Imagining The Tenth Dimension

[sam fisher]

char********** string[20];

I think I found the tenth dimension, and there are definitely strings. :blink:

Thats one hell of a pointer Note, i don't actually know what i'm talking about here and the book im reading is no where near covering pointers. I just assume that that is one, due to the *.

Wouldn't it be... char[][][][][][][][][][] string?

But still lawl programming joke.

god.
don't be a moron.
arrays and pointers go hand in hand.

 

[sam fisher]

No thats 4 times bigger than the original.

Well it is still doubled, but in both x and y directions. It is basically 2:1 scaling.

But if you double the size two times it will be four times bigger. (Xx2x2=4X) basic math

They do? I know that if you pass an array as an argument to a function that a pointer is passed to the original array :unsure:

 

[nickspoon]

An array is a pointer to the area in memory in which the actual data resides. Each [number], therefore, is array pointer+number*sizeof(array type).

<--- Java programmer.

I wouldn't know a C pointer even if you slapped me with it.

Quantum physics has been able to theorize that our brains work backwards in time.

 

[Bingo Jesus]

Look at this way: the vector introduced in dimension N+1 is simultaneously perpendicular to all vectors existing in the Nth dimension.

Don't let my lecturer hear you saying that, you most certainly don't need an orthonormal basis for a vector space. The just have to be linearly independent.

Don't let my lecturer hear you saying that, you most certainly don't need an orthonormal basis for a vector space. The just have to be linearly independent.

To put it another way, this seems like the most rational perspective to me:
New dimension introduced in 2d is sim. perpendicular to all line segments existing in the 1d.
New dimension introduced in 3d is sim. perpendicular to all line segments existing in the 2d.
New dimension introduced in 4d is sim. perpendicular to all line segments existing in the 3d.
...

I've stated my position and have provided some supporting evidence (referring not to the above but more so the articles cited in my previous posts). If you'd like to do the same for your perspective, I welcome a real open discussion on the subject. Others who commented on the original topic haven't really shown any evidence for their perspective, only stating disagreement and/or dismissing our ability to understand the concept at all.

AFAIK, this issue (4d = time/space) has not been resolved at the academic or scientific level and is still in debate.

It has.... I thought it just used neurotransmitters, and they don't work backwards in time :unsure:

 

[nickspoon]

I work backwards in time.

No, sam, really?
