The mathematical point is conceptually dimensionless. In reality I'm not sure, but it seems like a good starting point. Besides it was you who introduced the photon as a potential dimensionless point particle. I wanted to start with a 1 dimensional string.

Best to you,

Pointless?

A dimensionless point would be pointless, wouldn't it?
So what is the point, or isn't there one?

In reality can we describe a single dimension in isolation?? For me the dimensions seem to be virtual.

Hi MJA;

I think in order for us to get to your truth we at least have to get back to the singularity, where all is ONE.

Best,

Pat

[dipayankar]

is it important to define dimensions with singularity??

Perhaps thinking in terms of what dimensions and/or singularities are made of exactly will assiste us in discerning whether or not dimensions should be defined as an infinite number of singularities.

This is a paradox.. how can dimensionless particles create dimensions??? Can 5 paupers make a millionaire??

No .... But a Lakh (lack) of them can .... LOLOL

cool bananas ... greg

[dipayankar]

Its 10 lakhs actually... but the paradox still remains unexplained..

Hi Everyone;

Lets start off that there is a difference between oblivion and consciousness. We are conscious, are we not? We are also conscious of 3 dimensional space. Given that should we not attempt to understand where this 3 dimensional space came from, be it real or illusion?

Thats all I'm trying to do here, and again it's my thought we start with zero, then 1st dimension, then 2nd dimension, and finally 3rd dimension.

Dipayankar I agree how indeed do we get something from nothing. Being a theist I believe in the creation story, although I realize that is not OBJECTIVE but SUBJECTIVE. The alternative would be to believe in some sort of steady state universe. One theory I heard is that our universe was created when 2 parallel universes collided, but than your back to where did those universes come from.

Please share your thoughts on this subject gentlemen and ladies.

Best to all,

Pat
