4D Gateways: Pipes

Pipes are cool. And we use them a lot!

In this picture, pipes are being used. Wow.

So I read this book, called .... (I forgot the name) ..., which is a colorful book about 2D shapes who live in the 2D world, and they live a 2D life. The plot is that one of the 2D shapes gets shown the beauty of different dimensions, for example the 3D world. What I really liked about it was that it was written in the 19th century, because the whole concept seems really virtual, and the author only uses simple shapes and polygons as characters. The book also contains some strong religious and social criticism, which I found interesting.

So this 2D guy gets showed the 3D world by 3D beings. Now when these 3D beings (spheres) go into the 2D world (a plane) to talk to the 2D guy. Of course our 2D guy only sees them as other 2D shapes... except as they move perpendicular to the 2D world, their size changes. So the 2D guy doesn't believe them, that they come from some higher dimensional world.

As the spheres move in and out of the plane, the 2D guy thinks they are only 2D illusionists, who can change their size.

So what these spheres do, to try and stagger our 2D shape, is that they fly out of the 2D plane, and they touch the inside of the shape... they touch his guts and his insides, without penetrating the outer line of the shape.

Just as the blue ball is touching the inside of the blue circle, the spheres touched the inside of the 2D guy. Yuck!

So what really gets me thinking, is that these 3D spheres have access to every single point of the 2D guy's inside! Of course this is basic geometry... and mostly an high-schooler has a grasp of the concept of spatial dimensions.

But this book gives a such more cooler perspective of it! Because the spheres are touching the insides of a living things. So basically what we would need in our real 3D world to have the perfect surgeries, are 4D doctors! Or at least doctors, who have access to the 4th dimension, and can come back. These "4D-doctors", would be able to have access to every single point in the inside of your body, without having to penetrate your skin, or move some organs in order to get access to others.

So you know this is just random Budapest M3 metro thought... and then I realize that 4D channeling exactly what we aim to do with syringes! And in more general, pipes!

So pipes basically are these amazing gateways between 2 arbitrary points in the 3D world. They have two openings and between those two they try to take up as little space as possible, to disturb the rest of the world as possible. Whatever is going through the pipes is totally isolated from our world, it's basically travelling though a different existence, just as if it were bridging over through a higher dimension.

So pipes are cool :) Of course they are not perfect 4D gateways, but they try their best. Syringes do have to penetrate the skin somewhere, but you know, it's only in one small place (but I still hate getting shots).

Yay for pipes!
