A world of only two dimensions. Only forwards and backwards, left and right. In this world, there is no up and no down. He said to Ray, where's Dottie? He said, well, she's out in line.
What the bleep is that thing? In this world, the two-dimensional beings that live here have no concept of three-dimensional objects. These two-dimensional flatlanders have no understanding of cubes, spheres, tetrahedrons, or yours truly.
From their 2D perspective, my 3D finger looks something like this. Hello, little circle. Uh-uh. Fear of the unknown.
Or should I say, not yet known. It's a puzzle. If we see only what we know, how does anyone ever see anything new? The unknown. How do we ever get out of our box?
Hello, little circle. Don't be afraid. Who said that?
Where are you? This is always the tricky part to explain. I'm in another dimension, another space.
I am above you. Ah! No, never, never use that word. What word? The A word.
Above? AHHH! Huuuh! It's forbidden! Well, what do you think it means?
I don't know. And I don't want to know. You can be severely punished if you use that word.
Are you a ghost? I hope not. I just have a different perspective than you do. I can see things in a way you can't yet. Oh yeah?
Like what? Well... Well, okay, you have a safe hidden in your pantry.
And inside it, you have 12 coins, a will, and a passport. How did you know that? What are you?
Are you a god? Well, no more than you. You see, since I am above you...
Ah! In the third dimension, I can see inside things in your world. Third dimension?
You are a crazy ghost. There's only two. Look.
So, if I were to touch the inside of your stomach, how would I do that? Well, you'd have to cut through my skin. Otherwise, it's impossible. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh What will I become? You'd have to become it to know.
Okay. Excellent. Isn't it funny?
That which we are most afraid of is what thrills us the most.
