Do 3D and 4D Universes Share the Same Geometry?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether a 3D universe shares the same geometry as a 4D universe. One participant dismisses the relevance of the question but acknowledges a previous answer affirming a similarity. The conversation highlights that in different geometries, straight lines do not exist, as all lines become curved. This suggests that the geometric properties of higher dimensions can differ significantly from those in lower dimensions. Ultimately, the relationship between dimensions and geometry remains a complex and intriguing topic.

Would a 3 spatial dimension universe have the same geometry as a 4 spatial dimension universe?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
let go of that idea, it is not relevant
 
Nevermind, I just read the answer you gave me to this question in one PM, it was "yes" lol

Just because its not relevant doesn't mean its not worth asking about
 
There are no straight lines. All lines are curved when you change geometry.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
