In regard to our minds being linked... *gets goosebumbs* yes, you could be right. Like plato says, all our minds are capable of traversing "trancendance" which is where the "forms" reside. This trancendance is basically all possibility. When you think of anything, you are thinking of something possible, therefore you are traversing the trancendant world. It is our minds that guide us to realize possibility in the physical world. Every thought already exists within trancendance (all possibility), and therefore, whenever a person invents something (whether it be a thought or a cotton gin), it is actually just that person becomming aware of something within trancendance. In fact, the latin word "Invent" directly translates to "to discover," so whenever you hear of a new invention, rationally it's just another discovery of what resides in trancendance (all possibility). experimentation with thoughts is the act of dealing with things possible and realizable in the physical world. I believe we are connected to each other in the respect that we all have the ability to experiance this ever present, but hard to understand "world of the mind." This trancendant world is known by physicists today as hyperspace (hypothesis). When we think of dimentions, we can figure that two dimentions is really the integral of all parallel one-dimentional lines within a specified viewing window, and three is the integral of all parallel planes within a specified window. Our universe observably has four dimentions; length, width, height, and time, so something we can think of that is possible is one or more arrangements of these dimentions to our own satisfaction. If we take the integral of all the known dimentions that describe the physical world, then that would be the fifth dimention, which describes all possible arrangements of the four known dimentions. This is why I refer to trancendance as being the same thing as hyperspace or the 5th dimention. Reimann's metric tensor was the first attempt to describe the fifth dimention, and years later evolved into string theory... I've come upon an inconsistancy, string theory states there are ten dimentions, not just four, and the other six (which we can't see and haven't experimentally verified, but seems impossible to do so in the first place) are said to be "another universe in itself" but so incredibly small, it's impossible to find. This gets confusing, what I'm calling "the fifth dimension," is the entire string theory itself, even though it says it's based on 10 or 26 dimensions.
