im sure weed helped sagan clarify these ideas in his head and let him so clearly project the ideas to us despite their abstractedness

If you were 2 die, ... ( 6 days ago by 1rendezvous)

If you were 2 die, this will still exist. You're ego is talking when u say that nothing would exist because we wouldn't be there 2 percieve it! Does a tree exist, make sound when it falls in forest? We r just Cosmos-stuff made aware. We r starstuff, recycled, when we become carbonstuff. We reincarnate when we reproduce so we keep on keeping on! If you project postive thoughts, your reality is postive; neg thoughts neg reality! Sun will still be around 5 Bill yrs from now! Stars constantly born!

Hm, interesting. ( 6 days ago by gdub6933)

2nd grade r those insults my man..... third eye = spiritual crap spiritual crap = gods/deities Learn not to believe in crap. If u r so in the spiritual world, leave us science believers/users be, n plz dont ever again use computers, fly planes, visit doctors, etc.

lmao. There's a ... ( 5 days ago by niolater)

lmao. There's a spiritual realm and a physical realm. Just because u don't see the spiritual realm doesn't mean u should deny it. U don't see x-ray vision,or gamma rays. but yet we find technology that can show us this so we believe it. our eyes can only see a broad spectrum of light. O and 1rendezvou. ur statement makes me think a lot. lol

It seems incredible that Carl Sagan died a few years ago. Great scientist and writer with a great talent for conveying astronomy. He is greatly missed.

How can anything be ... ( 4 days ago by jawk321)

How can anything be absolutely flat??? If "it" occupies space, it must have mass and therefore must have thickness. Anyone able to offer an explanation for me?

Aye, it makes no ... ( 3 days ago by shrunkensimon)

Aye, it makes no logical sense, its just a way of trying to convey a concept to other humans. You could say 2-Dimensions is a perspective, and not a reality.

haven't you heard of geometry? the x-y coordinate plane?

man when i read Cosmos (the book), this section on the 4th dimension brought me back to the time I smoked Salvia divinorum and perceived dimensions beyond our three... it was awesome. We have our three dimensions, but there are infinite dimensions we cannot perceive with our limited brains

so the apple been human was some1 from future? coming to our past or something

no you stupid ... ( 1 day ago by bfboobie)

no you stupid little girl, the apple represents a third-dimensional being who is kind enough to share his perspective with this poor little two-dimensional square.... you miss the point if you think this is about a time-traveling human... well i guess you kind of get the point, but...

wow...way to start ... ( 1 day ago by foxygermangirl123)

wow...way to start a responsed. First of all, is kinda hard to understand wot Segan is saying, despite i admired him. Second, i don't understand English that much. third, you urself didn't explain it right, too.

I understand why a 2D being can't see a 3D being unless it's horzontally equal, but the 3D not seeing the 4D thing is a little more confusing.

Its probably because the 4th dimension of stable reality isnt spatial .. but time ...
Thats about the time where linguistics fails to describe reality and math, a universal language, not based on observation is the only way to describe reality

Its all based on ... ( 8 hours ago by mdma4life)

Its all based on the frame of reference. Imagine looking at an wire running from one telephone pole to the other (we know its 3d, but ..) from our frame of reference, we only see two dimensions.
Put an ant on the wire, the ant can run around the wire (in circles), so to the ant, there is an additional dimension (the spiralling around the wire), whereas to us we can't see that, and only interpret two dimensions.

The same principle ... ( 8 hours ago by mdma4life)

The same principle is true for describing the manifold of spacetime in the context of dimensionality past 4 (eg. 11 dimensions of M-Theory)

@ 0:58 he says:
"Now these little cutouts have some little height, but lets ignore that, lets imagine that these are absolutely flat" He's not arguing that his cutouts have no height, he's telling you to disregard that, as the physical properties of the objects he's using to describe dimensionality have absolute
ly nothing to do with describing dimensionality. If you were engineering a ship out of paper cutouts .. then yes, height would matter, but this is a THOUGHT experiment
