One wonders what wonders lie ahead for the human race, two things my friend, friendship and magic.

I have returned to the server!

Well, I shall be off for now, I might or might not return, I honestly have no idea, but until we find out, farewell! Also, remember, computational linguists get it to easy.
-
@unhipdruid Oh well the capacity on the other drives is okay, but C:/ needs some cleaning.
-
@unhipdruid Your computer was built by Chuck Norris himself..... But ya the hard drive needs to be cleared up and wow the hard drive has almost no capacity. But seriously, that computer is really good, whatever it is you are running.
-
@renovatedkitchen Not sure, I don't know much about Plato other than what I just told you, well, Wikipedia is a researchers best friend. To the magic school bus(Wikipedia)!
-
@unhipdruid it's a Solid State? How much space is on the hard drive?
-
@unhipdruid TL;DR version: Too much stuff on computer, delete stuff not used.
-
@mushi Holy crap, you sir just changed my view of the entire world, Atari were the geniuses from the start, they plotted it all. THEY ARE THE ONES!
-
@renovatedkitchen He was a philosipher from a long long time ago(in this galaxy, not a far away one.) That designed the "perfect government" known as Plato's republic, MLP takes alot of concepts from this, or so it seems, here is the article explaining the connection: http://www.overthinkingit.com/2012/11/08/my-little-pony-plato/
-
@renovatedkitchen yeah, hey did you see that article that logically proved that MLP takes alot of concepts from Plato's republic?
-
@mushi yeah, everybody has there own skill. My little pony doesn't kid about that. I just happen to be good at learning and I'm one hell of an orator/writer. Arg, but I don't like saying that caus I hate bragging.
-
Remember kids, don't make fun of people, except computational linguists, they deserve every jab they get >:)

@mushi ah, different people have different opinions and nuances I suppose. I just like teaching because knowledge is something that helps everybody. Plus, knowing how to make hover shoes is pretty cool too.
-
I love explaining anything to people, I would probably be a good teacher, plus it makes me feel like I'm actually helping the world in some way.
-
and by the way, if we COULD see four dimensions an object rotating in four dimensions would look something like this : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/8-cell-simple.gif
-
@colfax That's a common misconception, the fourth dimension is actually another dimension of physical form, things begin to get really weird once you pass three dimensions.
-
@renovatedkitchen also I want to point out that I think it is funny that we are discussing physics in a brony social network. I'll be honest, I never saw it coming.
-
@renovatedkitchen well when I say "see" I refer to with the naked eye. Yes we can get machines to produce a visual output that our brains can process or imagine. But we cannot naturally see any for dimensional objects.
-
@erak43 that's basically the idea actually, or maybe if you had a sort of "space bubble" maybe then you could travel outside all universes, but you would still need a chunk of a universe to occupy in order to do so. Who knows? We might discover "junk universes" with nothing in them and then use bits of those to travel outside of reality itself.
-
@erak43 but the thing with going "outside of space" is that there is no space to occupy until you are in another universe, assuming other universes exist, and therefore you cannot be outside of space unless you are in adifferent universe.
-
@renovatedkitchen well, a single dimension can exist but cannot be imagined. Now two dimensions can sortof be imagined, it's basically a flat thing with absolutely no depth. A single dimension isn't even a dot, because that has hight and width, we can't imagine a one dimensional object, because it has no shape that we can imagine.
-
@erak43 I wonder what they would be? I know we have a concept of strings, but that is supposed to be THE basic building block of all matter. Do you think there is any one dimensional object excluding strings that is out there?
-
@renovatedkitchen ah, curiosity is good for the brain. A dimension mathematically can exist independently, but due to obvious challenges we cannot detect them, or at least won't be able to for a while. And apparently there is supposed to be at least sixteen different dimensions and we only see three out of the sixteen
-
@erak43 I love science, science brings up so many hypotheticals and weird things that you could easily have a philosophical debate over science.
-
@renovatedkitchen but that's the problem now isn't it? The brain cannot imagine anything having more or less than three dimensions, but plenty things do. We just can't see them. Something being three dimensional implies that it is made up of three independant dimensions, each with their own plane, the combination of these planes creates the three dimensions we see. And to top that off, our eyes can only see what photons bounce off of, and photons only bounce off of three dimensional particles because they are three dimensional themselves. Of course, to explain this to you fully, I would have to get into quantum mechanics but that would use up too much text space. So yeah, long story short, for something to be three dimensional it has to be made up of three separate dimensions, therefore, logically speaking, a "one dimension" must exist.
-
@renovatedkitchen It's very hard to explain, but yes while atoms are three dimensional, waaaaaaay down the line they are made of one dimensional objects. But this is going farther down than quarks and gluons and and gravitons and neutrinos and many other particles so far down the line that I can't even name them all.
-
@renovatedkitchen Well it does, it's just impossible to mentally picture, if the first dimension did not exist nothing would actually be 3 dimensional.
