I enjoyed the flash, but at the same time being the nerd I am, I wouldn't mind seeing some mathematical backing to these ideals. I delved a little into multiple dimensions thanks to my vector/multivariable calculus class, and the whole 2D people in the flash reminded me of
countour lines.
But my prof lost me when he described 4D as "think about 3D contour lines." Seriously... how? Of course, time is the base of how most people judge the fourth dimension but to visually comprehend it is only through 3D contour plots.
Although it has hard to visually see dimensions larger than 3, I have seen some strange, very strange, plots of up to 27 dimensions, using colors, textures, volumes, shapes, etc. In a sense, each dimension can be visualized by a different variable, such as a through z.
The flash didn't really give anything mathy for my liking, but it's still very intriguing to think of the tenth dimension as the "everything" dimension.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
