I'm in bitches
TuringScan: InitClock00:00:00:00:00.01 InitInitInstructInit<>1. SetNum(Numb[?])TransL8:1337 ReInitVar42:CuzYTsezWNot[!]:{Meta}Re:Fish,"KThxLolz" ... ... (...) You like watching him... don't you? IT,Instruction(Mark,value:="0"); References, set? "Running Out?":=Not likely Absurdity Inference Initiated... Commence... Bitches. (Take that any way you please; amusingly, all of them (possible ways) are intentionally offensive). The older you get, the more capable you are of noticing how ridiculously silly seeming the fast conversational cut directing in overwrought action films can be. Or maybe that's just the dopamine re-uptake inhibitors talking. Nope, it's just the time lapse decaying-for-the-insides thing. Democrats are species motivated. Genes are selfish after all. Four dimensional space is actually relatively easy to conceptualize. No, I'm not referring to time as a fourth dimension. That's cool sounding and all, and in a physics context actually correct, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about physical space. Not conceptual physical space, but the actual space you and I within reside. Conceptualizing a fourth dimension existing in our space is easy... all you need is an analogy: A rubber brick. If you get it, discontinue consumption; else, follow: Have you ever had a dream which you were so sure was real What if you were unable to wake from that dream How would you know the difference between the real world and the dream world One dimension: a line. Resident along that line: a point. What does that point see as a two dimensional square wanders through its domain? It seems a line segment. A triangle living in two dimensional space gazes down the length of the plane which is its alpha and omega. A sphere drifting through the aether traverses the plane. What does the triangle observe? A sphere? No, that would require three dimensional concepts. The triangle observes a circle. A circle is a two dimensional perception of a sphere. Now on to the fourth dimension: how does a three dimensional object such as, for instance, yourself, living in a three dimensional space, perceive a four dimensional object's trajectory through space? Imagine the general area you currently occupy. Imagine a roughly (huge) brick shaped space around that. That's the rubber brick. Now bend it. You, living on the inside of the brick, perceive no change. But an object external to it would realize that your whole space was bent. That direction of your bending would be the fourth dimension. A four dimensinoal object passing through that space would appear to curve. It would look, in point of fact, like something responding to gravity. And there's your bingo moment, if you actually made it this far (yes, this is all, sadly, accurate). An object passing in a straight line through the galaxy goes near the Earth. Its passage turns in a little, responding to the gravitational tug of the planet's enormous mass. The first law: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. So why does the object curve in its trajectory without violating the law? Easy. It nerve curved. Its path described a straight line the entire time. Its just that it was passing through a four dimensional space, and you, sad three dimensional object that you are, failed to tail fins. posted by Cosmic Drunk on 03.11.09 at 04:35 AM |

I totally got that once I re-read the italicized part and realized it didn't say "rubber duck."
