realities.[7]
One advantage of IDH proffered by Hilary Evans is its ability to explain the apparent ability of UFOs to appear and disappear from sight and radar; this is explained as the UFO entering and leaving our dimension ("materializing" and "dematerializing"). Moreover, Evans argues that if the other dimension is slightly more advanced than ours, or is our own future, this would explain the UFOs' tendency to represent near future technologies (airships in the 1890s, rockets and supersonic travel in the 1940s, etc.).[8]
IDH has been a causative factor in establishing UFO religion.[4]

Something I just notice for the first time. Was wondering if you guys think it's possible or just retarded as is? I think our world is too dumb to even have something like this. But what do you guys think?

It's interesting although, if there were other dimensions, I don't think that there would be a planet to correspond with ours. I think that, over the billions of years, minuscule things going slightly differently would accumulate, making each universe look different. The chances of there being an alien civilization capable of finding a planet in another dimension with intelligent life which is travelling millions of miles per hour, because everything in the universe is, and then somehow managing to transport themselves onto it, are rather small.
But that's just my hypothesis.

I think bullshitting 'Ufologists' should present some hard evidence of the existence of these ufos before they start with the garbage hypothesizing. Some HD footage from multiple devices of something truly unidentifiable and not a cloud would be nice.

When religion proposes this, it's "lol superstition" and ought to be dismissed. When the softest of sci-fi writers propose it, suddenly it's a hypothesis, which makes it science.

Just wanted to point that out.

It's dumb and you should be reading this wiki article instead.
What takes less assumptions--the idea that all "UFO" sightings are misidentifications of existing aircraft or space phenomena, or are the result of optical illusion or outright fabrication (things we know exist and can affect judgement, like mass hysteria and influencing other people's memory)?

Or the fact that multiple planes of existence are out there, of which we have no proof and no idea how they came into being, with nary a clue on their laws, and that every UFO sighting we've ever documented has been an "interaction" between dimensions, but we also can't explain how this interaction would take place only in a specific way such that it manifests as lights in the sky on planet earth and nowhere else in the observable universe?

I thought UFOS being ghosts was pretty obvious. It makes sense that ghosts visit earth from the afterlife in large ships when you really think about it. C'mon, I thought you guys were smart.

At least the UFO ghosts know the earth is flat :stress:

p.s. not serious

What, so Sliders was a documentary? I see those 4 fags come through my dimension I'm mugging their asses for the special TV remote and sliding until I find a dimension where everyone's gorgeous and people say hello with fellatio.

Alternate Dimensions is a silly notion only because there is no way to actually observe or find them. It's just a big "what if" situation. If they did exist, there would almost be an infintisemally large amount of dimensions where the only difference between them is how one particle moved in a single nano-second and ends up having no effect on the greater universe. No one ever seems to consider that, they want to assert that chaos theory demands greater consequences. Not every minute action causes a greater consequence.

Edit: accidently posted before finishing.

If we could then assume that each and every dimension is mapped out and connected in someway to other dimensions, it would be easier to go to the edge of our universe than it would be to travel to a dimension along this web that is different in any observable way.
