Technically, we do live in an eleven-dimensional universe.

[FlatlandTheFilm]

Then we can do 10 sequels?

[MstrQuazi]

I hope someday some 4th dimensional being pulls me out of this flat little world.

[CoollrThnU]

Third dimension, genius.

[s29382820]

No dimension higher than 3?

Please, the fourth dimension has already proved by science.

"OUR UNIVERSE IS CURLED, OR, UNBOUNDARIED BUT SIZED.''

Study more!

[CoollrThnU]

(a three-dimensional much like our own) by a sphere who is preaching the Gospel of the Third Dimension. This same sphere later takes A. Square to Pointland, a world of no dimensions consisting of only one single-point being who has no perception of anything besides himself. He does this after casting the square out of Spaceland for becoming too ambitious and wanting to see the fourth or fifth or even sixth dimension, which the sphere himself could neither comprehend nor tolerate.

[CoollrThnU]

Women are straight lines, the lowliest and least intelligent of shapes, but the sharpness of their extremity makes them the most dangerous beings in Flatland. The inhabitants of this land can see only the sides of others, and thus see others as merely a single, straight line. The main character, A. Square, is a mathematician who visits Lineland, a one-dimensional world, in a dream, and is later taken to Spaceland

[CoollrThnU]

I really hope you're not asking if it actually exists in our world....

Anyway, Flatland is a FICTIONAL two-dimensional world where men are multiple-sided figures whose social status is determined by the number of sides they have and their regularity, and their angles determine their intelligence and wisdom (circles, or many hundreds-sided polygons, are the most intelligent and thus the leaders, and acute isosceles triangles are the least intelligent and most deadly polygons).

[CoollrThnU]

... Come again?
