I'll understand if you don't read on.<BR/><BR/> I was quite interested in the recent horizon program on the bbc, especially, as intended, towards the end.<BR/><BR/>I do however have one thought regarding the 4d universe.<BR/><BR/>Im in a computing background and, am no way, an expert or even knowledgable figure in such things.<BR/><BR/>In my understanding this fourth dimension would in someway link the front and back of a 3d object, without touching space joining the left to the right and the top to the bottom. <BR/><BR/>For this to be the case though it would need to either be able to travel, not only in space we cant comprehend, but would have a sharp bend in it!<BR/><BR/>My reasoning for thinking this is in the 3d analagy of a 3d object being 'nested', as it were, inside of a 4d shape, with the exponential growth in faces (even if it is infinate in this case). but to reach this surely the object would have to extend out to the edge of this 4d world and then come directly back down through its self, lest it touch the edges of the 3d space, making two sharp corners.<BR/><BR/>A solution to this, in my mind, would be our 3d world being in a 5d universe, in which the 4d plane has space to weave in and out of the 3d attachments.<BR/><BR/>Like ive said, im not an expert in this, but it is interesting to me and is no way the first time ive though about it, id quite appreciate a response to this in relation to how 4d objects could connect to each other without interupting the 3d connections.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695104534529678352noreply@blogger.com
