For example, in the post in question, I forgot to mention the problem of when our imagination is completely and utterly incapable of dealing with the necessary ideas. How well are are our imaginations in dealing with multiple dimensions? I would assume that most of us are able to handle two dimensions, while many, to be honest, in handling three dimensions find themselves severely tasked. So how well are they then able to handle imagining four dimensions? Practically none of them are able to deal with that! Let alone all the multiple more dimensions beyond that! Which mathematics enables us to navigate with ease. Our imaginations are severely limited. Mathematics enables us to far exceed our imaginations.

I'm glad you are able to be honest about your post that do fail most of the time. Don't know what all these PotM's are for, I'm guessing you don't either.
You're better than that... - Oni

“The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.” - Francis Bacon "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
