Avi Loeb, known for his efforts to prove we are not alone, has claimed that extraterrestrial visitors are travelling through hidden dimensions created by researchers at the CERN particle accelerator are seeking.
The physicist also noted that extraterrestrials are using theoretical quantum gravity engineering to travel through 'curled' dimensions that humans can only detect in particle accelerators such as CERN.
Loeb said that travelling through extra-spatial dimensions would mean the chance of collisions would be 'much smaller.' Scientists at CERN have attempted to detect six 'extra spatial' dimensions, and look for particular particles as evidence that such dimensions exist.
'Particularly with the advances happening at CERN in regards to proving the existence of other dimensions then it makes logical sense for a far more sophisticated civilization to have developed the technology to utilise these.'
I had to look that up .... a 'curled dimension' is a dimension that is perpendicular to all space dimensions and time, but can be described mathematically by a Pythagorean equation with more than four variables.
My major was psychology and not math or physics so I admit that I have no idea what that means and how a curled dimension is different from other dimensions.

I think it means the shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line in normal space-time, or something similar.
Shiva holds one of the most prominent roles in Hinduism as the god of destruction. He is one of the three most important gods, alongside Brahma (the creator) and Vishnu (the preserver). The sect of Shaivism holds that Shiva is the Supreme Being which all other gods are aspects of.
The 6 extra curled dimensions CERN is searching for are tiny, so small we can't see them, according to CERN. So they might be a way of traveling from one side of a proton to the other side of a proton, except we might see them if they were that big, and we don't see them, so if they exist, they are probably even smaller than that. So I'm not really following how these extra dimensions so small we can't see them could be conduits for interstellar travel, and it's not because of my lack of science knowledge. This CERN article talks about the 6 extra curled dimensions being so small we can't even see them:

This Harvard Prof doesn't give any evidence for his theory that UFOs travel to Earth using extra dimensions and that CERN is trying to unlock those dimensions. He pretty much says it's common sense that aliens in UFOs would be further along technologically and that they'd use dimensional travel. He mentions them traveling by using 'curled dimensions'. I had to look that up .... a 'curled dimension' is a dimension that is perpendicular to all space dimensions and time, but can be described mathematically by a Pythagorean equation with more than four variables.

"Avi Loeb, known for his efforts to prove we are not alone, has claimed that extraterrestrial visitors are travelling through hidden dimensions created by researchers at the CERN particle accelerator are seeking."
Underlying string theory is the radical idea that fundamental particles are not really like points or dots, but rather small loops of vibrating strings. All the different particles and forces are just different oscillation modes of a unique type of string. Bizarrely, the theory also implies that besides the familiar three–dimensional world and the fourth dimension of time, there are six additional spatial dimensions! These extra dimensions are apparently 'curled up' so small that we do not see them.
Crackpots 2: Aliens, harvard, harvard aliens? 'Oumuamua? Planet 9? Dinosaurs?
Can physicists be physics crackpots? Of course. Is Avi Loeb a crackpot? Maybe.
The Avi Loeb criticism starts around 24:00.
Jill Tartar: "So Avi, I get a little bit pissed off when you throw the entire scientific culture under the bus, because some of us have been thinking about and building instruments to find anomalies for a very long time, and I think that when we say, if we are ever going to announce such a detection, that we require extraordinary evidence.
We're doing that as a way of differentiating ourselves from the pseudoscience that is so much a part of popular culture."
Harvard doesn't have a unified view of these topics like aliens, they employ various professors and researchers with various viewpoints. For example, John Mack was a Harvard professor who thought alien abductions were real, while Susan Clancy was a Harvard Researcher of alien abductions who thought people felt the experiences were real, but there was no real evidence aliens were involved. So you can't say Harvard had a particular viewpoint on that topic when two of their people have such diametrically opposed viewpoints. The big problem for Mack wasn't believeing in aliens, it was his reliance on hypnotic regressions as a tool, since it's almost universally condemned as not being a reliable scientific source, so he did get hassled about that.

Harvard…the CNN of academia. I wish their opinion meant something. Wait until the National Enquirer confirms it at least.
Did you make that video? Or are you trying to understand what it says? Pi is just the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. Circular shapes are also present in other geometries like cylinders and spheres. That video appears to say if we assume the universe has a spherical geometry, Pi will come up in that geometry (or the square root or whatever). But that's not very deep, it's just a simple tautology that says if you assume the shape of the universe is a sphere, the math you apply to the spherical shape will be the math that applies to spheres. I didn't hear the video say anything about this implying additional dimensions or especially an irrational number of dimensions.

Dimensionality is based on the inverse or the square root of pi. If the number of dimensions is an irrational number, there can be many and this has huge implications for manipulation of space-time.
We've never discovered any life other than that on earth so I'm not sure we know that, but we have reasons to think it seems likely naturally occurring life is carbon based.
Now here is where it also gets interesting:
Look at a periodic table and notice the element under Carbon. We all know that in this Universe , all life is Carbon based.
Have you got a link to this use of the word holograph?
The Carbon atom forms a holograph when it spins but loses an electron.
You lost me there, are you still talking about this universe, or another universe?
We know it does because we can date organic matter this way. Where does that electron go? Your periodic table will give you the answer and the possibility of a Silicon-based Universe.
Well, I see no reason why humans can't make intelligent machines based on silicon, in this universe. But for naturally occuring life, there are reasons to think carbon is just much more likely as the basis for life than silicon, because silicon has chemical problems with forming life molecules that carbon doesn't have, as explained inthis video:
Is a Silicon based universe conscious? I would hypothesize it is, and it is the the ultra computer of a Godverse we all search for and have the ability to access.
This might not be the nuts and bolts or engineered solution to inter-dimensional movement of ETs but it is related to how a super advanced civilization accesses and interprets information.
Despite more than one hundred years of work on organosilicon chemistry, the basis for the plausibility of silicon-based life has never been systematically addressed nor objectively reviewed. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the possibility of silicon-based biochemistry, based on a review of what is known and what has been modeled, even including speculative work. We assess whether or not silicon chemistry meets the requirements for chemical diversity and reactivity as compared to carbon. To expand the possibility of plausible silicon biochemistry, we explore silicon's chemical complexity in diverse solvents found in planetary environments, including water, cryosolvents, and sulfuric acid. In no environment is a life based primarily around silicon chemistry a plausible option.

String theory was a beautiful idea, the best contender for a theory of everything that we have seen so far. Thousands of physicists spend decades trying to work it out. But it didn’t quite go according to plan. String theory became extremely controversial during what's been dubbed the “String Wars” about 20 years ago. Then it kind of disappeared. What happened? What were the string wars? And what are string theorists doing now? That’s what we’ll talk about today.

Then there was the problem that string theory required a total of 10 dimensions of space to properly work. Unfortunately, it seems that the space we find ourselves in has merely 3 dimensions. String theorists explained away the extra dimensions of space by saying they are rolled up to sizes so small that we can’t see them. Again this works because measuring something small requires a lot of energy, and we might not have noticed these small dimensions because we haven’t been able to achieve particle collisions with sufficiently high energy.
In physics and general relativity, gravitational redshift (known as Einstein shift in older literature) is the phenomenon that electromagnetic waves or photons traveling out of a gravitational well (seem to) lose energy.
