The folks in the 2D world had means to detect whether they were on a curved surface, by geometric measurements. So do we, with respect to 4D curvature. No results. Unless something is susceptible to detection, and thus to measurement, and thus to possibly technology, it is really indistinguishable from nothing.
Curves in a 2D world can only be on one flat plane since there is no such thing as up and down does not exist. A round ball could pass through the 2D world but the 2D inhabitants would only perceive the ball one slice at a time (as a flat plane) as it passed through their world.
Similarly, something akin to this happens as 5D passes through our 3D world... in that, some aspect of the 5D existence could be detected but no enough to explain exactly what it is.
This is child fairy-tale thinking. The examples are from 90-year-old science fiction. I was referring to the 2-D people living on the surface of a 3-D curve, which is kind of what the Einsteinians imagine is happening with our 3-D world and 4-D "spacetime." Otherwise, higher dimensions are only a mathematical abstraction, not a metaphysical reality. And why do you pick 5 dimensions, and not 4 or 6...or 732? This is fiction and magic.
So what happens to your soul when you body quits? Where does it go? Could it possibly ascend into a high vibrational world... unseen and undetected by you now?
Is earth all there is to it? What exactly is the "God particle?" anyway? Have you ever had an out of body experience? Ever met an alien? If there is another side of life do you think maybe they have ever communicated with us here?
I hate to say it Sir, but I am not the one that sounds crazy here. I am the one asking the right questions. Unlike you, I never proclaimed to know the answers. The one thing I have learned about science is there is no such thing as science fiction. Most of the so-called science fiction I saw as a child has already come to pass.
Be reminded this conversation started from a post where a man with extensive credentials, exposure and experience gave us a glimpse into what he knows. I agreed with him. Do you think he is also crazy and in la la land too?
I am a Christian, so I accept the Biblical declarations on the subject. Just because I am harsh on undisciplined nonsense does not mean I have a closed mind. Plenty of things in science fiction that have not and will never come to pass. I suspect I have been reading it longer than you have been alive, so I am not impressed with your admonition.
As for generals making predictions, the best one I can recall was Danny Graham who was behind the High Frontier organization and the Strategic Defense Initiative, which I worked in. This clip is apparently 4 years old. There are also generals who are long on flourish and short on "show me." I have 40 years experience to put against his, in the relevant weapons technologies.
You certainly are entitled to your opinion. I know many people that feel identical to you... you certainly aren't alone.
Yet, there are a growing number of scientists in the world that disagree with your assertions. Fiction and magic. Reminds me of a quote, "Once you label me, I can never be anything more to you."
I know a LOT of people that feel identical---they are engineers and scientists. We are responsible for making things that work.
Which assertions? That there is no evidence of dimensions higher than what we experience? Since there is no evidence, what would they be doing by thinking so? All you have is airy-fairy dreams about fantasy possibilities. You don't have any evidence. At least I understand the origin of the Casimir force. Do you even know what it is? And how it relates to the quantum vacuum? I've mentioned other challenges to conventional thinking, but you are not interested in them, so you are in a poor position to think you have a better understanding.

Seriously man, chill out.
