Scientifically it is complete nonsense to say "every       dimension has time in it" as they do.              *Their* ignorance is excusable, though, because they are just a high school       kid and are not expected to know about or understand pseudo-Riemannian       manifolds like spacetime (although they could have certainly have found       books that explained it at their level of understanding). Yours is not (as       I just explained it to you in detail).              --       PointedEars              Twitter: @PointedEars2       Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
