Caleb Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have been thinking, if you could possibly take a three dimetional object and put it into the second dimetion. Theoretically, that limited three dimentional object would spread out into infinity in the second dimetion. Then, if you take that infinite two dimetional object and put it into the first dimention, yet again it should be infinite. Now if you take that infinite first dimetional object and put it into the next dimention below, the zero'th dimetion, which technically does not exist? Am I very confused or have I just lost my marbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well, when you reduce the dimensionality of an object you are usually taking the "image" of it in some way. For example, a 2D slice of a 3D object. A zero dimensional object is a point, it exists but is very boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
