sanity is relative. we're all insane in our own little ways.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 10:49 pm

You only need to talk to my friends (and some of their friends that I don't know) to prove that.

Of course, I don't think that my friends friends have any sanity at all.

one of my friends tried to convince me that a 4 dimensional object casts a three dimensional shadow ._.

Well your friend is correct... hooray for dimensional analogy

Well, they do.

Yeah... no.

If it's an objectively stupid opinion, expect to get **** for it like everywhere else.

Hahahahaha

FA? Sure, there are a lot of mental underachievers.

But since we're talking about FAF here, it's the exact opposite.

Mod Edit: Use of that term as profanity is not allowed.

Well I haven't been to their forums, but I think I would rather go to a forum of a more ...dignified website.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:09 pm

There's no need to argue about whether or not people should argue someplace else. Go there if you'd like, don't go if that's what you'd prefer. Regardless of what other websites somebody frequents we can all always come back here for milk and cookies.

sonic id furreh!!! wrote:one of my friends tried to convince me that a 4 dimensional object casts a three dimensional shadow ._.

I believe Wanderer's right that it would, in theory.
Of course, four dimensional objects for testing the idea are somewhat difficult to find at the moment.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:09 pm

Athodyd, I'm fairly certain you're not going to get anyone to think of the FA forums as even a relatively decent place.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:10 pm

Not everyone on FA is stupid. I've met a lot of pretty rocking people there honestly.
I haven't been on the forums though hmm.

sonic id furreh!!! wrote:one of my friends tried to convince me that a 4 dimensional object casts a three dimensional shadow ._.

yeah basically.

but isn't the fourth dimension time? how would time cast a shadow

isn't it 3 dimesion x time = 4 dimesion?

No.
Some people think it is and in a way it counts but that's not what he's talking about.

and even if he is, that still means the shadow is three dimensional. It has length, width, and time.

Her friend is referring to Euclidean 4-space. Space-time is different.

BOOOM! *sounds of mind blown*
I'm not sure that knowing 4d helped our life, yeah Some Si-fi but what else?

Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:19 pm

I have no experience with the FA forums, but I can say it's likely not a very decent place compared to this forum, yet quite possibly decent compared to other forums. Let's drop this subject and agree to disagree as Psykeout said.

and my mind is not blown, just bleeding a bit.

YOU'RE JUST NOT THINKING FOURTH DIMENSIONALLY!

(To be fair, the Doc had only discovered that time travel was possible a week before and had only once witnessed it occur- Marty had experienced it firsthand multiple times. He really ought to have figured stuff like this out by now).

But yeah time is sometimes called the fourth dimension so you're right in a sense
but I think it's a different concept from the fourth spatial dimension
so essentially I just restated what everyone else was able to in the time that it took me to look up that BTTF screencap.

Invaluable is a dumb word that means the opposite of what it says it means
it's also a word i use sometimes so whatever
but it messed me up on vocab tests in 5th grade so I'm still mad at it

:p sorry, but today is april fool s day! I'll get my own avatar back when april fool's day is over.

Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:41 pm

you could have asked.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:41 pm

I think I will keep mine the same.
(Too much work to get another.)

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:42 pm

Oh, I forgot about April Fool's Day.

Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:43 pm

I think I may switch mine around throughout the day, maybe go to my pony, maybe jack an avatar from a formerly active, long inactive member.
