The document discusses the concept of dimensional worlds and travel between dimensions. It uses the analogy of 1D beings that exist on a line or circle and can only travel left or right. Taking a dimensional "turn" would allow them to travel directly between two points rather than along the curved path. Similarly, humans exist in 3D but could potentially travel between points in 3D space through extra dimensions, shortening the distance. Bending or changing the shape of the dimensional container could further minimize travel distances, in effect achieving faster-than-light travel or time travel within our universe.

1. Something Cool
1D – Land: Can move only left or right along the line
This line might exist in some container, perhaps like this:

2. The 1D-World
Or like this:

3. The 1D-World
Or perhaps, 1D-Land exists in 3D-Land:

4. The 1D-World could be a
Circle
Or perhaps 1D-Land isn’t a line at all, but rather a curve
Or better yet, a circle:

5. The 1D-World could be a
Circle
Hence, 1-D worlders can move forward or backwards along the circle
And travel infinitely, wrapping around the circle many times if they
wish.

6. 2D-Landers
If we extend this to 2D-Landers who can only move along the surface:
Eventually, they can cover the entire surface, wrapping and looping.

7. 3D-Landers
In a sense, humans were 2D-worlders until flight came along.
But now we are as we truly are: 3D-worlders.

8. Worlds are boundlessly infinite
The universe that contains us, however, is a lot like the container of a
circle containing its 1D-worlders.
Although the circle is actually 2D, its inhabitants are those who live on
the surface, and are 1D-worlders
Humans are 3D-worlders that live on the surface of a 4D-container
called the universe.

9. Something Cooler
Objects in space can travel infinitely. But the universe as a container is
finite. Like the 1D-worlders living in the 2D circle, they travel infinitely
and wrap in a loop.
Let’s visit something truly cool, next.

10. Dimensional Gateways
Imagine we want to get from point A to B:
A
B
The distance from A to B is the length of that arc between them. But
what if we could do this instead:
A
B

11. Dimensional Gateways
By definition, this direct alternative is shorter. But is it possible for 1Dworlders to take this alternative?
A
B
For the above to be possible, the 1D-worlders must be able to turn and
face, in a direction which they cannot face – along a second dimension.
But once they have made that turn, they exist along the line segment
between A and B, which itself, is a 1D-Land.
And they travel to point B, until they must make another “2D-turn”, to
get re-oriented back on their original 1D-Land, the circle.

12. Dimensional Gateways
How does this apply to the real, 3D-world? It means we can shorten
travel through space, if we could travel along some extra-dimensional
path, shortening the gap between points.

13. Bending the universe
Let’s go back to the 1D-worlders on the circle. The circle is a
container. The shape of this container is irrelevant to the 1D-worlders.
Suppose it can be changed?
A
B
If we want to travel between points A and B, then we should change
the shape of the circle so that it’s more like this; hence minimizing the
distance traveled nearly to zero:
A
B

14. Is it possible?
But the biggest questions remain, and may yet prove only to be a work
of science-fiction.
- Can we turn and face into the extra-dimensional alternative path?
- Can we bend and shape our worldly container as desired?
If yes, then what has been made possible through this “dimensional
gateway”, is effectively a means to get anywhere in the universe in
mere instants.
And in the sense, this achieves time travel, in the sense of out-pacing
the speed of light.
