Similar to flatland, we cannot comprehend the existence of a fourth dimension. The movie Flatland takes place in a two-dimensional geometrical world, where a social hierarchy is placed depending on the shape of the characters. In this world, circles are the at the top of the hierarchy while triangles are at the very bottom. Excluding two characters, we see that most of the characters accept and believe that there is not 3-dimensional universe only a 2-D one. The protagonists Arthur Square and his granddaughter Hex challenge social rules and question if there's a 3-dimensional world. The ruins of Area 33H is rumored to have secrets lying in the heart of foundation but is prohibited to everyone excluding circles. Hex is curious about Area 33H
but is dismissed by her grandfather due to fear of her getting in danger. Afterwards, Arthur is transported to a foreign landscape where he sees the first two dimensions and meets Spherius, a character from the 3rd dimension who takes him there. The next morning Arther discovers that Hex went to Area 33H and is in danger. Arthur sacrificed himself to save Hex from being taken by the authorities. While in trail Arthur proclaims to the townsfolk that the third dimension is real and that the circles knew all along. The circles stated it was preposterous and order for his execution before anything else can happen Hex reappears to save her grandfather and helps prove that the 3rd dimension is in fact real. The ending scenes panels out to Area 33H and hints that a fourth dimension is possible as well. This movie helps us understand why some do and do not believe in the fourth dimension. In the beginning of the movie Arthur somewhat believed in the fourth dimension, however, he was still skeptical until he saw it with his own eyes. As humans we are curious creatures who want to understand and gain knowledge of many things, one way is by seeing and examining the evidence. Currently, we can't physically see the fourth dimension so many speculate that this is a myth. Hex's parents discovered about the 3rd dimension and were killed for knowing this information one way to interpret this is that with the history of science many scientists have strived to gain knowledge by are taking risks that at times they weren't aware of
Outside Lineland all was nonexistent according to the Monarch. When A. Square tried to explain to him that the universe was made up of more than just straight lines and points, the Monarch called these suggestions "impossible" and "inconceivable" (P. 46). A. Square shared his ideas with the Monarch because in his words he had "to open up to him some glimpses of the truth" (P. 47). Neither man could begin to accept the possibility that his world and his beliefs could be in any way inferior to those ofthe other. Yet the two men state their case for what seemed to be a long while.
An iron triangle is defined as a three-sided, mutually advantageous relationship between members of Congressional Committees, Bureaucrats, and interest groups. Most of the Congressional Committees and Subcommittees have relationships with the agencies whose programs they authorize and appropriate money for. The committees and the bureaucrats from the agencies have close relationships with interest groups that want to influence policy.
“The ‘Triangle’ company, “With blood this name will be written in the history of the American workers’ movement, and with feeling will this history recall the names of the strikers of this shop- of the crusaders” (Von Drehle 86). Even before it happen, the Forward predicted the terrible disaster of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory that occurred one year, one month, and seventeen days later (86). Triangle: The Fire that Changed America, by David Von Drehle tells the story of the horrible fire.
In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari, to some extent following Gabriel Tarde, famously claim that 'every politics is simultaneously a macropolitics and a micropolitics' (Deleuze & Guattari 1987, 213). This point is, of course, inscribed in their complex philosophical oeuvre, but, in my opinion, several remarks on it would suffice to prove its relevance for the present research. For Deleuze and Guattari, the social nowadays is characterized by two types of segmentation, namely, supple and rigid. The most perfect example of rigid segmentation is the modern hierarchically organized state, while supple segmentation can be related to all kinds of "microscopic relations" which already existed in the primitive societies. These two type of segmentation cannot be separated from each other and are necessarily entangled. As they go on to argue, 'every society, and every individual, are thus plied by both segmentarities simultaneously: one molar, the other molecular' (Deleuze & Guattari 1987, 213). So, for instance, the proletariat is, so to speak, a molar unit which belongs to the macropolitical dimension. But it is crucial that any class emerges from within the molecular masses. As Deleuze and Guattari argue, 'the
Common sense provides that multidimensional compactification simply does not exist within our observable reality, not to mention a human capable of constructing a house complete with the incomprehensible
Many governments in the world, like the US have subgovernments, systems that help make the voices' of small groups interested in specific things heard. Without many subgovernments small interest groups would not even be recongnized. The iron triangle is one of those subgovernments; congressional committees work with interest groups and a bureaucratic agency to have demands met. Thanks to the iron triangle may small interest groups have a voice in their country governments' legislature.
when i was young, i went to school, for a short time. I used to think, that the world was flat. and box-like.
It is basically to confuse people with what they are looking at in the room. Not until the curious people research and discover it is only a trick and an allusion. They might try to do a 3-D model in order to find out how it is possible to see two different figures while one is bigger than the other figure or person. An Ames room is constructed by plotting the visual rays from the chosen view point to the various points of the notional orthogonal room. Points in the Ames room can then be established on the same visual rays, either closer or further from the view point.
The way dimensions in typical geometry are the typical 0-D, 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D. However, much matter does not fit these basic categories. A great example is a snowflake. If the negligible depth of a snowflake were ignored, it would be considered a 2-D object. However this is not completely true. A 2-D object can always be described by a finite number of tiles all in the same plane, because the snowflake cannot be described with only planes and also requires lines, it can be assumed it possesses properties of both a 1-D and 2-D object. A snowflake can be loosely approximated as a ~ 1.5-D object. This is fractal dimension of the object.
Space is something everyone experiences. However Eliade points out that different people have different reactions to the spatial aspect of the world. A profane man may experience space/spaces homogenously, “ no break qualitatively differentiates the various parts of its mass.” (pg. 22). For an example a profane man might classify a mall and church in the same way because he sees no religious value within them, but he then could regard a hospital sacred because that may be the place of his birth (in page 24 Eliade such sacredness is worthless). A religious man, on the other hand, could look at that same space, a mall and a church, and differentiate the sacred space, also known as the cosmos, from the profane space, also known as the chaos. In this case the religious man would classify the church as sacred place because it has some holy value and the mall as the profane space because it has no holy value at all. In clearer terms the the profane space is h...
The earth is flat. Who, but a government tool, has truly seen the spherical world? The human race should not be content to sit and accept what is broadcasted to the masses. A foul conspiracy to gain power and money keeps us in the dark, and unless the truth is thrust into common knowledge, society will continue to be controlled by scheming New World Leaders. Flat earth is the truth, and lies of science and government perpetuate the myth of a spherical earth.
The theory goes on to explain that string vibrations may not only correspond to the known forces of nature, but possibly to forces of nature that are unfamiliar and unrecognizable in the known universe, but serve some function in another. If the multi-dimension theory is accurate, countless universes could be floating around on separate membranes and remain undetectable to each other. Could one be Heaven? Could one be Hell? Could one be Purgatory? Could one be a universe created specifically for politicians?

Fractal Geometry The world of mathematics usually tends to be thought of as abstract. Complex and imaginary numbers, real numbers, logarithms, functions, some tangible and others imperceivable. But these abstract numbers, simply symbols that conjure an image, a quantity, in our mind, and complex equations, take on a new meaning with fractals - a concrete one. Fractals go from being very simple equations on a piece of paper to colorful, extraordinary images, and most of all, offer an explanation to things. The importance of fractal geometry is that it provides an answer, a comprehension, to nature, the world, and the universe.
My world and everything in it are dependent on my mind for its existence and without my mind that world would not exist. Despite this reasoning, it does seem that I am moving about within a three-dimensional world. Movement itself can be illusory depending on what is believed to be stationary. When I arrived at Zurich I boarded a train and waited to travel on to my destination. A train on the next track also stood waiting. Before long we were off and I watched the carriages of the other train swiftly disappear from view as we gained speed. As we passed the last carriage, I saw that we were still in the station and realised that it was the other train moving and not ours. However, when the train made its way around the mountains and up into the Alps, it did seem as if there was a three-dimensional space through which it moved.
