You should have left it. I thought it was pretty interesting.

^Still waiting for more from you, by the way. :D

@PPParabola, Fnord inspired me to look at your blog. Your first post is the best description I have ever read. I've seen others here try, but not like you. I wish you were not so young. I think you are the first person here I have been tempted to pm...but I won't. :wink:

Does nothing exist?

And that'll be a struggle, since hyperdimensional water could breach the dam in almost any one of the five other dimensions you haven't noticed yet.


(dm^3)^3 = dm^9

Hm ... are you counting time as a physical dimension here?

Apparently yes. The quote comes from an entry http://www.badscience.net/2008/02/trivi ... /#more-610
Quote:
I know I’m wrong to care. On the BBC news site “crews were hopeful the 20m cubic litres of water could be held back and not breach the dam wall”. And that’ll be a struggle, since “cubic litres” are a nine-dimensional measuring system, so the hyperdimensional water could breach the dam in almost any one of the five other dimensions you haven’t noticed yet.

Sitting target
Sitting waiting
Anticipating
Nothing
Nothing

Life
Is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing
Nothing

What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today

Sitting target
Sitting praying
God is saying
Nothing
Nothing

Always
Knows the prospects
Learnt to expect
Nothing
Nothing

What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today

Nothing, Oh no
Nothing, Oh no
(repeat-fadeout)
