Subiectul: Re: And that tells you I've been nicking stuff off the web?
(V): No, there's nothing wrong with using web based info. That's not my point. I anticipated someone telling me there are more than three dimensions. But the word 'dimension' has come to mean more than what it used to mean. I don't look at time or space as being 'objects', so I was obviously not talking about that. Nor was I refering to the multi-dimensions theorized to exist in String theory. But if you want to be technical about it, then yes, both time and space can be seen as dimensions. Since an atom is almost entirely made up of empty space, then it would have to be included in the definition of what a dimension is.
No one consulted me when they decided to expand on the word 'dimension'. I told them maybe they should try using other words, to avoid confusion, but did they listen? Nooooooo!
