minus-square@NounsAndWords@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish47•7 months agoNot really, but it’s a useful assumption for lots of different types of maths.

minus-square@Klear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-27 months agoQuaternions make a whole lot more sense when you imagine a third spatial axis and use them to rotate a hypothetical 3D object.
minus-square@quinceyBones@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish30•edit-27 months agoYes, time is the third dimension.
minus-square@ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoYes, and now some bozos are even discussing a 4th dimension. Something to do with chess, I think.
minus-square@KazuchijouNo@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglish32•7 months agoMy thoughts precisely, they are just assumimg this is just a 2D circle, when in reality it’s more likely to be a 3D sphere. They aren’t accounting for the area of a 3D object, we don’t even know the thickness of the “slices” that are flying.

There’s a third dimension now?

This is madness!!!
Yes, time is the third dimension.
Always has been
