My car and everything else on this side of the hypersphere wants to go in a straight line- to destruction. In the other hemisphere, everything automatically goes where conditions are "safe".

Engineers tell us that for a building to stand, the sum of the force "moments" within it must be zero. The sum of the moments in a 7-D universe is almost, but not quite zero. This means our world- even in 7-D is in a delicate state of balance and subject to the effects of increasing entropy. On the average, the complexity of life off sets this tendancy and drives the universe slowly but inexorably toward increasing order; the universe creates itself. Yet even life fails. Disorder abounds in our world. The key is "on the average". In the universe as a whole, life "loads the dice".

The fact that periodicity is so common within the universe, is a clue to the fact that the universe in reality is cosmologically, if not completely stable...as stable at least as a CD-ROM...yet even a CD can be erased or its contents changed. The concept of a stable, periodic and eternal universe is not an original idea of Einstein's. Plato and Aristotle championed the idea- based on their observations of the universe, millenia ago.
