The question then arises as to how one 3D form always follows another. Suppose objects are four dimensional, the discussion is then a discussion about why particular forms exist.<br /><br />(Notice that the geometry of the universe is given by the metric:<br /><br />ds^2 = dx^2 + dy^2 +dz^2 - (cdt)^2<br /><br />and the quantum mechanical description of the lifetime of particle shows that dEdt < constant so a 3D universe is impossible)Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866896441731516034noreply@blogger.com
