My Dimension Challenge

... and those are irrelevant when it comes to the packing density limits of normal animals inside your ark.

I disagree.

 

[SelfSim]

I disagree.

Also irrelevent when it comes to String Theory's applicability in your scenario.

 

[Kylie]

Yes, but string theory adds seven more to them.

If I show you a picture of a car, would you care to tell me what the length, breadth, depth and height of that car are?

 

[AV1611VET]

If I show you a picture of a car, would you care to tell me what the length, breadth, depth and height of that car are?

No.

Would you also show me a car and say ants couldn't fit into it?

 

[Kylie]

No.

Would you also show me a car and say ants couldn't fit into it?

Why do you think ants can't fit into a car? Most cars I've seen are more than large enough to hold an ant. How big are the cars where you live?

 

[essentialsaltes]

I disagree.

The math and physics disagrees.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

.. and yet religions are critically dependent on the products of philosophy?

Religions do have their own philosophical ideas, but the specifically religious parts as usually considered to be theology.

(Whereas science detects and isolates them .. and proceeds with its business by treating philosophically held beliefs with indifference).

Science too makes use of philosophical ideas (the extent of its dependence is debatable) - the philosophy of science has made important contributions to the scientific method and the scientific approach & thinking in general.

 

[Strathos]

And of course, that's your choice to believe that.

But by believing that, you have to relegate the Ark to myth status, else how could all those animals fit into it?

I've made it clear before that I believe Noah was a real person and he did build an ark.

 

[SelfSim]

No.
Would you also show me a car and say ants couldn't fit into it?

What on earth does that have to do with your argument?

So we're saying large extra dimensions is caput then(?)
.. Interesting ... (moreso than AV1611VET's attempts, anyway).

These large extra dimensions if they exist don't help in supporting more animals on the Ark.
The more extra large dimensions you add the smaller they become.

Let's keep a sense of perspective here.
One doesn't have to argue about the size and number of dimensions being large enough to support animals on an Ark which is more in the realm of science fiction.
Since the inverse square law applies in all cases means the deadweight tonnage is the limiting factor for the Ark.

 

[AV1611VET]

Since the inverse square law applies in all cases means the deadweight tonnage is the limiting factor for the Ark.

And Who do you think can tell the inverse square law to take a hike?

Do you think maybe He's the same One who told thermodynamics to take one?

Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

What do you think the law of gravity is going to do to those who are being raptured?

I get the impression that, when God shows up, nature usually stands aside.

 

[SelfSim]

And Who do you think can tell the inverse square law to take a hike?

Anyone who chooses to remain ignorant of his/her surroundings?
Choosing to do so of course, doesn't improve their chances of convincing anyone else to follow such a lead. It would also be disingenuous of them.

Do you think maybe He's the same One who told thermodynamics to take one?

Who knows? If it is, then that too would be disingenuous.

What do you think the law of gravity is going to do to those who are being raptured?

Bring them back to the real world?

I get the impression that, when God shows up, nature usually stands aside.

Would that be an objectively testable 'impression'?

 

[AV1611VET]

Would that be an objectively testable 'impression'?

No.

That's why they're called "miracles."

And that's why science is myopic.

 

[Strathos]

No.

That's why they're called "miracles."

And that's why science is myopic.

If you want to appeal to miracles, why are you trying to come up with scientific explanations for them?

How many dimensions of space are there?

As many as it takes.

 

[lesliedellow]

How many dimensions of space are there?

Three, no matter how many string theorists manage to invent in their febrile imaginations.

 

[AV1611VET]

Three, no matter how many string theorists manage to invent in their febrile imaginations.

Paul mentions four.

 

[Kylie]

Paul mentions four.

Which you refuse to demonstrate (perhaps because you can't).

 

[lesliedellow]

Paul mentions four.

I must have missed the part where he talked about there being four linearly independent basis vectors, and no more than that.

 

[dad]

How many dimensions of space are there?

Three? The heavens in which the birds fly, I think the bible says. Then the heavens where the sun and stars are. Then there is the heaven of heavens where God is, that seems to be beyond the firmament or 'space'. Am I missing some?

But since the question was framed using the word dimensions of space, I would say we don't really know. What dimension would fallen angels in space live in? What dimensions exist in space?
