Title: An infinite potential that does not appear redundant?
Post by: DarkHorizon on November 03, 2013, 18:02:32
For example, would we ever run out of sounds to make music. Would we eventually bore ourselves from experiencing all the potentials? A good example is color, are there a finite number of colors? Or is there infinite potential. This is a question I've longed to have answer. In space we have 3 directions, x,y,z. Would we eventually expend all possible perceivable forms?

In laymen terms, is it possible for there to be an infinite number of possible polygons, each with its own uniqueness, without them eventually appearing redundant to one another (having only slight differences to each other)?

Sound is only possible to hear through a medium. Remove this and it dissapears.
There are more colours that we can't see than those we can. From far infra red to past Xrays. There's probably more outside of this group too. We only see a limited view through our window of sight.
X,Y,Z are the main 3 dimensions we can observe. One that escapes many is in and out. This exists too, think about the alternate realities we visit and ghosts for example.
Shapes change too. A bubble is a sphere in a zero gravity environment, if you spin it it becomes an elliptoid, squashed at the poles so to speak. Spin it really fast and it will appear as a disc.
Then there's quadrature interaction but this requires a knowledge of vectors and calculus, its starts to get complicated after this.

Ya but lets say you have a paper that is infinite in dimension. And you have an unlimited number of vertices to work w/. Could you always make a polygon that looked unique to another and had its own beauty?

You're proposing a two dimensional array to build on?
All you'd see is lines of various lengths that change due to shape and rotation.
There's a vid in YT explaining this. Look for flatland.

Fractals, man.
Just fractal it.
