It said that the universe may be flat and gravity and the third dimension a holographic projection.
Creepy how we (SL, computers, etc.) model reality (RL, mind, etc.) without necessarily knowing it.

That, or reality is 4-dimensional. Or 10-dimensional (5 pairs of real/imaginary dimensions). I think it might be 10-dim...

I heard that there are 23 dimensions, but apparently some of them are curled up tightly in the corner. Not sure what scared them away like that - but anything big'n'bad enough to frighten 19 dimensions - weeeeeeellll, let's just say I aint gonna go looking for it.

136. That's all I have to add.
[Edit] No wait, I'm also gonna say this: 9 51 15159 19 51 15951 You decode this, I give you a very special gift. _____________________

I can see the resemblance with SL in one respect, SL is flat. What makes you say SL is holographic?
Just think, if we had 4 or 5 more functional full-sized spatial dimensions than we do now, when something fell and rolled away there's be no chance of finding it. Imagine people giving directions to lost travelers: "Well, go four klicks southprime, then turn .37 rads on the alpha pi axis, go 2 klicks , turn negative .314 rads on the aleph null axis and spin .2173 rads along the alpha pi axis and spin -.1040 rads on the pompatoose axis; then keep going till you see the blue tesseract with the big clown face, it's the fifth floor up and third door on the negative alpha omicron." --- in today's news..... Printed paper map industry destroyed as new spatial dimensions cause mass suicide among struggling map refolders. _____________________
