Sunday, August 12, 2012Doctor WhoOn Robert A. Heinlein's novel Glory Road— "Glory Road (1963) included the foldbox , a hyperdimensional packing case that was bigger inside than outside. It is unclear if Glory Road was influenced by the debut of the science fiction television series Doctor Who on the BBC that same year. In Doctor Who , the main character pilots a time machine called a TARDIS, which is built with technology which makes it 'dimensionally transcendental,' that is, bigger inside than out." — Todd, Tesseract article at exampleproblems.com From the same exampleproblems.com article— "The connection pattern of the tesseract's vertices is the same as that of a 4×4 square array drawn on a torus; each cell (representing a vertex of the tesseract) is adjacent to exactly four other cells. See geometry of the 4×4 square." For further details, see today's new page on vertex adjacency at finitegeometry.org. |
