Inquiring Minds Want to Know...
About the Fourth Dimension
Here are some questions about the fourth dimension generated by
my Spring 2003 Math 100 class.
-
What is the idea behind it?
-
How much do we really know and how much did we "make up"?
-
Can you see it? (Or is it just an idea?)
-
Does it have a proof?
-
How long has it been known to exist? Does it exist?
-
Why is it called the 4th?
-
How many dimensions are there?
-
Is it time?
-
Did it play a role in the beginning of the universe?
-
Does it make a difference in math? in life?
