Fourth Dimension Breakthrough: New Metamaterial Controls Energy Waves

Scientists engineered a synthetic metamaterial to direct mechanical waves along a specific path, which adds an innovative layer of control to 4D reality, otherwise known as the synthetic dimension. Everyday life involves the three dimensions or 3D — along an X, Y, and Z axis, or up and down, left

Intriguing.

"Topological pumping" oo-er!

Isn't the 'fourth dimension' just time?

Isn't the 'fourth dimension' just time?

20th century physicists did think that.

"recent years scientists like Guoliang Huang, the Huber and Helen Croft Chair in Engineering at the University of Missouri, have explored a “fourth dimension” (4D), or synthetic dimension, as an extension of our current physical reality."

These days the 4th dimension seems to be considered differently in terms of a synthetic dimension.

(I have no idea what that means)

It doesn’t matter

It sounds like you do

Can Elon Musk monetise it then fuck it up?

He already has....in the 5th dimension

Diverting earthquakes.

Diverting earthquakes.

Yes...they do mention something about diverting the energy crrated by an earthquake away from buildings. I got the impression this would be something structural and built under the building..
