Thanks Ob - no I didn't know a comic had been made - but I did read about that whole event on his wiki page - john malkovich was in a movie called slaughterhouse 5 I think where he believes he is living in multiple places at mutiple times - who knows - with all this quantum theory 12 string stuff what is real? Some of my favorite thought experiments in philosophy class was how to explain the color red to a man who had no eyes and had never seen it?

HOw do you do it? Without the senses and perceptions to REFERENCE from - how do you get that meme into thier brain?

I am sure you could tell him about waves and nanometers of light and such - but would he ever conceieve of the color RED like you and I do?

There was a star trek episode once where 2d beings were moving the enterprise - they couldn't fully experience our 3d universe with only 2d perception. If there are 12 dimensions - us 3d beings are very limited eh? I guess I read swiftly tilting planet too young and thought we could warp space and tesseract! hehe Thanks for link.
