Scientists have never been able to explain the origin of consciousness. Where does it come from? What is its origin point in the human body? Now an expert has suggested that consciousness might not be a part of our three-dimensional world and likely comes from a hidden dimension.&nbsp;

Michael Pravica, PhD, a professor of physics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, believes that consciousness is beyond the physical world and can transcend it in moments of heightened awareness. There is likely no brain activity at play.

This thought is linked to hyperdimensionality, a theory that states that our universe is not made up of just the three dimensions. Pravica says that the universe consists of several more dimensions that humans cannot perceive and there is a much larger nexus with hidden dimensions.

He says to understand consciousness, humans need to explore hidden dimensions.&nbsp;

"The sheer fact we can conceive of higher dimensions than four within our mind, within our mathematics, is a gift... It's something that transcends biology," the scientist told Popular Mechanics.

If this theory turns out to be true, then we might be looking at creatures who live outside the physical realm where space and time are not a thing, Pravica says.

While humans might not know much about hyperdimensionality, Pravica believes they are much more familiar with it than they think. Linking it to religious beliefs, the Orthodox Christian claims Jesus could be a hyperdimensional being.

"According to the Bible, Jesus ascended into heaven 40 days after being on Earth. How do you ascend into heaven if you’re a four-dimensional creature?" Pravica asks.

This he says could be possible if a person belongs to the hyperdimensional world. You can "travel from our familiar world into heaven", he says.&nbsp;

The idea that consciousness comes from a higher dimension is linked to other advanced theories in physics, like string theory.&nbsp;

“String theory is essentially a theory of hyperdimensionality,” says Pravica. “It’s looking at how the universe is put together on a sub-quantum scale.”

However, not everybody agrees with Pravica. Some scientists say it borders on "science fiction".

Stephen Holler, PhD, an associate professor of physics at Fordham University in New York, told Popular Science, "Pravica’s view implies a 'God of the gaps' theological perspective, 'where gaps in scientific knowledge are attributed to divine intervention, rather than being seen as opportunities for further inquiry and understanding'."
