How to see in four dimensions
Here's something pretty awesome i caught on slashdot today: http://science.slashdot.org/science/08/ ... 0230.shtml

Re: How to see in four dimensions
Err, if you can see in what is believed to be three dimensions, you are actually seeing in four. Time is the fourth dimension.
There's the X axis (width), Y axis (height), Z axis (depth), time, and one more dimension that I find hard to explain. The 5th, IMO, would be which universe one is in, according to the theory that every choice creates a new universe..
What I believe is complicated, as far as the dimensions go.

Re: How to see in four dimensions
The multiple universe theory does not relate to dimensions. They are completely separate And it's not every choice, it's every possible outcome, creating infinite universes for each action. For instance, if I stab the table with a pencil, I can hit it at point (x, y), or I can hit it at point (x + 1/10000000, y + 1/10000000), for instance. There are infinite number of points, meaning infinite possible outcomes.
Although I agree that time is another dimension, that doesn't mean that there isn't another "visual" dimension. What I mean by this is that you can currently see most things in your room right now. However, with time, you can only see one point along a HUGE line, at any given moment. You don't see the line, but you see what everything in the "main" 3 dimensions are like when they intersect with that point in time.

That's like, I can't beat my neighbor in an argument, so instead I kill his dog.

Stato, it refers to the 4th spacial dimension, not time.

Re: How to see in four dimensions
You believe science that was presented in a fiction book? Really? Based on what?

>_< No, it just explains it better.
