Quote:20.7 Questioner: Is the physics of Dewey Larson correct?
Ra: I am Ra. The physics of sound vibrational complex, Dewey, is a correct system as far as it is able to go. There are those things which are not included in this system. However, those coming after this particular entity, using the basic concepts of vibration and the study of vibrational distortions, will begin to understand that which you know as gravity and those things you consider as “n” dimensions. These things are necessary to be included in a more universal, shall we say, physical theory.
Ah! Isn't it funny how certain lines are lost to the memory. I have always used this quote as reason for further exploring RST in the hopes of seeing where else it may be able to go. Interestingly, I hadn't really thought about looking at RST with respect to gravity and "n" dimensions until you pointed it out.
Okay, so in answer to you earlier question, I would say yes, perhaps this is applicable to the question of RST vis-a-vis a flat, open or closed universe. I also find it interesting that Ra brings up our old friend "n" dimensions here as well. This might be a good time to bring up something I've avoided up to now. Given that clearly there is existence outside of our known universe (aka space and time), it logically can be concluded that there are more dimensions than the three of space and three of time. In Dewey's later works, (written after the Ra contact, by the way), such as his most metaphysical work: "Beyond Space and Time", Dewey was examining this need and actually did conclude that there has to be something more than the s/t t/s based universe.
