What Major Intellectual Issue Most Keeps You From Accepting The Christian Narrative?
RE: What Major Intellectual Issue Most Keeps You From Accepting The Christian Narrative?
(February 27, 2018 at 9:27 am)Mathilda Wrote: You see Huggy it's only you referring to them as higher dimensions. The concept itself is meaningless. How can a dimension be considered higher if there isn't another dimension on which it exists to be considered higher than other dimensions.

For example, take an X-Z plane, height is typically considered on the Y axis.  Yet nothing material exists that is restricted to just two dimensions. No matter how thin it is, it has a height. And persists over time.

Really Mathilda? I'm the ONLY one?

Quote:It's not easy to imagine dimensions higher than the three that we exist in, but in math, higher dimensions are used all the time. As pointed out in this video from 3Blue1Brown, there are some downsides to the fact that we can't visualize these dimensions. Putting math into geometric form helps us see how different mathematical ideas connect and discover novel ways to solve problems. How can we do that with higher dimensions that we can't imagine?
