The 4th Dimension

The journey into the 4th balance 4/19/12 Nature of Math The world we survive in today is a world of 3- propertys filled with object glasss that are zero, ace and two dimensions. We all walk around in our 3-dimensional world mentation on that point could be no other dimensions. But would you believe me if I were to notify you that there is a 4th dimension that lies past our unremarkable experience? The truth is that there is a 4th dimension and its not that far a authority, the crazy thing is that there could be an myriad bend of other dimensions out there as well that we go forth never hang and that our minds thronenot even begin to fathom.In order for you to fully infer the possibility of a 4th and possibly other dimensions I first hire to explain the third prior and how they work. Lets perplex with 0 dimensions. When we classify an objects dimensions we classify it according to the number of full stops of freedom it has. Therefore a 0-dimensional object would h ave zero degrees of freedom and would be represented as a superlative. With 0-dimensions you do not need any information to locate a point within that dimension. This is neat because any 0-dimensional object has no length width or height.Now look at about taking that point and simply wholesale it to the left homogeneous you are drawing a line with the point. By sweeping the point in a line you have just nonplusn a zero dimensional point and created a 1-dimensional line. All of 1-dimensional space is a line. Within a line there is only virtuoso degree of freedom, or one style in which the line is capable of moving. It whitethorn seem like a line should be classified as a 2-dimensional object because it can pass away left and right besides really it is based on how many different directions the line travels, which is one left and right. Now think about a line as your street.Your specific house would only be one point on that street and in order to find it you would only need to tell one number in order for it to be found. Now if we issuance the 1 dimensional object and try and make it into a 2-dimensional object all we have to do is repeat the same process as before, take the line and find a new direction it can move. In the case of the second dimension we are going to take the line and move it vertically (perpendicular to the original line) in a sweeping motion, thus creating a plane. Along with creating a plane you have as well as just created the 2-dimension.Inside of this world of 2-dimensions you now have the freedom to go left and right and up and tweak. 2-dimensional objects are all around us, squares, triangles, circles. A 2 dimensional world would be one where e genuinelything is flat, people would not be able to see depth or width we could only see what is in front of us in our flat world. Crazy huh? You may have noticed the trend by now on how we move into new dimensions by simply sweeping the current dimension in a new direction. So when we take our 2-dimensional plane and sweep it up and down it will form a stoppage. This creates the move from 2nd to third dimension.The 3rd dimension is one in which I am anticipate you are fairly familiar with considering we live in a 3-dimensional world. Anything in our world that is tangible would be something 3-dimensional, so for example your cat, your favorite pants, a cube. Three dimensional object now have the ability not only to move left and right or up and down on a plane but can also constitute depth and width into the picture You may now be ask well if we live in the 3rd dimension where is the 4th dimension and what is it? Great Question We would make the 4th dimension the same way as we have made all of the others.Simply take the third dimension (for our sake lets say a cube) and slide it into a new direction perpendicular to all three previous directions. This may seem bonnet because we do not hunch over any other directions aside from the three we are confine d to in our world. But supposing we drag our 3-d cube in this new direction, then the 3-d cube now becomes 4-dimensional. We know this is true because in order to locate a point on this new figure we would need four different directions. This shows that there very well could be a 4th dimension out there somewhere.Some people believe that time could be the 4th dimension, but it is tranquillize not determined. also it could mean that there are hundreds of millions of other possibilities for dimensions as well. And while we cant see the fourth dimension or wrap our minds around it we can now depict it to others. I chose this national for my presentation because dimensions were my favorite topic of the class this year. They intrigued me, and made me question a lot about the world I perceive and live in. Also dimensions made me want to further pursue math and see how it relates to me in other ways that I didnt realize.
