Penrose also cites the Mandelbrot set as an example of something mathematicians did not create. Or to put it another way, the Mandelbrot set exists - like Reimannian geometry or pi - and the mathematician came along and discovered it.
Boogieman mentioned higher dimensions and the discussion has moved into string theory. But one of the more elegant solutions only requires five dimensions (P.S. Wesson)
That said, all of you might find Wesson's work on time rather interesting: Time as an Illusion
Yes, Wesson's 3-space, 2-times model 3S+2T very elegant!
Wesson's article, Time as an Illusion, is a fascinating read! Thank you ever so much for the link, dearest sister in Christ! It's a "keeper!"
