Learned some really cool stuff today. Perhaps the best was about non integer dimensions. My professor wrote his dissertation about them. For example, there are physical things that we can interact with everyday that are in the dimension 0.6, 3/2, or log(4)/log(3). He hasn't gone in depth too much (just a blow your mind moment) but I want to get a copy and read it. I know some of you get a kick out of this stuff. Think about it.  |

are you studying quantum physics/mechanics?

Both of the above posters are correct. Why did you lure me in here? ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

I honestly don't know much about it. The log(4)/log(3) one is a perfect snowflake. Further, the bonds in amorphous solids (glass, Styrofoam, cotton candy) are dimension 3 as a solid, but are dimension 2.55 as they turn to liquid. I honestly don't know enough math to fully understand this stuff... |

I dont get whats so special about that. Is something with a dimension of .6 supposed to be wacky crazy or something?

^^^Dude, it's 0.6; that makes it much cooler than 0.59 or 0.61!

I was always under the impression that physical dimensions could only be non-negative integers. Crazy. So crazy, that I really can't even visualize it.

That's the point, I believe. Either way, so far this thread is fail, not fun. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |
