You mean 4th lol

I just typed a paragraph and the stupid server froze and I lost the message
No, he means 5th.....

Ace: 5th dimension isn't real
We are in the 3rd dimension
2D person: 4th dimension isn't real
They are in the 2nd dimension

It's not that hard to do the math

Actually, duration or time can't be represented as a dimension, rather as something that holds dimensions together. For something to exist, it has to have its position in multi-dimensional space and time.

Look, just watch these videos...

Where does light speed incorporate into this?

Those last 3 are 3D, not 4D or 5D

You have 3D eyes, and cannot see the 4th dimension. lol

filo5 · 2010-01-29 18:07:34

Or 5th.

filo5 · 2010-01-29 18:10:10

Actually, if we cast a 4D shadow of 5D 5d, we'll get a tesseract. Then, hypothetically, if the 4d shadow of 5d object is actually a 4d object, what if then cast it again to make a 3d shadow. I think that 3d shadow of 4d object may look like a solid object, but, like all shadows, it will be impossible to touch. Or my thinking goes all wrong.

*is very confused* ....My dad says there is no 4th dimension.

How is the terrasact 4 Dimensional? It's a fancy 3D shape, nothing more, possibly something less.

filo5 · 2010-01-29 18:45:43

Ace, your lack of mathematical knowledge overwhelms me. Go watch Cube 2: Hypercube.

bowling_maniac · 2010-01-29 18:49:08

I thought the 4th dimension was fractals that occur all the time in nature

bowling_maniac · 2010-01-29 18:53:43

btw how do you make a thread

filo5 · 2010-01-29 18:56:13

click "post new topic" in a forum you want to make thread in.

Here is what I think about the 4th dimension:

The first dimension is a line. To put it in the 2nd dimension, we square it. Then we get a square. To put it in the 3rd dimension, we cube it. So technically to put something in the fourth dimension, we have to cube a cube. Or perhaps do something else to a cube, like make you be able to see around it or something.

But I'm not a genius so I'm probably wrong.

That sounds hyper boring, so pass.
I probably know more math than you though.

throughthefire · 2010-01-29 19:13:26

If you put it that way, then we're all shadows cast by a higher being

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-01-29 19:16:21

Nope.

Hmmm....i'm not really sure how a three dimensional shadow could exist,as this would mean that light would need to bend around an area in the air to create a 3D shadow.However,physics can often defy common sense,and one may reason that in higher dimensions the laws of physics don't apply.What exactly is the fourth dimension,anyway?Einstein said it's time,but I can't imagine time being a physical object...so maybe the fourth dimension is just a higher level of perception.The way I see it,dimensions are just levels of depth and perception like layers of one-way mirrored glass;that is,higher dimensions can look down at lower dimensions,but lower dimensions themselves cannot be aware of higher dimensions than their own.

No wonder you can't see* it right with all those mirrored glasses in front of you.

I'm just saying it's physically impossible to project a true 4D object into our 3D world and be able to notice it...however,according to wikipedia,since we can represent a model of a 3D image on a 2D computer screen,then it could be possible to represent a 4D model into our 3D world.
