Reaction to Chapter 3 of
Andrew Miller
Summary: Chapter 4 of Beyond the Third Dimension describes how slices of a three dimensional object that pass through a plane can provide insight into the shape of the object. Time becomes a significant dimension in such a scenario because, if the velocity of the object is known, the slices of the object can be pieced together to give a description of the object’s shape. Similarly, one could examine three dimensional slices of four dimensional objects that change with time to understand the shapes of such objects.
