Understanding 1 dimensional space

By Engineer Saviour - Blaze Labs

Supersymmetry involves the concept of multidimensional space. In order to understand dimensional spaces higher than three, let's start with the simplest 1D case, that of a 1D observer - a line. You might think, well that's quite easy. In fact it is quite easy, but if you really understand it, you might use your knowledge to understand higher dimensions. The amination below shows the observer as a grey line, who is trying to percieve a reality (a 2D circle in this case) in his 1D limited mind. The animated blue line is what he perceives. Note that the reality, the circle, is not changing in time, its radius, colour and all other properties are a part of the reality. The observed thing is very different from this, it is a blue line varying in length WITH TIME. For the observer, it remains a mystery as to what happened to the original full length of line, why and how it changes length and 'pops in and out' of his 'observed reality'.

so the entier universe is a n dimentional sphere (or whatever) and everything from the big bang onards is just our view of the phere going thrugh the mirror? and n-dimensional lifeforms just wouldent even be aware of the situation.

1. if this is soo (and im sure i got it wrong) that assumes there will be a big crunch dosent it?

2. this mirror were looking at it through. whare did it come from? why is it there? why is this object moving though it? my brain hurts
