| i want to talk about the first four dimensions: level, depth, width and time. the first three dimensions are about space, about distance and how far apart we are. the fourth dimension is about time, maybe not exactly as we know it, but very similar to it, about how long we have to wait and how long we have to interact. the first dimention, width, is what allows us to go back and forth. remember, we aren't talking about time, but take a step forward, then a step backwards, and you are nagivating the first dimention: width. walk in a straight line, and you're walking a whole dimension. the second dimention is levels. if you're going up a flight of stairs, you're moving in the first and second dimensions. climbing a perfectly vertical ladder, you are navigating only the second dimension. the third dimension is a little more complicated. if you were going up the stairs in a diagnoal line, you'd be navigating all three dimensions. if you were to go up a flight of stairs sideways, that's just the second dimension and the third dimention. if you're walking a diagonal line, that's the first and third dimensions. if you're sidestepping, that's only the third. then the fourth dimention. you can't really move through it. you can't go up a flight of stairs and change time. there's no where you can go to make time that's been lost. once time is gone, it's gone. and if time is on its way to you you can't just step away and have it pass right over you. time is... weird. you can't go to it, you have to wait for it to come. isn't that what we're all doing? waiting for another time? a time maybe when things are different or better or just a time when you're not alone. a lot of people like company, and not just the miserable people. but time can't be navigated independently. can it? i don't know. i just wonder, who knows where we'll be in the first three dimnsions in time? |

bacardi | 01-05-05 11:56am After taking all my gay college physics courses, I really wish you would have been my teacher. Plus you boggled my mind with the discussion about time. WoW, I need to sit down and just think now. =) |
moana | Re:, 01-05-05 3:36pm I LOVE physics (not as much as I love math, though). But I tend to tone it down when I consider I sort of want other people to get it. But yay it made you think that made my night! You should always think about what the universe is made of. |
bacardi | Re: Re:, 01-05-05 3:45pm Sometimes though if you think to much you can really freak yourself out about everything. I have done that many times. |
moana | Re: Re: Re:, 01-05-05 3:48pm No, I've never done that. I don't think it's possible to think too much, not when it comes to this stuff. But it will reak you out if you think too much about people. People suck like that. |
bacardi | Re:, 01-05-05 3:52pm Oh I meant about either the creation of the universe, or how crazy it is to think about other universes out there when you look up at the sky... Or anything like that... Its fun but freaky, at least for me. |
moana | Re: Re:, 01-05-05 3:57pm I love it, I feel like it puts everything into perspective you know? Like, "So what I got dumped, there's an implosion up there that would level humankind!" |
ac | 01-05-05 12:49pm intey, stop thinking. It's making MY mind hurt. |
moana | Re:, 01-05-05 3:25pm if i don't think, what else am i going to do? |

cowboy67 | 01-06-05 9:00pm nice bit about the fourth dimension. want to write up a bit on the theory of relativity as it pertains to it? that would be fantastic to read. |
moana | Re:, 01-07-05 2:49am i would love to write up on relativity! yay! i have a request for a science post! i love you laurence! *dances*
