In Response To: Re: Of chance, and God (lank)

: easy!

BS!

: why not just imagine a single 1 dimension passing through
: all the infinitesimally small "units" of 3d
: space?

: then to 5 dimensions, just make the line a plane, etc.

You're still visualizing by *analogy*. Heck, even my feeble mind can do *that*, albeit with a little help from a book called Flatland. ;) I'm not talking about visualizing by analogy, I'm actually talking about seeing four dimensions in one's mind.

I once read a book in which it was said a man went crazy because he succeeded.
