Wonderings 23

It is agreed; we all live in a three-dimensional world of height, width, and depth.  Physicists want to add a fourth dimension of time and that's ok because it does not change our three-dimensional world to do that.

We think, analyze, conclude, make choices, take actions all based upon that three-dimensional world.  This type of thinking is called INSIDE THE BOX THINKING...  while a more accurate description might be, INSIDE THE CUBE THINKING.

CUBE THINKING is part of our everyday lives whether we think about the process or not.  Our intuition is predicated upon CUBE THINKING along with our experiences.

With CUBE THINKING we consider no other dimensions...  for instance, what would life be like if we lived in a two-dimensional world or for that matter a one-dimensional world.  An amoeba might live in a two-dimensional world, a worm might live in a one-dimensional world if, the worm could only move forwards or backwards.  

If we look at Atoms, they live in a 3D whereas subatomic particles (a breakdown of electrons, protons, and neutrons) are considered to live in a zero dimension.  However, when one breaks down subatomic particles, one is left with strings and strings operate theoretically in multiple dimensions.

The trick about CUBE THINKING, to return to my previous topic, is to think OUTSIDE THE BOX/CUBE...

This is easier said than done but can be quite rewarding when it is accomplished.

For example...

we typically think of a bicycle seat one area on which our butt sits.  

What about a bicycle seat that is TWO AREAS, one for each cheek?

Kinda makes sense doesn't it???
