  1. I think Hawking is talking about the possibility of higher dimensional space-times, so something like 9+1 dimensional space-time. Everyone in physics and engineering is okay with working with spaces that are of dimension greater than 3, they come up quite naturally in classical mechanics, thermodynamics and so on. But this is not the same as the 3+1 dimensional space-time as given in relativity.

     

    And here is a random picture of someone explaining Fourier series...????

  2. WE NEED STRONGER EVIDENCES FOR >3D spaces (actual proof) LIKE STEPHEN HAWKING IMPLIED IN HIS PAPER.

    I think you mean 4D plus dimensional space-times rather than the use of higher dimensional spaces in physics and engineering in general.

     

     

     

    could you show me please any of the picture which are red coloured ??

    I am not sure what you are looking for. You want some sketches involved in some calculations that use Fourier series? Just google that yourself.

  3. let show me any element of such sequences or functional sequences ...or any usage in engineering.

    Fourier series is used all over the place when a periodic signals/phenomena are present. For example

     

    i) Signal and image processing

    ii) Finding solutions to the heat equation and similar

    iii) In the theory of small perturbations

    iv) Acoustics

    v) Optics

     

    etc etc etc

     

    Other related things like z-transforms and so on are also used throughout engineering.

  4. 1) this may not be truth at medicine I think.

    You only cite things that are related no matter what the subject.

     

    2) I don't mean the IF may define the prominence. but it seems that it might define popularity.

    It is hard to say, but for sure you cannot compare across subjects. There are different habits and traditions across different subjects. The impact factor only takes into account citations of papers that are published in the previous two years - in more theoretical and mathematical subjects it can take longer than two years for a paper to pick up citations. Thus, mathematical journals tend to have low IF as compared to say medical journals.

     

    Anyway, this seems to be getting off topic.

  5. the question was this one, could you write some clear and succint instructions which may persuade us that >3D is actively used.

    Just simple classical mechanics of particles or bodies we need position and then we need some information about how the system evolves. In particular, as we usually have first order differential equations we need to also consider the velocity ; also we are often interested in phase dynamics and so we need momentum.

  6. for instance , if we explore / invent a treatment of one well known catastrpphic disease or a piece of it , that great journal and regularly almost all people will care it.

    Well, lots of scientists will not cite such a paper unless they are working on something similar.

     

    note: I have no clear idea about this point. this might be true ,too. could you show me any journal which publish mathematical paper and its IF > 20 ?

    You have made the great mistake of trying to compare impact factor across different disciplines. You clearly cannot do this, and so your request is just meaningless.

  7. actually ,I think all these will provide the logical reason for why such qualified journals are not publishing heavily theoritic materials/papers. and they seem right on this issue. otherwise of course this will not be correct to refuse the necessity or worth of theoritic studies. these are different.

    What are you talking about?

     

    Many good journals publish works in the areas I have stated here.

  8. unortunately I don't believe me to achieve such bright things at mechanics. :(

    Okay, but the basic ideas are not so hard and this is what you are asking about. Anyway, we regularly deal with spaces of dimension greater than three in classical mechanics, statistical physics, thermodynamics and so on. All areas of physics that have found direct applications in engineering and so on.

  9. Can you identify a matched signal here:

    Probably not - this sort of thing is not my area of expertise. But then this is irrelevant as I have not claimed anything here other than I know that people have put a lot of effort into being sure that have measured something real.

     

     

    Gravity waves has a unique signature...

    This really needs stressing again - the wave form measured fits the models very well including the 'ring down' towards the end of the merger.
