Let's say there are these little creatures that only live/move/see in two dimensions. They live all their life like that, never seeing up or down, just left, right, forward, and back. If you were to pick one up, it would have no idea what was happening. If you put it back down it would still not know what happened, just that some crazy stuff went down but now it's over. Well if you were to move through time like that, it'd be the same way. You'd see everything around you moving extremely quickly, and once you had stopped, you wouldn't know what happened, just like the creatures that lived in 2d, because your body isn't designed to sense time like that. You wouldn't know how far away you had moved, or how quickly. --- End quote --- Thats brilliantly simple. You sir, get a pat on the back. |

Both of them are something. --- End quote --- I have often pondered what pure nothingness is. Nothing is nothing, even though in a world of nothing, nothing would mean nothing, but then again nothing is nothing and so there is no meaning. Gah, doesn't make sense :( --- Quote from: Hugums on August 09, 2009, 06:12:57 PM ---Thats brilliantly simple. You sir, get a pat on the back. --- End quote --- Indeed. And wouldn't the first dimension be infinitely small? |
