Just wondering if you ever notice any of those flaky corny particles decide to leave their two dimensional universe of the bowl? If one succeeded then it has won the battle for space-time travel into higher dimensions.

Can't say I've noticed any flaking off the bowl,but will keep a sharp look out for any
flakers.

I think its the manufacturer fault. They put too much sugar in it.

Hi AntonioLao;

Since the universe is flat don't they use Euclidian geometry regarding it.

It's my only chance of having any possibility of understanding it.

Best to you,

Pat

So then beyond the measure what if any shape would it be?

I did some investigations and my conclusion is that it is a virtual volume. But volume is an extensive variable. The trick is then to make it intensive. I dont know how to do that.

You can't get more spherical than an elongated plane, or flatter than a point on a sphere?

Could this sphere be the Riemann complex sphere? There is a point there which remains disconnected at z=0.
