Everyone knows it is possible, difficult, but possible, to show three dimentions on a two dimentional medium, i.e. a graph of x, y, and z.
Is it possible, and what would it look like, to show 4 dimentions on a three dimentional surface? My theory is that it is possible. I think it would be a a rotating sphere, where each degree of rotation would be a second and the event's position would be recorded by its position on the sphere and how the sphere was rotated.
I am still working on how to represent it mathematically, but my inital thought is that it will be a summation of axis with some equation where the value t will define which axis you measure the other three points by.
I don't want to say anything about my thoughts on the the next 4 years, but I do want to say something about people's reactions post election. GET OVER IT! Bush won the popular vote in the largest voter turn out in 50 years. Not only that, but the Republican party has taken over both the Senate and the House. People are Republican in America right now, such is the way. The people of America have spoken and they want a canidate who will give morality to the government. They do not believe Kerry would have protected them as efficently as Bush. This is a democracy people. The popluar vote, be they educated or illiterate, brillant or dumb as a post, pretty or dog ugly, has the final say. It doesn't matter if you think you are better than them because you went to college. You are either hypocritically calling yourself a believer in democracy or an honest facist. I'll let you decide.
On the plus side for the Democratic Party, I applaud their decision not to press the issue. They realized they clearly lost and I applaud Kerry for not bringing hundreds of lawyers into the mix and creating a fiasco such that we had last election.
Another curiosity, everyone is saying that the Republicans did a better job of getting their message out there. I question that because the political "anal-ists" all said that the debates were either a win for Kerry or too close to call. I suppose you could credit the "Swift Boat" adds for discrediting Kerry, but every news agency, except Fox, was continually trying to show the innacuracy of the adds. Plus, it is obvious that the media leans left, so how could that not impact people? Of course the "anal-ists" also said that a large voter turn-out would favor Kerry. Just goes to show that even the well educated are exceptionally stupid at times.
