No contradiction there.              A contradiction is when you say that something is and isn't true in the same       sense. The "in the same sense" part is crucial; otherwise there is no       contradiction.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_noncontradiction              > If you lived in a 2-D world you would have no possible way of knowing what a       3-d object was like and you may then declare it to be "impossible". But from a       higher dimension and vantage point you can clearly see that it is all a matter       of perspective.              Human mathematicians live in a 3D space and they can exactly describe 4D       objects and all of their geometrical properties.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
