Hey a friend linked me to this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u4CFTZtcXE"
which attempts to explain how the idea of a tenth dimension is feasible.
I have had some trouble understanding some of the concepts which the movie attempts to explain and it made me think of many questions, nopt only about the video but also about dimensions in general... so i thought my not ask here??
Well first of all why would "flat landers" that is the imaginary people in a two dimensional world... only be able to see in two dimensions?
the video describes the third dimension as a fold, and i understand the analogy of the ant on the newspaper... but then i don't understand what relevance a "fold" has in creating depth (as opposed to simply length and width)
again when talking about the forth dimension the video explains that... "like the falt landers" we can only see in three dimensions... why is this so?
also why is time given its separate dimension... it seems kind of a random allocation... why not something else... like the amount of sound or something? (i don't think my point is made clear here and i apologise but i canty explain any better)
before asking any more i think i might just get your ideas (explanations??) on these questions... i need to have another look at the movie for the next dimensions because the mobius strip thing seems to be making sense lol...
well i appreciate any input from you guys... i realize these are probably stupid and irrelevant questions... but the movie has intrigued me and i enjoy understanding things..
thanks alot,
