"Connections and Why They Matter"
Most of what happens in our life will spark a connection. Life connects with what has been found in books. Books connect with what happens in life. Use the connections to help you see more clearly. A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
The recent review of Flatland, by Edwin A. Abbott, suggests some questions for our consideration.
All us folks are 3rd dimension beings, but we can experience the 4th dimension of "Time". Abbott's thoughts on this, for mid 19th century, are really amazing.
We exist in the past, present and future. Perhaps we can find a way to take the 3rd dimension and move into the 4th, but what about the 5th and are there more?
Einstein's theory stated that an entity’s velocity, or its momentum, is only measurable in relation to something else, and secondly that the speed of light is a constant in a vacuum, regardless of the person measuring it and the speed at which the person travels. The third part of the equation is that nothing goes faster than light in contrast to Newton's gravitational laws. To make it work, Einstein needed the fourth dimension called space-time. He expressed his theory using the famous mathematical equation E= MC2
Today, scientists use 10 dimensions and string theory to explain where gravity and light from the electromagnetic spectrum meet.
