| Re: Flaw to "3Dness" thinking.
I realize now that this is hardly general chit chat, so is it possible to move this to metaphysics, assuming thats what it is.

| Re: Flaw to "3Dness" thinking.
i dont believe in 1d, or 2d for sure... everything is 3d right? or is it 4d? but alot of what you said is beyond me.... i do think the concept is necessary though... geometry and stuff... but there is no true dot or line or square... cause even something drawn on paper, even with the trick of perspective... it is raised... even if the paper absorbs your medium, the paper has a thickness... no matter how incredibly tiny... have you ever heard of the book "flatland" by edwin abbot... its awesome... i think they even made a movie... i think i seen an animated clip on youtube.. i dont believe in circles anymore.. not even true spheres... take a stop sign, add a line... add another... and another.... x10 million... you get the appearance of a circle... you know the epcot center at disney? its a sphere right? WRONG! its a bunch of triangles :P lol i prolly didnt explain my thoughts well at all.... its easier when i can draw it out for people

Well I guess forces like gravity are fundamentally circular or spherical in that they enact a singularity. There will just be some slight variables and problems making distinct circles impossible, so it would seem. Maybe you can get a sphere big enough so that it will eventually be a true sphere. Perhaps stars would be an example if they got big enough (now I'm disregarding the obvious solar flares and such, of course) Although I wonder what it means to have a singularity in a black hole. Doesn't make much sense. A singularity seems rather "asymtotical".(for lack of a better word, I can't think right now). |

my whole point is the bigger the thing gets, the less we can distinguish its true shape/shapes that make it up... it appears a true sphere... just like if you zoom in on the computer screen and see each individual pixel... its squares... but zoom out and we see the whole picture... ok im soooo sayin this all out of order and wrong lol thats why i said its easier to draw in person... maybe i could upload one of my drawings tomorrow... to illustrate my theory/concept its 3:20am here and im entirely sleep deprived :P

X, Y, and Z (up/down, left/right, forward/backward), and the 4th dimension, which is time. When things get really interesting is when you consider the possibility of 11 dimensions as proposed by string theory. For a good time, google "M-theory," "String Theory," or pick up a copy (book or DVD) of "The Elegant Universe." |
