[Ron] The balloon analogie was to express that the galaxies are expanding with space not So much as In space...I think the NASA site uses a raisen bread metaphor..which Perhaps is alittle better.
[Case] Yeah the raisen bread example is a little better except wouldn't you thing the raisens would be getting bigger too? [Ron] You had posted a site awhile back that explained the theory of the 10 dimensions and how Other theories were derived by 2-d vs. 3-d v.s 4-d and what you stated occurred to me also, How can a 2-d aware object "be aware" of anything that applied to a 3-d world? 2-d strictly, is Conceptual. Those 2-d concepts are then applied to a 3-d world, which really have no real Relavence. They make for neat ideas but rationally I have trouble with it. [Case] I know I am beating this dimension thing to death but I don't really get it either. As I mentioned we can not really even imagine the lower dimensions without reference to the higher ones. But we can approximate the higher ones with the lower ones as well. So where are we? Mandelbrot's fractional dimensions help since it allows us to see that things exist in as multiple dimensions. I was getting at that a while back talking about traffic. In my car the world is all 3D and spacey. Viewed from space my car is a point on a line. Now when you start thinking about the future or remembering the past you are performing a 5th dimensional activity because you are moving back and forth in time. Even when you think of an apple you are modeling a 3D object which requires you to spin it in time. I suspect it all starts with vision in which you construct 3D understanding out of 2D input. The kinesthetic sense is the only one of our five senses that actually occurs in 3D. Even sound is a poser since the sound waves are received sequence. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
