Undergrad Need quick answer on spatial dimensions
So you're saying its a function N where x approaches 0 as N tends towards infinity. However in mathematics you never reach infinity and x never reaches 0.- CylonHybrid

Also you are mistaken. In indeterminacy it says that infinity x 0 is undetermined but 0 to the power of infinity is mistakenly thought of as undetermined but is actually 0.- CylonHybrid

Thats dancing around the maypole. The coordinate system defines a dimension but doesn't describe a dimension or its relationship to other dimensions. What is the nature of direction, of dimension? There can't be a coordinate without a space for a coordinate to exist.- CylonHybrid

Anyway back to the point. Consider a line segment. A line is one dimensional but it is made of an infinite number of 0 dimensional points. But a point has 0 dimensions. So how do an infinite number of points make up a line segment?- CylonHybrid

I'm not a physicist but I don't see why matter and energy would only be constrained to three dimensions. I'd imagine all matter and energy exist in 10 spatial dimensions but we just can't see the other 6.- CylonHybrid

I string theory it talks about point particles, the building blocks of three dimensional atoms being 1 dimensional strings. Yet somehow 1 dimensional constructs give rise to higher dimensions. No one yet has given what is the relationship between spatial dimensions.- CylonHybrid

Aren't sifferent sized infinites and sets just a mathematical concept only to make it easier for us to coceptualise but in reality all infinities are the same size?Anyway the question I'm asking is what is the relationship between dimensions? Which is something I would have thought essential to...- CylonHybrid

Yes I understand that but is this something purely mathematical and how/ does it apply to the real world? At which point is there a change over from dimensions being a mathematical concept to being real things in the physical world? The indeterminate distance would have to be solved another...- CylonHybrid

Undergrad Need quick answer on spatial dimensions
So you're saying then it is possible for an infinite number of planes with 0 width to somehow get width because an infinite number of planes of 0 euclidean distance along a direction X has an indeterminate euclidean distance along direction X? How is this accomplished? I know this maybe has...- CylonHybrid

Undergrad Need quick answer on spatial dimensions
I have just a quick question I was wondering about and I was wondering could someone answer it here. Is it true that for example the third dimension is composed of an infinite number of 2 dimensional planes on top of each other which give rise to width, the third dimension? If this is true...- CylonHybrid

Graduate Question on higher spatial dimensions
Define uncountable number of planes? Isn't that infinity? I still don't get it.- CylonHybrid
