[QUOTE="ElementalDissonance, post: 94497, member: 6064"] Well, I bit off a little more than I cared to chew with that one, but it was interesting to catch up on the latest and greatest that science has to offer. For me, a dimension is a path along which something changes. Whether it changes in physical space or in temporal "space", these are only two of the limitless ways in which something can change. In order to differentiate something from something else, you have to perceive a difference along some kind of line or curve. If you look at these things from close up and study them minutely, you will find at least one difference, and perhaps even many. If you decide you want to perceive the endpoints (or "extremes") and back up to get a look at the overall picture, you realize that these two things were a lot closer, a lot more similar than you'd noticed on closer inspection. If you back up even more, for a finite possibility of changes the whole dimension will begin to collapse toward one single point, toward one single thing in an infinite void. For an infinite number of possible changes, at an infinite distance these two points will fuse into one point on an infinite line. They might as well be the same thing. This is why music from genres you dislike "all sounds the same", and why two groups from a genre you love are like night and day. This is what a dimension is to me, and to me it is the reason why some people are called one-dimensional and others are called multi-dimensional. I wonder if that's the artist's definition? [/QUOTE]
