parallel dimension

Aren't dimensions by definition orthogonal?

[-] cmhe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

That is true for space dimensions, but there is also a time dimension, and would another dimension, that is 'orthogonal' to a time dimension not be some kind of dimension that offers alternative time lines?

[-] deft@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 week ago

There is not a single thing we know about dimensions. I don't believe it

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Mathematically we know a lot about dimensions. Usually it's just adding an extra variable.

[-] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I know a thing or two about the first three, thank you.

[-] deft@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah?! What's their middle name then?
