Thus, the three spatial dimensions - forward-backward, left-right, up-down - are at right angles to each other - and we cannot visualize a fourth.<br />Paul.Paul Shackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180596532266581425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-67779210256778290172016-10-06T08:53:28.157+01:002016-10-06T08:53:28.157+01:00Kaor, Paul!
