Quote: "When these conceptions are generalized to more than two dimensions, they open the door to Riemannian geometry, tensor sensor analysis, and the idea of Einstein."
Questions: Was having a set number of dimensions a huge thing?
Comments: Let's be honest. This reading was insufferable, they keep getting worse. I usually find a few lines that I particularly like, but not in this one. The one I chose was one that just led to a bigger idea, completely unrelated to the article, but I chose it anyway. The thing I noticed about this line is that life has those sort of domino effects. I'm sort of relating this to Rachel's class instead, but when we read that short story "Harrison Bergeron", I thought about this quote. In that story, everything was equal, no one was smarter or faster than anyone else. But... this quote doesn't show the competition of work (Though there may have been intense competition), it shows the process of being inspired and working off the idea of another person which isn't equal, but it's progressive. I don't know, I was terribly bored by the reading and when that happens, my mind wanders off into space.
