All those people that just spent mucho dinero on new 3D televisions are going to feel real stupid when the fourth dimension comes our way!

lol! Over the years on FR I'm constantly amazed and entertained by the pithy and downright hilarious replies from Freepers. That one ranks right up there with the best of 'em. :)

This would require the moon in the 2nd house, and Jupiter to align with Mars... no?

That would explain where the writing of Dan Brown came from.

They suggested that the early universe -- which exploded from a single point and was very, very small at first -- was one-dimensional (like a straight line) before expanding to include two dimensions (like a plane) and then three (like the world in which we live today).

Kind of thought that's the way it happened.
Distance and time were the last dimension to be added (think distance and time are not exactly the same, but 1 is necessary for the other to exists off of the preceding 2 dimensional plane).
Now when does gravity crank up in all of this?
