I was watching a documentary about the human body, and come to find out when adrenaline is released to the brain, more people claim to feel time slow down almost bu half. The brain takes in more photos per second than usual form the adrenaline, and thus more information therefore giving you more time to react. The human brain holds the key. It's amazing.

Hi Rob,

I've been wondering if it is it fair to say that every being sees in 1 Dimension less than the one they live in. For example a Flatlander who exists in 2D looking at another flatlander sitting next to them would see a line segment only, which is a 1D visual. Also a 1D creature would see only a dot when when another 1D creature's segment of the line segment overlaps with his world.

If it's true it may be something that further supports that we are 4D creatures as we see in 3D.

@cloudanu If we saw in 3D we could see all the surfaces of a 3D object without having to turn and twist in the 3rd dimension. A 2D flatlander can see in 1D, but can experience a 2D object by moving in the x and y dimensions. A 3D person can see every surface of a 2D flatlander by moving in the z. Because we have to move and twist in 3D to fully experience a 3D object, it stands to reason that we exist in 3 spatial dimensions.

@cloudanu thats what I was looking for, I seen a problem that a 2D entity would see only a 2D section of another flatlander yet only we can see the top of either flatlander, so I wonder is there a 4D section of us we cannot see, perhaps these tie in someway or another.

@12GaugeLosAngeles hmm...the first time i ever tried smoking cigarettes I had this experience. Nicotene releases adrenaline in the body...which is the buzz people speak of. I remember my "awareness" seemed to "open up" as though I was drinking in more of reality. taking more in. Interesting idea...

@rumive I don't see flat 2D when I close one eye, though. How do you account for that?

@rumive What is a FULL dimension?

[rumive]

@1971SuperLead time is a direction, not a full dimension.

[1971SuperLead]

@rumive I understand what you are saying, but we see in time as well. Our eyes are always seeing in the past. They do not see the future and they do not see the present. Like looking at a star, we see what was there, not what is there. Time is a dimension. Already we live in the 4th dimension, see in the 3rd dimension and are about to "jump" into the 5th dimension.

[rumive]

@1971SuperLead he is not right, I think. read my reply to his comment.

[rumive]

@cloudanu however, we do not see in 3d. we see in 2d, because the 3D illusion is created inside our brain, which uses two 2D images to create the illusion of a 3 dimensional image. that is why you have no depth perception if you close one eye.
