Ghosts, Shadows, UFOs, and the Others – Our Universe in a Hyperspherical Reality

Imagine our world not as an isolated three-dimensional domain, but as an interacting surface of a majestic four-dimensional hypersphere. In this framework, our universe is one of several possible surfaces, each defined by selecting three out of four spatial dimensions. Mathematically, there are exactly four distinct ways to choose these dimensions, suggesting that up to four interacting 3D surfaces could coexist within the same hyperspherical expanse. These surfaces, though largely distinct, might overlap or communicate at their boundaries, creating phenomena that ripple across what we consider reality.

On a technical level, our familiar measurements of cosmic distances depend on whether we approximate the path of light as the straight-line “chord” of a locally flat geometry or as the true “arc” that follows the curvature of our interacting surface. For nearby objects, the chord suffices; but for distant cosmic signals—like the cosmic microwave background—the stretching of the arc by the hyperspherical curvature becomes unmistakable. This subtle difference, observed as an 11% discrepancy, plays a key role in our understanding of the Hubble tension. Yet, beyond these measurable effects, the concept of overlapping, interacting surfaces opens a door to a myriad of unexplained phenomena.

Intertwining the Paranormal with the Cosmic:
Consider this: if our universe is simply one interacting surface among several, then the boundaries between these surfaces might be porous rather than impervious. In some regions, matter, energy, or even information might leak from one surface to another—manifesting as anomalous, ephemeral events in our physical world. Here’s where the mysterious and unconventional come in:


  • UFOs and UAP:
    Unidentified Flying Objects, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, have long puzzled observers with their sudden appearances, unconventional flight trajectories, and inexplicable manoeuvres. Within our hyperspherical framework, these could be interpreted as an adjacent 3D universe which has one or two common surfaces linking it to our universe. Their unusual kinematics might not be a result of advanced propulsion within our universe but rather an achievement of intelligence that has learned to use 2 common dimensions and differentiate time in the other 3rd dimension.
  • Ghosts and Paranormal Encounters:
    Reports of ghostly apparitions and other paranormal experiences have often defied clear scientific explanation. If the interacting surfaces of our hypersphere sometimes overlap or touch, they might allow fleeting crossovers of energy or matter. This could create impressions—like the whisper of an unseen presence or a shadow moving in the corner of one’s eye—that resonate with our experiences of the paranormal. Rather than being mere hallucinations or tricks of light, these occurrences might be the soft echoes and tracings of neighbouring surfaces, momentarily influencing our own.
  • Shadows of the Greater Whole:
    The gravitational anomalies we attribute to dark matter, the enigmatic tug on galaxy rotations and cosmic lensing, might be reinterpreted as the cumulative influence of mass distributed across these interacting surfaces. Similarly, the “ghosts” and “UFOs” we sometimes report could be peripheral signatures of a vast, interwoven cosmic tapestry, where the boundaries of our universe are not hard, but are diffuse, dynamic, and occasionally porous


A Unified Vision:
This picture unites rigorous mathematics with the wild frontier of human experience. On one hand, we have a well-defined hyperspherical geometry that explains measurable discrepancies in cosmic distances and expansion. On the other, we are invited to consider that the unexplained—UFO encounters, ghost sightings, and other paranormal phenomena—may be the natural byproducts of a universe far more layered and interconnected than previously imagined.


Considering the allure of the unexplained, is that enough, or do we want more?
