One of the interesting things that Stephen Hawking wrote
is that three dimensions are really more than he can
clearly imagine.
Many times I have imagined things in my mind which are
impossible in three dimensions. I think we must have a
strong tendendcy to operate off of silhouettes, as any
good carver might do.
I have made several radially quadrated sherical works.
Working geometrically off of the surface of a shpere will
quickly demomstrate that all parallel lines intersect.
Topologically the surface of any object is a two
dimensional "sheet".
A third dimension is, well, in another dimension, and
could have no relation with that surface.
